zulqarnain-ali Wow! I was blown away. We just watched this film today with the entire family in Dubai. I believe the scenery from Quetta and Strings music made it worth-watching in cinema. The movie's background music and tracks from singers like Javed Bashir and Rahem Shah make it work like a magic, as you are in awe of the unfolding story from the time the movie starts till the end. Everything from the cinematography to music was fantastic. It was an absolute privilege to watch this film. And it felt like someone put their hard work in making this film work. I think "Moor" sets the bar so high for upcoming Pakistani films that I don't think any film can do better than it in years to come. Also, I could've never imagined that a 'Pushto' song (of which I didn't understand a single word) could be so heart-touching. I am speechless and I look forward to seeing more movies like that from Jami and other Pakistani directors.Thank you Jami and the team.

Haris Mahmood I walked out a satisfied man from the theater today after watching Moor. The plot has substance, actors have put in powerful performances and the direction is great as well. Hameed Shaikh and Samiya Mumtaz have put in heart wrenching performances and poured their souls into the roles they have played. Also, the subject has not been broached anywhere as yet and is completely fresh. The breath taking scenery of Baluchistan, Pakistan is captivating to say the least and probably the first time on the celluloid. This is a must watch; a clear departure from the traditional crap that usually comes out of the sub-continent. Sets the bar very high for the new Pakistani (and regional) cinema. Hope the journey of Jami continues; I will gladly look forward to any future offering from this guy after Moor.

ssaad_y Went to watch Moor recently.. if there was a critics award in this part of the world it would definitely go to Moor in all categories . Fantastic acting by each and everyone.. Hameed Sheikh, Shaz Khan, Soniya Hussain, Ehsans business parter.. even the extra actors in the movie were so well versed with their script. Special mention to the old man who played Hameed Sheikhs house helper deserves accolades for great acting. There were a few seasoned actors in the movie with short roles but who gelled in & did justice to their respective roles .Upcoming actors/actresses should learn a thing or two from them. It's not the length of the role but the way you deliver it. Music was a treat to the ears.. courtesy Pakistan's famous 'boy band' Strings. Sound track itself and back ground music were given special attention. They didn't seem out of place anywhere. Script was crisp, story was simple but unique - an area where no one has ventured in our film industry. Cherry on top were the locations esp. In Baluchistan and how beautifully they had been shot. Never have I seen such camera shots in any Pakistani movie. Quite a few times with the long shots I felt I was watching a Hollywood movie. There is definitely hope for better and serious cinema!

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.
