Review
It is the most cliched and painstakingly slapstick comedy movie.
I liked Yasir Hussain and how his acting put an interesting twist to seemingly average story.
This one, did NOT.
Dino (Yasir Hussain) likes a rich girl Maheen (Ushna Shah). Maheen’s father (Mehmood Aslam) is a loud father who dictates his daughter about her life choices and wants her to marry a guy of his choice.
Maheen tells her father about Dino and cooks up a lie that he has a widowed mother. Dino and his friend come up with a plan to disguise of his own rich mother. Maheen’s father starts liking him as Durdana. The situational comedy fails to tickle your funny bones as the scenes are old and played out.
Of course, it has a happy ending
What did not work
Over the top loud dialogues & overacting
Overly troped characters (loud father, flirting mother, bhulakkad servant) and plot devices used.
If you still want to watch it, then this is the link.
Verdict:
Overall rating: 1.5/5 stars
