Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (2015)

Average flick and funny in bits , Ahmad Butt steals the show

[7/10 · 26 September 2015]

Aoa , just watched this flick on Eid 2nd day , after watching the trailer expectations were sky high but JPNA failed to fulfill all expectations . It was not that great but even not that bad too , some where in between average and good . It had few funny moments especially Ahmad Butt dialogs were very funny and rib tickling , every time he came on screen the laughter started and he kept us glued to screen but the rest of the cast was not up to the mark . Actally 1st half of the movie before interval was very nice and the plot was building up nicely but after interval the movie went no where a lot of characters ruined it with out giving away much information about each character . Especially Sohai's character in the movie came out of no where so plot definitely had some lope holes , so after interval every thing was happening so fast that it seemed Miss mash every where . The comedy was not at par with the Indian movies and all the people in the hall were forcefully laughing . One liners were quite good though . The movie also made some fun of critically acclaimed films like Waar , Bol , Main hon Shahid Afridi and drama pyaray afzal all references were used in different dialogs . The cast was very big . Humayun Saeed started well when he had serious dialogs but doesn't know ABCD of comedy , Hamza was good , Vasay was very good , Ahmad Butt was excellent , Ayesha Khan was OK , Sarwat was best female actor in movie , sohai was good , mehwish was just OK , Bushra ansari , javed sheikh and Ismail Tara did their part OK . Songs were very good especially Dance the party. Choreography was awesome too i mean places shown etc but dance in almost all songs was awful only Sohai and humayun danced a little bit well Ahmad butt also danced quite well in Khul Jaye Botal otherwise all the dances were totally crap . But still this movie is not a game changer it may do block buster business but commercially it lacked the power punch. It will look like a little baby in front of average bollywood comedy flick so Pakistani cinema needs to work hard on comedy movies and should come up with fresh scripts to give power packed entertainment. Some people may differ from my opinion it depends upon taste , any way nice gift for fans on this Eid . Overall 6/10.
