The Pakistani audience which is in dire need of a good rom-com will definitely love this fast paced movie. Bechaniyaan by Sahir Ali Bhagga and Afshan Fawad.The title song is the first one to be shown in the movie and it literally comes out of no where to shake you up. The soundtrack is amazing and Pakistanis have always excelled in this aspect. The songs are catchy and well placed throughout the movie, to avoid boredom. The cinematography is pretty good, aside from the close shots in the first half. Balu’s Dado, played by Durdana Butt is feisty and adorable and cares fiercely for Balu. However, Sadaf Kanwal truly shines in this movie with her seductive role – but then again, because she is a model, she is well suited to it. Ainy Jaffri’s portrayal of Mahi is okay – she’s good in some scenes and off the mark in others. Young Pakistani men – even those who have been abroad – just do not have the guts to stop a wedding and run away with a bride whom they have never even seen before. He’s funny with his delivery of punchlines, but unfortunately, his character is just not believable. What really brought the movie down is OKB.
The movie starts off seemingly inspired from Jab We Met with hints of Bachaana and Karachi Se Lahore. This ends in Mahi going back to her family and Balu getting beaten up to within an inch of his life. On the run, they come across different people and landmarks of the city, discovering new things about the city and themselves. What ensues is a typical cat and dog chase with musical numbers (of course), Balu and Mahi make their way through the city, while trying not to be caught. Mahi calls up her cousin Sharmeen for help – enter the gorgeous Sadaf Kanwal – who betrays Mahi and sends their family to her location instead. Once they run away and Balu comes back to his senses, he wants Mahi to go back home, but she insists on staying away from her family. The Plot:īilal aka Balu (Osman Khalid Butt) shows up at his ex-girlfriend’s wedding to express his undying love for her – but at the wrong wedding! The bride Mahi (Ainy Jaffri), who is tired of being caged up by her family, now thinks it’s a good idea to make a run for it.
So quit now, if you want to see the movie for yourself.
