Storyline
Story of a boy (Noman Habib) who dreams to become Shahid Afridi finds himself down on luck when the only club he ever knew goes bankrupt. With no place else to go he discovers one last chance to save his club, his town and his dream. A cricket tournament coming to Sialkot which may be the club's last hope. But are they ready yet? A team of misfits with no facility and no coach, can they even qualify for the cup and face the highly skilled undefeated rivals who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths and every facility in their hands? With that question in mind they decide to take help from an ex cricketer Akbar Deen (Humayun Saeed), but Akbar has a dark past of his own. When fates collide and mysteries unfold, "Main Hoon Shahid Afridi" embarks on a journey of Mistrust, Betrayal, Love, Power and Unfulfilled Dreams. Written by UMER GULZARI

One step forward two steps back; Main Hoon Shahid Afridi is the two steps going in the wrong direction. Not that the Pakistani film industry shouldn't indulge in 'masala' films occasionally, but let's not follow the cheap Bollywood recipe when doing so at least. Trashy visualizations for songs and horrible acting need not be part of the hope to draw in the masses.
One of the most disconcerting things about the film was its social conscience. Yes it addresses inclusiveness, but it also reaffirms stereotypes; the evil white man. Do we need to stoop to Hollywood lows when it comes to including minorities and brand the only white cast-member so blatantly evil; he had to mock the deity!? It's a major disservice, especially since a large chunk of illiterates will be exposed to it.
Overall Main Hoon Shahid Afridi is a forgettable mess & one that I'd like to feel was a slight mishap for an industry on the rise.
