Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
UmaiR AhmaD Jalaibee is story of two gangsters who are trying to sort out things between them and their former boss. Meanwhile their ex boss is kidnapped and they got linked with it. That's brief story. Director tried to make it suspense thriller but did not succeed well in this regard some twist were unpredictable though.humor was bored and did not shine. Acting was bad over all except sajid hassan and adnan jaffar. character development and script was badly handled.so many loopholes in story. Characters were not even using common sense. direction failed miserably in some scenes director failed to portray what he actually wanted to for instance where danish killed jagga that scene was badly written and executed. Rabeeka failed to leave impression of good acting she seemed artificial it could had been much more better if there was a good script.I gave it 5 because as Pakistani film industry is quite new. This is kind of film which is not remembered even after few hours.
aashikhan I don't regret giving a chance to 'revived' Pakistani cinema. Even though I wasn't sure. Jalaibi is excellent movie full of entertainment, suspense and thrill. Kept me hanging on and left me wanting more!The movie conveyed strong message: avoid at any cost, short-cuts, greed and jealousy. These things get you in a far land called nowhere.
yasin ali Jalaibee is undoubtedly the best movie to come out of Pakistan. It tells us that there are no shortcuts in life and shows how greed can destroy the closest of relationships. The ability of the movie to be an entertainer and still delivering a message is quite brilliant. The direction and the cinematography is inspirational. The soundtrack is great as well. The background score, being good mostly, fazes out in places into something that fails to connect with the scenes. But we cant judge a movie on the score only. Ali Safina is the star of the show. His acting is so good that one can completely relate to whatever situation he finds himself in. The other star of the show is Mr. Yasir Jaswal himself. Overall I'll give it 10/10. A great effort by Mr. Jaswal. Well done!
morrison-dylan-fan After seeing the OK 2013 Lollywood Action Thriller Waar,I was pleased to hear that another mainstream Lollywood film was being made.With the last news that I had read about the movie being that it was having facing serious cash troubles during production,I was shocked to receive a call from a friend a few days ago,who revealed to me that Jalaibee was going to come out in 3 days time!,which led to me getting ready to take a bite of Jalaibee.The plot:Getting caught up with owing a large debt to underworld gang The Unit,best friends Billu and Bugga decide that the only way they can repay their debt is if they enter the world of dirty money themselves.Whilst the pals casts their eyes across the city for cash,a recent election has led to talks of a coalition running the country,which leads to a powerful underworld leader deciding to kidnap a leading politician,in order to get his hands on some sweet cash. View on the film:Despite Pakistan being an extremely conservative (big C) country,the screenplay by writer/director Yasir Jaswal takes a rather daring approach in unleashing a bleak Neo-Noir world,with Jaswal delving into the dirty political games of the country's leaders,and the burning hot strip clubs,brothels and gambling houses that the country's underworld leaders plan their next attacks.Named after the popular Middle Eastern sweet Jalebi,Jaswal delivers each twist in the plot with a precise manner,which leads to a superb,down-beat ending.Starting the title with the criminal and politician threads at a distance,Jaswal gradually criss-crosses the two sides,as money & power stars to seep in and corrupt both worlds.For Billu and Bugga rise to power in the underworld,director Yasir Jaswal and cinematographer Mo Azmi use neon reds and smoking yellows to create a simmering murky atmosphere.Blending into Billu & Bugga's underworld,Jaswal and Azmi give the decaying political world an elegant crystal clarity,which gets punctured with expertly handled,ultra-stylised slow motion flashes across the screen,which strike the movies darkest moments with a real force.Entering the title as a loyal team, Danish Taimoor and Ali Safina both give great performances as Billu and Bugga,with Taimoor and Safina giving the relationship a comedic playfulness which gradually fractures,as Billu and Bugga find cold hard cash to sink them both into a ruthless Neo-Noir world.Striding across the screen in a slick suit, Wiqar Ali Khan gives a very good performance as Ali,thanks to Khan peeling away Ali's ladies' man charms,to reveal a brutal Film Noir loner,who has his eyes permanently fixed on gaining power,as Ali takes a bite out of a tongue-twisting piece of Jalaibee.
