Amad Junaid Moor is creativity and expression at its best... It glues you to the screen as you try to take in the dialogue, the scenic landscapes and the music. The DOP is so well executed that I would watch the film mute just to enjoy the brilliantly composed shots. I watched it two times... the second time I deliberately tried to pick out plot and script errors but I was completely baffled by how complete this film is. There are no loose ends. With solid performances by the characters (Wahidullah Khan (Hameed Shaikh) and Ahsanullah Khan(Shaz Khan): the two male leads) this movie captivates the audience with its rich story and delivers an experience that goes right into the soul.The movie tells us about the corruption that has been eating the rail line system in Balochistan, Pakistan. It also talks about the corruption in ourselves with the characters of Wahid and Ahsan and how to trust in God and hope for a better tomorrow even though today seems bleak and dark.
Ahsan Ejaz Watched Moor yesterday and came back with a relaxing feel in my heart that Yes there are still people out there who actually know how to make films and give a tribute to someone, rather then making a 2 Hour TVC of their Sponsor by adding few cheap jokes and item numbers in it!I was just Mesmerized by the beauty and scenery the land of Baluchistan has and we haven't seen it for so long, Thank You Moor for Showcasing Out Beautiful Province To Us.The Screenplay, The Direction, The Cinematography, The Shots, The Framing, The Acting and The Music Specially made me Hooked to my seat till the end and gave me a lesson of inspiration to always look for what one should do and choose the right path and not fall for the tempting desires because it will make u comfortable but will not fulfill your soul. and the remorse will haunt you for the rest of your life.It was a great experience for me as it was a inspirational film, Thank you to its director sir Jami for reviving my belief that we could make good films in Pakistan.A Must Watch!!
alitabish The quality, the message, the beauty shown in Moor is just awe- inspiring! There wasn't anything i could point a flaw in. Even if there was I wouldn't want to! The cinematography, the screenplay, the sound everything was simply amazing. The actors did a great job, even the side roles. The execution of the film is just amazing. It unravels like a gem. Definitely my best cinema experience of our reviving film industry. Read somewhere that 'Moor is a gift for Pakistan' and i would say yes it IS!! I would say that it might a little ahead of its time for Pakistani Film in Pakistan. The Item number loving crowd will never be pleased with it. The hooting and chanting voices will not be heard in the cinema for Moor. Although you might hear a few sighs during the climax of the movie. A justified ending for a brilliant piece of art. Thank you Jami :)
Hamza Ashraf After watching Jami's O21, I had high hopes for MOOR because he doesn't follow the usual ingredients of a Lollywood or Bollywood movie. Surely, MOOR wasn't your typical Indian musical or a romcom. The basic story line is powerful, it deals with corruption in railways, neglect of government for Balochistan, moral degradation of society (particularly Karachi), lust of man for money and bonding within the family. What Jami failed to do this time was to create a steady momentum of the story. Movie seems to be a product of bad editing where haphazard scenes collide. The first 50 minutes seemed like a psychological thriller where a man is marred with the guilt of not saving his mother in his childhood. Also those 50 minutes could have been shown in a total of 15 minutes span. Scenes are shot in detail from an artistic point of view not from storytelling perspective. The emotional scenes are so long that they affect the whole feeling in it. The director failed to project the characters emotions. Dialogues seemed to be a rip off of an old moral story that mothers in Pakistan tell their kids and they were prolonged for no particular reason. You have got your railway corruption, backwardness of Balochistan and moral dilemmas being shown at the same time, nothing is wrong with it… but poor editing made it confusing for the audience to concentrate to all of it. The light background music wasn't effective during the dialogues as it should have been. Shots were too much zoomed in. There is hardly a scene where you see a character's full body or the environment he/she is in (apart from the outside shots in Balochistan). It was as if cameraman didn't knew how to zoom out. Maybe the director wanted to show the facial expressions in detail while a character's life is in turmoil but it was all too much. From an artistic directors' point of view, the shots are beautiful. But overall Jami failed to compile the movie to convey a heavy message. You have to assimilate more than 90 minutes to receive this message: Money is not real happiness, family ties are important, Pakistan (motherland) is to be taken care of by every individual and to always act morally.
