Will the movie be in Urdu or Punjabi?
Been waiting for almost 3 years. They said in 2016 it was almost done. Anyway, dair aaye durust aaye.
Love the "Gladiator" style of the movie soniya!![]()
Another legend of Punjabi movies Ali Ejaz passed away recently. He made many good comedy movies like Salla sahib, Dhee Rani, Sohra they Jawaai and Dubia Chalo. He was poor man's Munawer Zarif. For those who do not know Munawer Zarif- Hewasthe best film comedian to come from sub continent. Most people in India and Pakistan are still copying his style, even though he died in late 70s.
Is this the return of Gladiators or Maula Jatt. Not sure how these two completely different genres got mixed up and going by the trailer, doesn’t make any sense. Can barely recognize Fawad Khan. This looks completely bogus and crap to me. Sad, as apparently this is the most expensive movie ever made in Pakistan.
Well that's a good thing, a lot of actors in Hollywood and Bollywood undergo big transformations and look unrecognizable in some of their iconic roles.Can barely recognize Fawad Khan
From what I've read, this isn't a remake of the original so it's going to have a different story with some influences from the original. I think the gladiator-esque theme appeals to the current generation as most of us wouldn't relate to some old story set in rural Punjab with a bunch of uncles fighting.

Maybe they wanted a cooler Maula Jatt that would appeal to todays audience.If the goal was to appeal to fans of Gladiator or GOT then why bring Maula Jatt into it. Doesn't make any sense to me other than seeing it as a lazy marketing stunt. Should have called it something else like "Wehshi Derande" or "Jungjo Sipahi" etc
. Fawad Khan is so good looking, why waste his looks by hiding him under a mountain of long hair.
In any case, I wish this movie all the best. Pakistani cinema needs all the help it can get.

I don't get this lool, good looking actors in hollywood and bollywood have done huge transformations to get into a role including getting uglier to play a character. Fawad Khan isn't playing himself, he's playing Maula Jatt. That's what acting is all about.
Yes I realize that Fawad Khan isn't playing himself, lol. The transformation you are talking about usually happen in relatively serious and critically acclaimed movies, not commercial types like this one. Obviously the objective of the movie is to become a blockbuster, right? Then why not play to its strength. Fawad Khan could've played Maula Jatt with shorter hair. The original Maula Jatt was not known for his awesome mane. I guess the look goes along with some rugged warrior out of GOT or something like that, but he doesn't even look good in it. Even the fake long beard on Hamza Abbasi, he looks like a clown. It looks like a complete copy of a bunch of TV shows and movies. Nothing original about it.
Visuals are good. But hamza is looking like clown with that fake beard which could have been avoided. also not sure about fawad as macho action hero.
Christian Bale, Tom hardy etc had body transformations for Dark knight series which were commercial.
The Christopher Nolan Batman series was made with a commercial and critical sensibility. Plus packing on muscles to play a superhero doesnt really qualify as “body transformation” in my opinion. Perhaps if Fawad Khan had gotten ripped for this role, maybe then it would justify but he is just wearing a stupid wig, hardly counting as any kind of transformation.
It’ll be awful
I don't think it's fair to judge this movie using Hollywood as a baseline.
Who said I’m doing that?
So the legend that is Sultan Rahi, acknowledged by the Guinness Book of world records as the actor who has appeared in more than 700 movies is being honored by this B grade Gladiator knock off?
It would have worked better as a parody, which most of Mr Rahi's films would be categorized as these days.
From what I remember most conflicts usually started due to the stealing of a "behen ka dupatta".
Memories of Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi #Legends
Judging by the huge hype on social media, most people are not too concerned with the fact that this is not a faithful remake of the original, 90 percent of the films target audience probably have not even seen the original film.
I am glad that it is not an outright remake either as I do not think it would have worked out anyways. Its obviously highly stylised version like 300.
Pakistani films have been getting much better in the last 5 years and compared to the crap which was being produced 20 years ago this is a MASSIVE step up.
First of all movies are not made to honor people, that is not their purpose, their main purpose is to make money. Second of all, movies that contain gladiator fights are not necessary Gladiator knock off. Gladiator wasn't the first movie to feature gladiator battles. It really is unbelievable that this needs to be said.

Gladiator knockoff is harsh,
is it in punjabi?
that severely limits the audience
Was he the Pakistani equivalent of Mithun?So the legend that is Sultan Rahi, acknowledged by the Guinness Book of world records as the actor who has appeared in more than 700 movies is being honored by this B grade Gladiator knock off?

Dharmendra (in action movies) or Sunny Deol.Was he the Pakistani equivalent of Mithun?
Loving the defense of same posters that attack Bollywood lol![]()
Violent action movies seem to do well profit wise but these type of films must be kept to limit for good of society and to inspire good scripts and reflect the real issues affecting our population. Alas even Pak dramas have gone to direction shown by Indian TV with glamour and sass bahu storylines. Pak dramas were brilliant previous decades in terms of storylines, dialogues and acting. Only background music was poor and lack of budget meant make up was not always to the mark.
Trailer looks promising.In addition to Fawad,Mahira,Hamza was that Humaima ?My eyesight is deserting me
Indian drammas were good too, till 2000 even until then the saas Bahu was taken as a comedy (tu tu main main) it's o ly after daily soaps started catering to the house wives that it became different.
Right now it's another type where religious shows are very popular ..it keeps changing as needed..but there are many good online shows for others.
You cant limit entertainment, look at the amount of Super hero movies ,shows in West right now..

More in the mold of Rajnikanth I think.
Why is any one not talking about Mahira ?
She's nothing special. There's better actresses who could've played this role.
Funnily enough her stocks are higher outside of Pakistan than in Pakistan.
I mean amongst audiences dude.& yet she is in a high profile hot movie ???
You mentioned dupatta snatching.
That's classic Mithun for you.
