Bereamic Awesome Movie
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
priyanka-17164 Wow. I loved watching this film. I wouldn't say it tackles a social problem or delivers a message exactly, the performances are far too moving and personal to be about anything other than the story of this mother and daughter. And that is an anecdote to how good the performances are. Extremely moving film it makes you feel what the mother is feeling during so many scenes. A must watch.
hamzaumer13111 I Watched this Movie with High Hopes and believed it would be a Good Movie.But My Hopes were crushed as it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen in Cinema.But what would you expect from a Pakistani Movie anyways.Pakistan Cinema is Too stale the Movies they make have depressing story lines,majority of them related to Extremism and issues related to Sufferings and Rights of Women in Pakistan.Now a Common Pakistani who already has no Real Entertainment besides Cinema would want to go to a Cinema to have a few Laughs and leave it with a Cinema,but movies like these make him Depressed .Dukhtar has a week plot,Very Poor Average Acting and not good Music.Plus the Camera work and Editing has been done in a very school boy manner.
isabeljack I was sitting tight for this motion picture. I believed that this will be the film as Shermeen Oboid Chenoi talks about this. In any case, in all honesty it is disillusioning on all fronts. On top of that it is all the more baffling that it is send as official chosen one in Foundation Honors from Pakistan for Outside motion picture. No plot, bearing as week (one can live with that as it is the first offering from Aafia however it is awful, genuine terrible) and it all has neither rhyme nor reason. Story meanders unexpectedly with defining moments so wayward that towards end it lost all. There is no acting. A genuine misuse of all the huge names in film. Additionally, throwing could have been something more,as Pakistani situation is worst about the women and due to poor governance and lack of education so in this circumstances this movie has brought a revolutionary changes in the people mind in Pakistan and most important and they put a great work on costumes etc which is i think they got from http://www.fashion2015-2016.com you can see their costumes in it and check their simplicity in their work due to their smart work thats why they got hit film in Pakistan
Atif Javaid So the Busan International Film Festival 2014 started with a rock. There are so many flicks being played and people are queuing up to buy the left over tickets. When I first started to scroll through the list of the movies that were going to come on at the BIFF I was pretty uninterested in all of them until I saw Dukhtar in the list. I have been hearing a lot of good things about this movie from my friends in Pakistan. I was surprised and mostly excited to find that the movie will be showing at the BIFF. The movie started of great. The cinematography was breath taking. The locations are memorizing and brought back memories of all those places I had visited few years back during my trip to Pakistan. The story was well penned and the characters were well groomed. I felt connected to them and understood their emotions. The story is very true to life and makes you want to sympathize with all the victims. I liked the fact the movie didn't drag for too long and it ended at good point, anything more than that would have been a more obvious cliché. Music of the movie was great. Songs composer Sahir Ali Bagga, has done a brilliant job at composing the songs. I am still humming the tunes after leaving the theater. Background score by Peter Nashel makes the hair at back of your neck stand up, of course in a good way. I am not going to talk about the overall plot of the movie, as most of you know by now what it is about. Overall the movie is a must watch! And why is it a good movie because at the BIFF after the movie ended the whole audience in the theater stood up and applauded. That was brilliant moment and if we were allowed to use cameras in the room I would have recorded that moment. Some Koreans thought it was an Indian movie, and before I could turn around and correct them, one westerner corrected them by saying, "I am sorry, but you are wrong. This movie is from Pakistan." Decide it for yourself. I loved it.
