As much as I like to and want to support the Pakistani cinema being a Pakistani myself, however I have also been a cinema goer and have been exposed to a lot of international work and cant help critically analyzing the direction, cinematography, script and acting in reference to the genre. I cannot begin to describe the feelings I went through while watching the cinema; it varied from being hopeful (for Shaan had some tall claims), excited (to see some seasoned actors; Nair, Nadeem, Shafqat Cheema), disappointed (poor Dubbing, poor acting, weak storyline and forced romance), ashamed (CGI sequences and editing; cant believe I'm watching something like that in 2022), shocked (English dialogues and No Urdu subtitles, F bombs, gore, noticeable stuntmen, female lead's choice of clothing to name a few), disinterested (who cares why the journalist is corrupt and its unnecessary justification), irritated (flash sequences in an attempt to look cool, another movie in Istanbul?)
The movie had all the elements, if treated right, to make it one of the most epic and interesting movies. However every aspect failed miserably.
My suggestion to Shaan- stick to acting!
