I was thinking of taking my mom at Jawani Pher Nahi Aani, but glad that I didn't. It is a comedy movie with a lot of short dresses and alcoholic drinks which really doesn't make it a family movie.
It does have really good story but a lot of dialogues, ideas and scenes were adopted from different Pakistani movies and dramas. Even the whole sequence from different movies were copied and replayed in this movie, which was defiantly an effort to make the film more comic, but it certainly was less creative.
Even though it is an amazing movie which gave me a lot of laughs, it does have lot of things that put this movie in the list of the worst movies of all time. First of all Mr. Baig should understand that sex doesn't sell at all. The movie portray really rich class of Pakistani society that doesn't care about their cultural values. About 90% of Pakistani people want to watch a movie with their families and it is really not suitable for a family to see four Pakistani guys dancing and drinking with girls in bikinis and Pakistani ladies wearing really short skirts. Mr. Baig must understand the reason for films like Khuda Kay Liye, Waar, Bol and namaloom afrad's success was that those record-breaking films had their own original stories, cast and they did not copy anything from Bollywood. One of the real strong points of this movie was acting especially Sarwat Gilani did fabulous job and her acting was really strong. The character of Bushra Ansari was good as well, but since they were copying many things from other movies, I would have liked it if they had portrayed her as Saima Chaudhry from Azar ki Ayegi Baraat because she is the Punjabi speaking wife of a businessman anyway in this movie. Camera angle and direction was really good but director used so much effects to reduce face marks and cuts that all actors look like plastic in close-up shots. Vasy Chaudry's writings are always impressive and this movie can be one of his prides. One of the scenes in which Hamza asks him to do something and what he does in reaction made me laugh so much that it brought tears in to my eyes. A total 10/10 to writer. I don't understand the logic in showing scenes where actors are smoking but a note that Smoking Kills is also provided on the screen. Like, if you really know that smoking kills, then why would you chose to advertise it or even put it in the film? It really doesn't change the story a bit if character is not smoking. Apparently, sensor board failed to realize that drinking also kills. If this warning goes with smoking then it should have went out with all the scenes in which characters drank as well. Overall this movie is worth watching but I would rather watch it after deleting all scenes that are not suitable in family sitting. They add nothing to the story. It really is a nice effort by Mr Baig and entire team. I would end it by saying it's a good movie with some flaws. BUT REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT A FAMILY MOVIE.
