#BALU MAHI REVIEW MOVIE#
The movie started at 9.45 PM and most people left by intermission at 11 PM due to the media premiere being held on a weeknight. The lead cast arrived well past 9 PM, which is mostly because Ainy Jaffri was not feeling well enough. Ushers were even stopping the other major celebs who had been invited to the premiere from entering the theater. The movie was only given 1 screen and people were almost stampeding to get seats. Congratulations to the entire team.Īside from the movie, the premiere was horribly mismanaged. #Balumahi turns out to be an amazing film. Bilal (Osman Khalid Butt) is set to let the love of his life escape from her wedding but unfortunately, he ends. Except for the technical glitches that you can see in camera settings, you still feel engaged to what is going on in the movie. Published on : FebruPublished by : Nabeha. IRK Films – the production house behind the recent hit ‘Janaan’ – also appreciated Balu Mahi: Balu Mahi review: A bollywood copy fails to rise above its shiny surface. However, it may suffer due to the recent uplifting of the ban on Indian movies. February is the perfect month for this out-of-the-blue romantic tale and it will likely be a success. Mahi is a somewhat relatable character, but unfortunately OKB’s Balu is not.
#BALU MAHI REVIEW FULL#
Balu Mahi is full of twists and turns, beautifully portraying the city of Lahore with bright vivid colors. The Pakistani audience which is in dire need of a good rom-com will definitely love this fast paced movie. Bechaniyaan by Sahir Ali Bhagga and Afshan Fawad.The title song is the first one to be shown in the movie and it literally comes out of no where to shake you up. The soundtrack is amazing and Pakistanis have always excelled in this aspect. The songs are catchy and well placed throughout the movie, to avoid boredom. The cinematography is pretty good, aside from the close shots in the first half. Balu’s Dado, played by Durdana Butt is feisty and adorable and cares fiercely for Balu. However, Sadaf Kanwal truly shines in this movie with her seductive role – but then again, because she is a model, she is well suited to it. Ainy Jaffri’s portrayal of Mahi is okay – she’s good in some scenes and off the mark in others. Young Pakistani men – even those who have been abroad – just do not have the guts to stop a wedding and run away with a bride whom they have never even seen before. He’s funny with his delivery of punchlines, but unfortunately, his character is just not believable. AJ: At first Mahi sees Balu as just a means to an end, but eventually as the story progresses and we see Balu open up about himself, his experiences and hope & dreams, she sees him as a fellow. What really brought the movie down is OKB. The movie starts off seemingly inspired from Jab We Met with hints of Bachaana and Karachi Se Lahore. This ends in Mahi going back to her family and Balu getting beaten up to within an inch of his life. On the run, they come across different people and landmarks of the city, discovering new things about the city and themselves. What ensues is a typical cat and dog chase with musical numbers (of course), Balu and Mahi make their way through the city, while trying not to be caught. Mahi calls up her cousin Sharmeen for help – enter the gorgeous Sadaf Kanwal – who betrays Mahi and sends their family to her location instead.
Once they run away and Balu comes back to his senses, he wants Mahi to go back home, but she insists on staying away from her family.
The Plot:īilal aka Balu (Osman Khalid Butt) shows up at his ex-girlfriend’s wedding to express his undying love for her – but at the wrong wedding! The bride Mahi (Ainy Jaffri), who is tired of being caged up by her family, now thinks it’s a good idea to make a run for it.
So quit now, if you want to see the movie for yourself. If you want to know which scenes have been chopped, go watch the movie one more time to see if it makes it better.Īlso, the chopping just makes us wonder why the makers would bother editing the movie if it's a box office success like they claim it to be.Before you go any further, the rest of this review is full of spoilers. Now, this is the first time that we have seen this happen. When a young man crashes the wrong wedding, the bride seizes the opportunity to make a run for it and together they attempt to evade her overbearing grandfather.
