O21 (2014)
Superb, Marvelous, Outstanding. Dare To Challenge Hollywood
Operation O21 : Movie Review : By Kashif Amin
Ever Thought A Pakistani Movie Without A Single Song, Without A Single Laughter. Ever Thought A Pakistani Movie, When Intermission Transpire, The Viewers Realize That They Are In Theater, Not The Part Of The Film. Yes, We Have, Operation - 021 .
Lets Talk About Some Striking Features .
STORY : Corporate Rapacity May Ignite A Terrible War Over Afghanistan And Pakistan After Trillion Dollar Lithium Deposit Found In Afghanistan. The Story Is Original And Have A Capacity To Make A Big Flick On It.
SCREENPLAY & DIALOGUES : Its Gripping And Perhaps The Most Tangible Asset Of This Feature. I Give Full Marks To Azan Sami And Jami On This Nook. All The Characters Are Well Written. Dialogues Are Fresh And Attention Seeker.
"There Are Three Types Of Friends, One Is Friend, Other Is Friend's Friend And The Last Is Enemy's Enemy" "Ye Jo Seerat E Mustaqeem Ka Rasta Hota Hai Na, Ye Buhat Chota Hota Hai"
The Major Portion Of The Film Is In English And Pashto, But Have A Clear Urdu Subtitles.
CINEMATOGRAPHY & BACKGROUND SCORE : DOP Is Simply Stunning, A Visual Treat. The Background Score Is Designed In A Way That Your Heart Beat Syncs Easily With What Is Playing On The Screen, Superb.
PERFORMANCE : You Can Witness Some Rich Performances In The Movie. Shan And Ayub Khoso Once Again Proved That They Are The TALENT MINES . The More You Digg, The More You Get. Shamoon As Antagonist Is Good But In Cameo. Hameed Shaikh And Aamina Shaikh Did Full Justice To Their Roles.
DIRECTION : Jami Did A Superb, Marvelous , Outstanding Job. He Takes This Art To Entirely A Different Level. A Top Notch Work, Dare To Challenge Hollywood.
Operation 21 Is An Spy-Thriller Like Never Before Attempted This Way In Pakistan And India. Its Not An Ordinary Action Movie With Fighting Sequences And Stunts Rather It Challenges Audience To Live Through The Film And Find The Truth Themselves.
VERDICT : 9 / 10 ( A Must Watch)
The System (2014)
Besides Some Flaws, Give It A Chance..Go For It
THE SYSTEM Movie Review By : KASHIF AMIN
So Finally After Seven And A Half Month, Here Comes An Other Lollywood Flick, "The System" . Produced By LEOS Films And Directed By The First Timer Shehzad Ghafoor, Lets Talk About The Components Of The Movie.
The System Highlights The Corruption And Bribe Culture In Pakistan. The Story Is Simple And Straight But The Screen Play Really Really Suffers. Screen Play is Weak and Not Gripping At All. However The Dialogues Are Entertaining." JIS KE JINAY KA KOI FAIDA NA HO, US KE MARNY KA KOI NUQSAN NAHI HOTA" "MERA AIK ASOOL HAI, MERA KOI ASOOL NAHI" .
The System is Introducing A Fresh Pair, Shehraz Ghafoor And Kashaf Ali.Shehraz Is Good Looking, Specially His Shirtless Scenes Are Awesome But Failed To Create Impact As An Actor. Nadeem Baig Is Wonderful In His Role. Shafqat Cheema as Antagonist Is Top Notch, A Totally Knock Out Performance. Nayyer Aijaz is Strictly OK.
The Film Has Featured Some Great Songs. Specially "Sayyon Re" And "Ariya" are good Tracks. Editing Is Worst. I Think This Movie Should Be Re Edited By Some One Else. Direction Is Average Under The Low Budget (5 Crore).The B ROLLs Are Not Properly Sync With The Situations. Action Sequences Are Few And Has Some Good Moments.
PLUSES : Songs | Shafqat Cheema | Dialoges Minuses : Screen PLay | Editing | Performance Of The Protagonist
My Rating : 5.5 / 10 Go For IT.. Support Pakistani Cinema
