Jinnah (1998)

The film is a reflection of the greatness of Muhammad Ali Jinnah

The film is very good and brings out the best about jinnah – a leader who sacrificed his home, family and love for his people. A must watch for every person who believes in freedom, equality and justice for mankind. I would recommend this film to every person, pakistani or not. Also show this to your children, to make them understand the true virtues of a gentleman, honest, brave and selfless leader. As Stanley Wolpert wrote in his book “Jinnah of Pakistan”, few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Muhammad Ali Jinnah did all three.

Whenever you feel low and doubt your capabilities, sit down and watch this great movie. It will make you believe that honesty, integrity of character and determination can work wonders.

Lucy (2014)

Unusual, interesting and highly entertaining

Normally I don’t write reviews but these movie differed so much from what people told me, I feel compelled to give an opinion. In fact, I expected a killer heroine who would beat her adversaries to pulp. However, I got an extremely interesting, unusual and highly entertaining story, that I found quite fascinating. Of course, it’s completely unrealistically, but the whole idea is quite funny and unusual. I generally like movies which manage to introduce new ideas or differ from the same old boring patterns (Iron Man 12, Final Destination 14, Transformers 8). Lucy does that. It’s just , well, cool. I absolutely enjoyed the Science Fiction aspects and seeing Lucy developing her powers was just pure gold. So if you don’t break into tears because the movie operated on ridiculous scientific premises, watch it and have fun

 It’s different. It’s interesting and it’s extremely entertaining.

Ramchand Pakistani (2008)

Harsh reality shown in polite manner

It’s a good movie; Based on the harsh reality, which was shown in a soft way. So as it could be watched by both Indians and Pakistanis without any discrimination.

Although few things were shown really very softly, for example, the jail life. But still it’s a very good movie considering the standard of Lollywood. Acting is good especially the acting of the Nandita Das as mother was awesome. Moreover culture highlight of Thar desert was also good, although it’s far more tough than what shown in the movie.

This movie resulted in creating healthy awareness and as per my info the governments of both India and Pakistan agreed to have the border wired (Except for Kashmir Region which is a disputed territory as per UN resolution) so as accidental crossing of border could be stopped.
