Downrange (2017)
7/10
Very underated flick
7 December 2019
I usually avoid 5 rating movies but after watching clip of this on YouTube i thought to give it a go and man it didn't disappoints me.Don't know what with this low ratings but it definitely around 6.5/7 kinda movie. Cast is also looks good on screen specially the lead girl. i think why people gave it low rating is because of some time little childish acting by the leads otherwise it has good production value along with settings and execution all sorts of things. Perfect weekend night watch.

Naam Shabana (2017)
7/10
Watch it for Taapsee Pannu gripping performacne
14 November 2017
Well first of all let me tell you i am not much fan of Bollywood movies but after watching trailer of this movie i was intrigued to watch it and glad i did it. This movie has gripping first half and second half is little let down as story becomes too mainstream in second half. Having said that Taapsee Pannu gave one of his finest performance till date, her intensity throughout the movie was brilliant and specially top notch action action by her is a treat to watch. Its a must watch for its gripping first half and obviously for Taapsee Pannu.

The Wave (2015)
7/10
Engaging and enjoyable, start to finish.
3 February 2016
First of all i must say Noway is good at making movies. I have seen lot of there stuff and its always top notch and The wave is no exception. Although there is lot of disaster movies around but not quite often you such and engaging movie which keeps your interest from start to finish. Story is simple but the way director execute it man just awesome. All the lead character was good in movie but Kristen steal the show completely. such a powerful performance by him. Story revolves around a small Norwegian town, which got hit by tsunami and aftermath of it. Gfx was also good although a bit more destruction would add more plus to the movie bottom line is if you are fan of disasters movies or not it should be on your watch list.

Go watch it...recommend.
28 September 2015
Watched it last night at Cinepax multiplex and man what a laughter ride it was, being Pakistani movie i was expecting it to be some typical copy of some Bollywood flicks but man they took it to whole new level. The whole cast did some awesome job to pull a genuine Pakistani comedy especially the one-liners throughout the movie were top-notch. Although it has some flaws when it comes to costumes i mean what is the purpose of going to that road of Bollywood when you can do it far better without it. One thing which was surprising form me is its music, it was enjoyable with nicely choreographed dances. All in all JPNA is not your average Bollywood like chick flick its original Pakistani entertainment so grab your tickets and watch it.

Solid Movie with good performances by lead roles.
23 January 2015
I watched this movie with no prior knowledge not even watched a trailer so obviously the expectation were not that high and it turned out quite good movie.Although the story is same as like many other bank robbery movies but the performances by Adrien Brody and Hayden make this movie worth watching.The character of Adrien Brody was difficult to handle, no doubt in that but i think Adrien did good in that character, rest of the cast was OK. It could have do more good if they had advertised it more well i mean not even a trailer, seriously?? So if you are looking for some fun with solid performances from lead roles then don't care about negative reviews just go and watch it, you wont regret it.

What's wrong with Zero Dark Thirty?
9 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
What's wrong with Zero Dark Thirty? Too many things to list here. Unless you are blind to the factual and ground evidence, most of the crap in the movie was overblown and over exaggerated. Sure, it showed CIA torturing prisoners but it never really showed the true picture. It painted a very bleak picture of Pakistan, never cared to show anything positive. I didn't find it as offensive to me as a Pakistani but as a story based on true events, they should have at least stayed close to the facts. Seals came to Pakistan like a Ninja and do you really think each detail that they show in the operation was correct.It was also pretty funny how they crashed their helicopter. Did it all look believable to you. Than there was one totally ridiculous scene in which Jessica shouts out a slur in front of the CIA director , he doesn't even seem to care about it. Lastly, look at some scenes like the one that showed the guys in Burqa and the other one where they were showing excitement by the CIA female agent, who was going to meet a insider of Al-Qaeda, who ended up blowing himself. It is like they were trying desperately to gather sympathy for that woman so that they can make the story emotionally stronger.Zero Dark Shitty was a bad movie if we look at the facts shown in the movie. It barely deserves a 4/10 on facts alone. As a standalone movie, based on entirely fictitious accounts, it is pretty mediocre and deserve no more than 5 to 6. Also it is too much lengthy and has a run time of 2 and half hour, most of which ends up being boring unless you want to see Chastain. And if you REALLY want to so Chastain so badly, just watch her in Lawless and skip this movie.

Finally something good from Pakistan.
1 September 2013
Being huge fan of sports films i was waiting for this one and when finally it hits the theater, i watched it immediately and boy it was awesome.The film is basically sports drama,based on dream of a teenage to become cricket legend Shahid Afrid and how he struggles through lot of hurdles in order to achieve his dream that is,to become Shahid Afridi.Although the film is almost 3 hours long but you wont get bored throughout the movie which is huge plus for the film.The only drawback of the film is its average music its not that good but only OK.I think every sports lover should have to watch it and believe me you wont get bored.Final verdict 9/10....Its Awesome.

This movie is full of clichés
27 January 2013
This movie is full of clichés,seriously i was expecting something good and original from this but it disappointed me and many fans out there big time.Big cast doesn't mean that movie needs no story.Now a days Bollywood become so much stereotype that you can predict every time what happens next in these kinds of movies.Same type of dialogues with same type of emotional scenes, what are you thinking when you making this movie that people are still living in era of dil wale dulhaniye lajaiyengay..Give us some break from these kinds of stereotypes and bring some thing original and worth watching..Can you do this Bollywood for fans?

Atlast Bond Strikes me
27 January 2013
Well I am not a big fan of Bond Movies and i watched them when there is nothing else.And with same taste i watched this movie last night and man i was up for a treat.In my opinion best Bond movie ever.It has all the things a movie wants,good acting,direction,cinematography.The thing which strikes me is that this movie is full of surprises you keep guessing what comes next and every time it will prove you wrong which is the biggest plus factor in this installment of Bond series. And also Danielle Craig improving as a Bond day by day which he shows in this movie.If you are up for a nice Sunday flick then you should have to watch it.

The Watermen (2012)
2/10
Don't watch it...Simple.
22 January 2012
I have a chance last Saturday to watch it and man i regret it big time..being slasher freak i like these kind of movies even if they have low ratings but this was something beyond bearable...The thing which annoys you most is the main leads acting.They uttering dialogs without even a little bit of expression and soon you will realize that you are watching a teen comedy rather then a horror movie.I think the makers of this after watching turisates,ferryman and storm warning,mix them and end result is this film.If you want to spoil your Saturday night then this is a treat for you and if you don't then stay away form this.One word..HORRIBLE.

Rokkk (2010)

Simple story nothing less nothing more
21 March 2010
I watched it yesterday night and must say it was worth to watch for at least one time.It is such a kind of movie which you enjoy while watching and then forget it.Simple story of haunted house portrayed nicely with some good performances from lead roles. If you like some haunted movies then this is a good choice for Saturday night but don't expect some quality horror. Tanushree duta looking good in lead role graphically this movie lacks professionalism and most of scenes inspired from grudge series which makes it some kind of ordinary tale. Story involves young couple came to new house on their wedding anniversary and some ghost game starts with them. In short it is a simple story of a haunted house which is good for Saturday night.

Red Sands (2009)
Keep your interest all the way.
4 February 2009
I just watch this movie and i thought its not bad much underrated movie but worth watch.Its mixture of horror plus thriller sequences.If you are fan of military movies with ghostly touch then i think it is treat for you.Writer came with fresh and new idea direction is also good.I think actors do their job well. A military mission sent, to set base camp in the heart of desert went horribly wrong when a young girl visits them.I think you must give it try on Saturday night.If you are bore of b grade movies then just give it a try.Its not based on afghan or Iraq war like so many other movies in the market but a story with fresh and new idea.The cgi techniques are good it could be better but i think with the budget director have.he make worth of it and came with the movie which i must say not bad,like many other low budget b grade movies.If you are free on Saturday night then give it a try.

Go for it.Its really fun
21 January 2009
I think it is the best horror movie of recent times. very much underrated movie but worth watching. scares scenes are great, specially acting of lead girls are good. This movie has all a true thriller movie fan can demand.Three girls with connection from childhood trapped in a building with a killer on a run.I think director manage it well. And this movie does'nt deserve to go direct to video.It is much better then that.If u following movies for quite some time then u must see the difference between a b grade movie and this great flick.One thing i think u must say after watching this movie that u don't waste your money.I recommend it go for it.Its really fun.
