Moor (2015)
Way to go Jami & team Moor !!
Jami is one of the brightest names to come out of Pakistan. Last year, his film Operation 021, which tackled the theme of terrorism, won wide acclaim and praise. The supremely talented storyteller is back with another bold and hard-hitting effort called Moor, which tells the multi-layered story of Wahidullah, the station master of Khost railway station, who is forced to sell off the railway infrastructure due to political pressure and financial benefits. On the other hand, his son Ahsanullah Khan moves to Karachi, and finds himself entangled in a series of life changing events. Moor makes you peep into the lives of a family living in Balochistan, making us aware of the predicament, the anguish, their determination to survive against all odds. Moor shocks and stuns also because of the sub-plots in the plot line and the twists and turns in the story. Of course, I wouldn't like to reveal the details and spoil the fun of watching this brilliant fare, but I'd like to add that one has rarely witnessed such themes on the big screen especially in Pakistan. It serves as a wake-up call for the orthodox film makers to think out of the box and come up with path breaking stories. Admiring MOOR and not appreciating Jami would be doing a great disservice to the individualist film-maker. He deserves brownie points for not just choosing a completely offbeat subject, but also handling it with aplomb. That's not all, for Jami has extracted wonderful performances from the principal cast. The soundtrack of the film is done by 'Strings' and lyrics are penned by Mr. Anwar Maqsood. Some big names which include Javed Bashir, Strings themselves, Rahim Shah and Meesha Shafi have lent their vocals and made it the most remarkable music album of a Pakistani film so far. Talabgar, Eva, Jogiya and Gul Bashri are the pick of the lot and unlike other movie soundtracks; this one will surely have a long shelf life. MOOR's cinematography is another highlight of the movie. Breathtaking locales of Balochistan have been captured like never before. The awe- inspiring beauty of this part of our country simply blows away the audience. Each and every shot is done with so much detail and perfection that it looks like a beautiful painting. Moor, undoubtedly is by far the best piece of work by any Pakistani film maker. Hats off to Team MOOR.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE NEW FACE OF THOUGHT PROVIKING PAKISTANI CINEMA AND IF YOU ARE TIRED OF MASALA FLICKS WITH MINDLESS COMEDY, THEN THIS IS THE FILM TO WATCH PEOPLE> MUST, MUST WATCH!
