CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
zulqarnain-ali Wow! I was blown away. We just watched this film today with the entire family in Dubai. I believe the scenery from Quetta and Strings music made it worth-watching in cinema. The movie's background music and tracks from singers like Javed Bashir and Rahem Shah make it work like a magic, as you are in awe of the unfolding story from the time the movie starts till the end. Everything from the cinematography to music was fantastic. It was an absolute privilege to watch this film. And it felt like someone put their hard work in making this film work. I think "Moor" sets the bar so high for upcoming Pakistani films that I don't think any film can do better than it in years to come. Also, I could've never imagined that a 'Pushto' song (of which I didn't understand a single word) could be so heart-touching. I am speechless and I look forward to seeing more movies like that from Jami and other Pakistani directors.Thank you Jami and the team.
Hira Khan Moor. Was the hype deserved? . The movie started well. The place was beautiful, camera angles were refreshing and different from those I have seen in previous Pakistani movies. Individual scenes were shot beautifully and care was taken of the little details. It was a poetic depiction of a story.Editing was loose at some places and some scenes were patched on very abruptly. Casting and acting was OK, better than previous Pakistani movies. Some actors did fit in their roles. Shaz Khan was OK in his role of Ehsaan but he did not leave any lasting impression. It was his father Hameed Sheikh playing the role of the station master, who did a good job. Samiya Mumtaz as usual, did justice to her role. Sara, the sister spoke beautifully in a voice coated with honey, though her accent was way off for a Baloch girl. Amber, his girlfriend was convincing in her small role. Ehsan's friend was good too. Another important role was Baggoo, whose character I did not find adorable, at all. Dialogues were average, nothing I would feel compelled to quote. But coming to the most important ingredient of a good film: the story, It was not gripping. At all. It was as boring as the trailer made it seem. I failed to develop any concern for any character, let alone an emotional connection. It was a third party viewing and analyzing. It also appeared as if director was trying to complicate a very simple thing. This is modern story telling but I personally think it is appropriate when the story has more to reveal. You can shoot a cat drinking milk from three angles but in the end if the cat is only drinking milk, it's boring. There's no twist to it. People are going to lose interest. I also don't know how the conscience of people suddenly wakes up from its deep slumber by one or two emotional situations. It is the director's responsibility to bridge the gap between the good and bad by a convincing turn of events. Character development was not as bad as in previous lollywood films but still. disappointing. Predictable. Utopian. Nothing new. Possibly the only thing I actually enjoyed about the movie was the background music with the beautiful shots of Balochistan. I wanted that to go on and on. (Admittedly, towards the end it was also because i wanted to avoid the movie) Some nuances: In one scene Ehsaan says after reading her mother lab reports that she was diagnosed with Broken heart syndrome. Seriously? One cannot read different interesting conditions on internet and diagnose the characters in his movie with it. No one is diagnosed with 'broken heart syndrome' on a lab report,as such. It's a retrospective diagnosis made on 'speculation'. It is a term coined for the very rare occasions when someone experiences severe heart conditions and there is no physical abnormality that explains it, and if the only explanation could be psychological stress or trauma . No one diagnoses it on 'lab reports'. What a piece of fiction! . In retrospect, would i want to watch this movie if i knew what it was like? No. I wouldn't. It is just another movie which made me feel that i sat through it to encourage local cinema. Was the hype deserved? No. If this was Pakistan cinema at its finest then they sure have a long way to go.
Muhammad Basit Masood No matter how much the local Pakistani industry hates the guts of Jami for being so blunt about the Commercial Masala flicks, They all are bound to acknowledge the Master piece made by Jami Mehmood . I think it would be absolutely unfair for reviewing the film alone, I would rather take the whole journey of Moor from the day its day rolled till its screening at cinemas and then pass a judgment considering all the odds the Team Moor had to face to make this Film Possible . In an Industry where all big Directors are going for safe play by adding Item Numbers and fancy Cinematography , Jami manages to to give them a knock out by hitting the arena with such a powerful screenplay and to remind you he is more known for his Cinematographic skill but Moor turned out to be a absolute surprise as the Film Narrative possessed the power of hooking every single viewer to their seat .Moor created a nostalgic aura through out the 120mins and then you move on with different daily activities but when ever you are in solitude you get nostalgic with the experience of Moor , its music , its dialogues, its pleasing landscapes . and when I think of it , i feel Jami has done his job .
Adeel Khan Moor is a film that is simply way ahead of time. One normally gets to see such films from a mature industry once in many years. Such films are normally made without taking commercial aspects into consideration because such masterpieces are crafted for achieving way more than just money. Seeing a film of this level from an industry that is trying to revive itself was an awesome experience and it is hard to collect enough words to express the joy and satisfaction I had after watching this masterpiece from Mr. Jami & his team. Honestly no local or Bollywood stuff that I have seen so far comes even near to this... Moor is truly an emotional masterpiece... It is a film that truly represents Pakistan & the things that represent us ... family, relations & land... This film has it all ... excellent direction and cinematography, outstanding story and acting (especially by Mr. Hameed Sheikh, great music & a great depiction of the beauty of Baluchistan.. Hats off Jami & team for a film that any Pakistani would truly want to be associated with Pakistan ... Yes it had few minor flaws as well but overall it is highly recommended for those who appreciate true drama & true story & are not too much into commercial films... Again this film is not for those who want some action, some dance moves with charming item numbers and enjoy stories that are straightforward and easy to connect. This movie demands patience from its watchers and only those will enjoy who have the courage to bear the story till the end. I will not be amazed if this movie fails to earn a lot of money but at the end success of such a top class masterpiece does not deserve to be measured in terms of revenues that it generates. Moor is successful because it has communicated the message that it wanted to convey in an awesome manner and this is the Real Success of the film.
