To Strike (2013)
7/10
WAAR - the most important movie..
27 October 2013
Since i first saw the trailer of this movie i knew it will be massive.. not because it was based on true events,not because it has Shaan, Ali Azmat, not because it was directed by Bilal Lashari but specifically because of the subject of this movie, it was not just an important one but a delicate one too and had to be handled carefully and tell you what it was not just handled carefully but beautifully too..

Acting,direction,dialogues,cast,music,editing,cinematography everything was just too good, halfway through the movie i had to remind myself that i am watching a Pakistani movie just because i have never seen such spectacular aerial shots and breathtaking camera work in a Pakistani movie before.

Everyone justified their roles, two thumbs up to Ali Azmat,Meesha Shafi,Hamza Abbasi and Ayesha Khan.A very strong performance from Shamoon Abbasi too.

and Shaan wowww,i think now we should all understand why is he in almost every Pakistani movie these days.. I dare say Pakistan film industry does not have a better actor / personality than him at the moment..

Just one little thing that bothers me is that the use of English language (in some scenes) in the movie was not all that necessary particularly because this is the movie which should reach every Pakistani and i guess a complete Urdu movie would be a lot easier to understand.

Finally, i would rank it 8/10. and urge you all to go and watch it, i can assure you that you will come out satisfied and proud.

Thankyou Bilal Lashari what a wonderful thing you have done for Pakistani Cinema and not just that, you have also shed light on a very important aspect of war on terror in Pakistan in a very charismatic way.A big well done to you and your team. Pakistan Zindabad.
