Give this movie a chance!!

[mbrizvii · 7/10 · 4 July 2023]

Before categorizing something as "Cringe," it's essential to take a moment to delve into the various components that make up a movie.

Acting: Shehroze and Syra effortlessly embodied their characters, convincingly portraying their youth and distinct personalities. Notably, the supporting cast, including Arwa, her mother, and Maani, also delivered excellent and entertaining performances, complementing the leads perfectly.

Direction: The direction of this movie skillfully evoked the essence of a musical, reminding of movies like "Janeman."

Cinematography: The cinematography in this film deserves special mention as it served as the standout element, a visual treat. Every frame added an extra layer of beauty and depth to the storytelling.

Songs: Undoubtedly, the biggest strength of this movie lies in its songs. Beautiful notes added an enchanting dimension to the film

Story: This movie beautifully captures the essence of young summer love, staying true to its thematic core. It effortlessly creates a feel-good atmosphere, embracing the genre it represents. It is important to note that the film does not aim to reinvent the concept of love but rather embraces it with authenticity.

Criticisms surrounding the movie's perceived "toxicity" seem unfounded when compared to the acceptance and appreciation that viewers often give to the toxic and abusive relationships on television. The unlikely hero winning the girl is a classic narrative element, and while not everyone may agree with every aspect of the story, it is crucial to appreciate the craft and effort that went into bringing it to life. By supporting Pakistani cinema, we contribute to its growth and success, ensuring its longevity.

I applaud the director and the entire team behind this movie for their exceptional effort and finesse. It is definitely one of the few good ones coming out of Pakistani cinema.

Pathetic awful

[mahjabeenahamed · 1/10 · 2 July 2023]

This is the most pathetic movie i have ever seen in my lifeno social values no moral values no ethics.

My 👏👏👏 to the story writer dialog writer what in the world one can sign up so this type script.

This is represents all thi worst things a teen ager can do to sabotage his own life and the life of the one he truly love.ufF No logic was there.

If you don't get your love you can do every worst possible thing with your loved one and its okay because if a hero can do this you can do it too what they have promoted.and i don't know how and why our sensor board approved it!!! DON'T WATCH WITH KIDS.

Zero star rating

[kashf-95523 · 1/10 · 8 July 2023]

This movie made me absolutely furious. It's a pathetic attempt at a cheesy filmy love story. Couldn't even do that right. All characters from A to Z are loathsome. No moral values whatsoever. I wouldn't recommend watching especially with your kids. I wish I could get these hours of my life back. A horrible watch.

Characters need to be made lovable and have at least some good qualities. However this movie was hell bent on making the main characters' only good quality eachother. The plot seemed to be written by a 13 year old. The starting seemed to be good but each minute got more and more difficult to watch. I wanted to enjoy this movie but the movie refused.

Extremely disappointed

[beenishusmani · 1/10 · 2 July 2023]

Pathetic story line ... I hope we grow up mentally and start showing better stories to our younger generations. Girls normalising relationships with boys in College live and then leaving them for rich suitors is old mindset. Making it worse is the understanding that we can involve so many people in our stupid decisions and then last minute turn down proposals making it all look so normal.

The most annoying point was when the boy turned around and did everything to give the love of his life a bad name only so he can get her. I don't know when will we come out of this mindset that disrespecting others is acceptable, ruining someone's reputation is an outstanding idea. When will we show boys actually being a gentleman.

Waste of time and energy.

A pleasant watch

[sbtkmdyc · 10/10 · 3 July 2023]

Everything about the movie was so good. Loved the actor's work and it was so beautifully shot. The music of the film is outclass. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful love story.

The storyline is predictable, but the chemistry between the actors is undeniable. Overall, it's a fun and lighthearted movie that's perfect for a night When praising a good romantic comedy movie, I usually focus on the chemistry between the actors, the relatable storyline, and the humor. I might say something like, "The actors had such great chemistry on screen, I was rooting for them the whole time. The storyline was so relatable and had me laughing out loud. It was the perfect mix of romance and comedy, and I couldn't stop thinking about it after the credits rolled."

A Good Watch

[aanuarif · 10/10 · 3 July 2023]

Babylicious is one of the finest films of this year. Zabardast comedy, nice songs, beautiful locations, good cast, and above all - a stellar direction by Omar Essa. Kudos to everyone involved in the film. Actors did a wonderful job - all of them. Shahroz, Syra, Adi, Mani, Sabeena, Shafqat were a joy to watch. Not even for a single second, you would get bored of it. It is that good. I watched it with my family and everyone was hooked to the screen till the climax. If you want comedy, romance, drama, and action - this film has it all. A huge shout out to Waqar Zaka for playing his part in giving us good cinema.

Captivating Music and Stunning Visuals: A Milestone for Pakistani Cinema

[cookiemonster-85534 · 10/10 · 4 July 2023]

In a country where many toxic and disturbing dramas (you know which ones) break records and are praised, "Babylicious" doesn't even come close to being called "cringe" or "toxic."

With some adult and silly content in a few scenes, it does justice to being called a romantic comedy. It was never meant to be a moral documentary where you would expect practicality or life lessons. It's a chick-flick, so if that's not your favorite genre, I wouldn't recommend it. But don't go into the cinema expecting a life-changing moral lesson.

It's a love story, predictable like every other drama currently airing on our channels. However, it's enhanced with melodious songs like "Mann Ranjhan" that will hook you, and a banger like "Ghazab Kuriye" would be a perfect addition to your Mehendi playlist.

The entire movie is beautifully shot with scenic moments transitioning between Bahrain and Pakistan (you can't even tell the difference!). That's the magic of stellar direction and cinematography.

Lastly, the acting deserves special praise. This is Shehroz's best performance so far, portraying the young, careless, and innocent Omer who is hopelessly in love. Syra gracefully portrayed her character as well, and the chemistry between the two was exceptional. (And no, please don't bring the personal lives of the actors into this!). And let's not forget, Mani proved to be a great entertainer in the movie!

The story of an unlikely hero winning the girl is a classic element that many people enjoy. Even if not everyone agrees with every part of the story, it's important to appreciate the hard work and talent that went into making it. By supporting Pakistani cinema, we help it grow and succeed, ensuring its future.

I want to give a big shout-out to the director and the entire team behind this movie for their amazing effort and skill. It's definitely one of the best films to come out of Pakistani cinema recently.

Total entertainer

[vyacjmj · 10/10 · 4 July 2023]

After a long time, this is a total entertainer! The cinematography is fantastic. Each scene is shot so beautifully. So rare to see such visuals in Pakistani movies. If there's one reason why you should watch this movie, let it be for the stunning visuals. Whoever the cinematographer is should be very proud.

The actors, besides looking beautiful, have done a great job portraying these characters. The supporting cast has also done a great job.

The story is a perfect rom-com which leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy. I would definitely recommend watching the movie. It's a fun watch for the summer!
