#Thora jee le (2017) movie#

We donвЂ™t need a committee to make India screen our films in their country we need one for quality control. Veteran actor Shaan Shahid must watch such films before tweeting about the screening of Pakistani films in India. Thora Jee LeВ can be categorised as a вЂdrawing room classicвЂ™ since it is one of those movies that is literally a family affair - made for friends and family. Just like the вЂcoolвЂ™ names for friends, we have dialogues starting with вЂњBroвЂќ and вЂњDude.вЂќ There is a scene in the film where Misha slaps Kaizaad and tells him that rich people think they can get away with anything - thatвЂ™s exactly how most of the audience felt about the makers of the film. Some of the friends were depicted as mature 20-somethings, while others came across as teenagers. In fact, he shouldnвЂ™t have been in the poster as he isnвЂ™t even a friend from the group! Ahsan Mohsin Ikram plays her possessive husband Azaad and all he does is shout and stare.

Her character had the most potential, but the bad script and direction pretty much ruin it. SheвЂ™s also the only one that doesnвЂ™t know that Kaizaad has feelings for her. Fatima Shah Jillani tries very hard to play the bubbly Bahaar but falls flat as does Ramsha KhanвЂ™s Misha, the only one in the group who is married. Salman FaisalвЂ™s character breaks the вЂfourth wallвЂ™ and addresses the audience directly which looks stupid because of his вЂbathroom-searchingвЂ™ antics. Kasim Khan as TC and Salman Faisal as Andy were quite annoying and came across as serious wannabes. He needs to decide whether he is an actor, model or singer because he disappoints in all. Rizwan Ali JaffriвЂ™s Kaizaad comes out as blank and tries very hard to act but fails miserably. In the first half, he is referred to as Party, while in the second he is called Pervez or Khan Sahib for no reason. LetвЂ™s talk about the actors whose career took a step back due to this amateur attempt - Bilal Abbas is a fantastic television actor and he should have thought twice before accepting the project, as it has put a dent in his reputation. And the film is so low-budget that the entire college sequence consists of a couple of shots of the premises and a graduation ceremony that only had six students in front of a garden, wearing caps and gowns. ThereвЂ™s a dead lizard which the friends have a вЂgreat timeвЂ™ with (the audience doesnвЂ™t). There were endless bathroom jokes that are intolerable even in stage plays these days.

There is a scene in the film where Misha slaps Kaizaad and tells him that rich people think they can get away with anything - thatвЂ™s exactly how most of the audience felt about the makers of the film. After every few minutes, the film changed its genre: from coming-of-age, it became a road-trip flick then suddenly there was a ghostВ (horror?) then there was a truth-or-dare game with no shot of the bottle they were using there was a confused one-sided love story that came before a speech on women empowerment and finally a vague attempt to have an ending. It seems that the script was written for one character and then the dialogues were distributed among the rest. The rest of the film then moves at a slow pace and concludes with a convenient вЂsix months laterвЂ™ slide. Things start to unravel and we realise our friends lead rather imperfect lives, especially since the trip to the farmhouse did not cure Party of his addiction.

His friends decide to take the вЂaddictвЂ™ to a farmhouse instead of rehab. Party (played by the talented Bilal Abbas) overdoses on drugs.

#Thora jee le (2017) movie#

This is supposed to be a вЂcoming-of-ageвЂ™ movie butВ 15 minutes in you realise there is actually no plot. Thora Jee Le is a very sad start for Pakistani films in 2017 ItвЂ™s been produced by prominent politician and television anchor Mehtab Akbar Rashdi (his mother) and the soundtrack and score is by Sohaib Rashdi (his brother) - although youвЂ™d have to search for the music which is practically nonexistent and what little there is, is nothing to be proud of. The вЂwriterвЂ™ in him decided to pen the script for the вЂdirectorвЂ™ in him and voila, he had a film. The Bollywood film is treated as a cult classic by a few and clearly Rafay Rashdi was вЂinspiredвЂ™ by it. Thora Jee LeВ has been partly inspired from Luv RanjanвЂ™sВ Akaash Vani. With great вЂoverconfidenceвЂ™ comes great responsibility and writer/director Rafay RashdiвЂ™s directorial debut fails miserably as there is no direction, no story and forgettable acting by the cast. ItвЂ™s one of those films that college students plan and then fail to execute properly because of lack of finances, logistics and skill. The first Pakistani film released this year, Thora Jee Le,В pushed the countryвЂ™s already ailing film industry back by at least 10 years.
