Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Hamza i believe the movie is quite average. doesn't make any sense. moreover the acting of all actors except mahira is very immature. Wrong emotions , even dances on songs doesn't make any sense. so movie is saying that you can be rude to parents and do not listen to them which i believe should not have been promoted.

bkureishi Horrible acting, mediocre script and predictable plot is what makes Ho Maan Jahan not worth watching. The opening musical score by Mira Khan is an amateurish effort at best, but that's only followed by a three other similarly amateurish scores that highlight the corners that were cut in the film. The script comes across as a mishmash of similarly horrible Bollywood movies such as Rockstar but without the musical muscle. Every dialog is predictable, right down to the costumes which have nothing cultural or Pakistani about them. The acting can best be summed up as horrible. Mira Khan is an industry veteran but seems to have lost her on screen charm. The male leads are even worse which makes her probably come across as the best. Conclusion All in All I'd say this is a bad movie. Its been hyped up and that's probably what the financiers of the movie saved up for i.e. to create hype. Fake social media accounts are used to create buzz and negative comments are deleted across various social media sites.

Zaid Abro Refreshing Start, immersive throughout, excellent execution and beautiful music.Ho Mann Jahaan had everything that a modern day movie should have. It was relatable, it was not far fetched and it all seemed honest. This was a movie based on the life of three friends from College, how their lives were interconnected and how events unfolded as time progressed. I know it all sounds like an over used and cliché idea. But the way it was executed, connecting with how the different facets of society and family structures in Pakistan operate did not allow the viewer to think 'cliché' even once. And the way it was panned out, it all linked back together like a well direction-ed, well steered boat. In the end Converging together with the initial message of the film, 'dosti'(Friendship).Ignoring the occasional flaw when the musician's fingers or hands were not moving on the guitar yet the tune was altering. The direction, the location and they way the film was paced was impeccable. It may have seemed a bit stretched a little before and after the intermission, but that effect was unnoticeable when fused with beautiful yet refreshing music.None of the characters seemed unnecessary, everyone on-screen had some part to play. And everyone played their part near perfect. Be it the evergreen Bushra Ansari, the beautiful Mahira Khan, Adeel Hussain or Sheheryar Munawar. Each actor had a distinctive character, no one seemed to be put on the sideline and none of the characters seemed fake. Which is extremely important because the actors need to believe in characters as a start to even have a chance of making the audience believe.The music was the undisputed star of this movie. Considering that the plot was largely based on music, the art itself. The film shined in the music that it brought forward. Be it the beautiful Balochi tunes, Atif aslam's Dil Kare, the pure entertainer Shakar Wanda or most importantly the classical Revitalized Zoheb Hassan and Nazia Hassan's 'Dosti'. This particular song may I add fit perfectly with the story line of the movie.Besides all the technical aspects of the movie. In the end what does it or breaks it for the viewer is whether he/she is able to 'feel' with the movie. Does the viewer walk out of the theater with a smile on his/her face? This movie was able to create that feel and that is why I loved this movie.This is indeed a wonderful start to the New Year and a wonderful first step of the year in the revival of the Pakistani Film Industry.4.5*/5*

Shafiq Ul Hasan Siddiqui Asim Raza's Ho Mann Jahaan is the most anticipated movie of 2016. The New Year will bring "massive-TV-audience" to cinema halls in Pakistan. Ho Mann Jahaan features the gorgeous Mahira Khan, talented Sheheryar Munawar and Adeel Hussain. The movie Ho Mann Jahaan was heavily promoted on social media and a huge series of multiple promotional events were also witnessed in different cities of Pakistan. Let's see what Ho Mann Jahaan has to offer to its viewers. Ho Mann Jahaan is a tale of 3 friends Mahira Khan, Adeel Hussain and Sheheryar Munawar. Their love and passion for music is intensified but they are always suppressed by the society and family from which they belong. What happens in the pursuit of finding their dreams is what Ho Mann Jahaan is all about. Performance wise, Ho Mann Jahaan, unfortunately does not belong to any actor. The performances are nothing like over the top or worth remembering. Sheheryar Munawar is a good talent to be utilized but in this very movie he is not in his finest form. He needs to work on himself. A few of post-interval scene from Shehryar are nice; and that is it. Adeel Hussain carries the character well but lacks the conviction in many parts. Mahira Khan is simply gorgeous. This could have been her most promising role, but she somewhere got carried away and did not look the character she performed. Music of Ho Mann Jahaan has received a mix reaction, some songs are melodious, some are promoted excessively to be heard and some are just average. The highlight of Ho Mann Jahaan is its "Cameo-Gang". Asim Raza has interestingly and smartly utilized multiple actors (read: stars) as cameo in the script and that's refreshing. The biggest let down of this movie is that it's editing is very lousy. It could have been a lot better and shorter with smart editing. Asim Raza as the director of the movie is dependable. It's a nice effort from Raza but the movie is sure to receive both applaud and criticism i.e. a mixed response. Ho Mann Jahaan is a family watch.
