The Legend of Maula Jatt (2022)
Indian Jatt's review of The Legend of Maula Jatt
The Legend of Maula Jatt goes back to the basics with its revenge plot which is told in an incredible way. I went in hyped but unsure of how Punjabi dialogues would feel coming from non-Punjabi actors, but to my surprise I was not disappointed. The movie is nearly 150 minutes long but keeps you glued to the screen through and through. All of the actors have done justice to their roles and the director has payed a beautiful homage not just to the original Maula Jatt but to all the old "Gandasa" films in general. The action scenes form an essential part of this film and they are gorey but spectacular. The only very minor problem that I personally think existed was right at the end with a camera angle.
(SPOILER: I wish the director had chosen a wider shot with both actors in the frame when Maula kills Noorie at the end of the film rather than a close up of Noorie's face)
All in all the film is a must watch especially for those who can understand a bit of Punjabi. I'm amazed that the greatest Punjabi film of our times has come out of Pakistan and not India. Hopefully we would see more joint ventures between the two Punjab's with the trend picking up as of late.
