Maalik (2016)

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I was going to rate this film 7.5-8 based on direction and story as story is not entirely original, we have seen many films from other countries in the past where one hero rises and raise a voice against the corrupt leader and brings justice in unlawful way but still story telling and his direction is unique but some action scenes could have done better or there was no need to jump and shoot, you don't need that but considering Aashir's film directorial debut I will say it's a well made film still it wouldn't get a 10.The reason I gave it a 10 is that it has been banned by the government, people are literally fed up seeing corruption everywhere, rich is getting richer who is getting away with anything and poor is getting poorer, being abused, no justice for them. One scene in the film where this rich family kids abuse this Pachto maid who works for them as she can't understand English the word "MILK" made me feel sick as growing up there I have seen this how we treat our maids and servants there which is inhumane absolutely no need for it, sadly I have done it myself when I lived there and I was young which I regret but why rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer. Why? open mafia political system in the country, so called democracy, one political mafia family (Bhuttos) from Sindh takes over then next turn is other family (Nawaz) which is from Punjab they take over both come and rob the country as much as they could in mafia style, starting with rigged elections as it is a poor country majority of population is poor, small percentage is rich. One vote all it cost is one time good meal, get them chicken korma they will be over the moon instead of their daily daal (lentils) or some vegetables and yes that poor person will give you the vote. Government begs money from US and UK, take billions of loan and it goes all in the family's pocket.Conclusion: This film shows a small part of corruption in our society, yes I am saying small as our country is so infested with corruption that it makes it a small part. This film's a cliché but this is all happening, it's all true, this country is going back and back as most of countries are moving forward but it is going backward, people are turned against each other based on stupid reasons like cast, religion so corrupt people can divide and rule. People need to wake up. I am glad there are movies made on real issues thanks to Shoman who started it all. I watched this film on YOUTUBE I wish I would have gone to cinema to watch it if it is released in the UK I would go just to show my support, it is one of finest film made in Pakistan. I would definitely recommend to watch it.

DearsI strongly suggest to watch this movie, the best movie Pakistan ever made. Where the movie has criticized the problems of common people. Simply it has given a strong message that justice delayed justice denied. Further it shows how influential people take unnecessary advantage of their positions and overcoming the law. Simply its is shown in movie that Few corrupt rulers can get the whole country in crises. Kindly bring more movies like this and revive the lost cinema of Pakistan.Of course salute to Pakistan Military forces due to still Pakistan is surviving. Regards

The movie is based on reality and I admired this movie. i think it is the most bravest step from Pakistan film industry.Pakistan is country where live most of people without clothes and even do not have enough food to eat and fulfil there basic needs. Therefore, the rich people use poor people for their benefits mostly illegal. This movie show the reality that the riches are making non sense and eating Pakistan by doing corruption. Sindh is Pakistan most famous province but the politics of that province is very crook and cruel. They behave like wilds. They even do not know the basics of politics. They Miss use the politics for their personal benefits. This Movie is very close to all the real events happening in Pakistan. Solute to ISPR and TEAM MAALIK. Thanks

salute to "ASHIR AZEEM" . this is such a great movie with great story . cast is so perfect no body can stop himself standing and clap for it. no adventurism or stupid jokes. not even close to third grade formula movies. its close to perfection. i remember dhuwaan was a greatest drama. people cant forget it and now this movie will make the same impact. ashir did the best job in both roles , as young and old. sajiid hasssan showed again he is legend. he did small part with such big impact. the punjabi security guy is so cute i loved his accent. such a beautiful message to increase interstate relations. we are one but we don't try to meet each other.ashir proved its not necessory to add useless songs and jokes, story is not completed i think. i request you to continue on next project, thanks for doing such hard work . must watch movie for all
