Actor in Law (2016)
Great feel good comedy
Actor in Law is really funny, not silly slapstick funny, but clever, sharp and witty funny. I haven't laughed as much since 'Jawani phir nahin ani'. If you enjoyed that film you will also love this film.
Some of the jokes may seem a bit specific to Pakistan and the Pakistan media scene but anyone who is glued to the numerous news channels with their sound bites and political commentary, will love how the movie presents a tongue and cheek send up of that whole media circus. There is a bit of melodrama but this is inevitable to bring the story to completion and for me it was kept to an essential minimum. Great feel good comedy. Definitely worth a viewing.
Janaan (2016)
Colorful and joyful celebration
My expectations of this movie were based on the TVs advert and I must say that based on this it did not disappoint. Could the story line and acting have been better-yes but if you want to have a pleasant few hours with friends and family it is fine.
Janaan is a colorful and joyful celebration of what we love about our Pakistani culture. The scenery is beautiful and it always lovely to see a film using local locations and showing the beautiful side of Pakistan. And I guess that is one of the reasons why I am forgiving of the films foibles and weaknesses, because it reminds me of a Pakistan I love. The dialogue is amusing and I did enjoy the role of 'Daniyal'. All in all a movie version of comfort food.
