I finally watched the movie! Yes, I know I'm late but better late than never.
Truth is, we don't have any cinema's here (the ones playing Pakhory Badmaash don't count) so, I had to wait for a good print to watch it online and finally found one via google. (What would I do without it!)
Now, let's get to the movie! I read quite a lot of reviews, some good some bad, people called it a Chak De rip off, some went all crazy and stuff "OMG SHAHID AFRIDI!! EEE!" (Who said that? Not me, na-uh.) and others said La haula wala quwat. I, personally, loved it! Lollywood no longer reminds me of "LOL", We finally have some really amazing movies to take credit for. Bol, Khuda Ke Liye, Chambeli, Zinda Bhaag, Waar and of course Main Hoon Shahid Afridi, all these movies have finally restored our faith in Pakistani cinema. Let's hope they keep coming up with even more!
The movie was a complete package, drama, suspense, comedy, thrill, air punching at the Miandad moment, it was all there. Everyone played their characters really well. We really need to give our actors the credit they deserve. Humayun Saeed was brilliant through-out the movie, I didn't really like the rockstar version of him in the end though. Javed Shaikh, as usual, was really good too and as for a favourite, I'd definitely choose Maulvi, his dialogues in Pashto and Urdu had me laughing through-out! (not biased at all!) "Ye tumhare papa k liye" was hilarious!

Now, I'm no critic or anything, I'm just an ordinary person who watches movies to pass time and so found the movie to be very entertaining, which is the purpose of all movies. The music, however, needs some improvement, apart from "jera vi ae aande" there wasn't any song worth remembering. The acting could be better too but with what we have to work with, this was pretty impressive, way better than Moammar Rana and Shaan. Thank God we're moving on!
All in all this movie is a must watch for all cricket lovers, I'm pretty sure people have watched it already but for those who haven't, what are you waiting for?
