I am normally scared to walk into a Pakistani movie. The industry is struggling to find its way out of the darkness but I was pleasantly surprised with Chaly thay sath. The visuals were stunning and the music suited the overall mood of the film. I was happy that there were no forced scantly clad ladies dancing on item numbers. The actors did really well and at times I wished that more time was given to some characters than others. Like Adam who had very little lines, he came across as a cute lovable fellow. Behroz Sabzwari was another one I wanted to see more in the film the fact that he appears in the second half of the film felt kind of wrong to me, may be because I am such a big fan of Qabacha.
There was no bathroom humor or PG 18 moments which has become an easy thing to do in our movies. While I was watching the film I had one thought, how did the makers gather the courage to go against the tide and pull this off. Yes it has faults, there are places where the makers seems ambitious about some story angles and they would have been better off not doing them, but the industry would not have been better off if they had not done this. I hope that others will follow suit and not follow the trends of Bollywood. For me this is 10/10 and i am going again to see it.
