10/10

Experimental blend of Pakistan TV Drama and native mafia flick........ Comic but dark, slow but thrilling, Odd but original.

Best movie so far among others which are pure commercial and "massaalah" flicks. I must say that none could portray better than Faisal Rehman, when it comes to a character who carries his moral values and family respect with criminal life. Kanebaaz is not 'bang bang' movie if you expect it to be so. It is more like a social drama about maintaining your limits. It is about knowing your radar. You will get lost if you will swing herder to get more. It is about taking rightful decisions in crucial moments of life. it is about vulnerability of loyalties and relations. Movie has one of finest scripts i ever saw. Muhammad Ahmad is not a new name if anyone remembers a PTV drama 'Aahan'. Similarly the humor is very apposite. I will look forward to see something new coming from Ali Sade as i loved his frames. I cant find anything in his direction to criticize. A breath of fresh air in Pakistani cinema, Proudly presentable to any non Urdu speaker viewer. I am not big fan of Hassan Uzmi but he was spot on and flawless along with Nimra Bucha.
