ShoMan is back but his movie doesn't match the standards set by his previous movies. Mahira Khan was fantastic with the role of Sara. She acted like a total badass as the script required. The role of Sultan played by Zarar Khan is top notch, he captures the essence of the character perfectly. Haroon Shahid was okay but his character could have been a lot more. The acting by other secondary characters(parents of Sara and Aami) wasn't up to par, their acting in some scenes was laughable. Shoaib Mansoor had a strong topic in rape but he didn't execute it well. Character development was zero for a 155 minutes movie, the characters basically stay the same throughout the movie except Aami which too looks forced. The movie seemed prolonged, adding bits which were unneeded. The good bit was the somewhat accurate portrayal of problems faced by rape victims from family, police and court and Mahira Khan. I had high hopes for this movie, but the script which started good turns into a desi movie crap (lots of songs, sheer stupidity by characters, substandard acting, unfair vengeance).
