Cath Clarke Guardian It's somewhat stiffly acted by non-professionals, and its earnestness might leave you with a hankering for the sly humour of mumblecores. Rated: 2/5 Dec 2, 2010 Full Review Simon Kinnear Total Film A laudable but laboured twist on slackerdom. Rated: 2/5 Dec 8, 2010 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times The pacing is sometimes overly languid, the script often ponderous and the performances decidedly mixed. But this knowing drama is undoubtedly a laudable effort. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Plot is a little slow but an interesting perspective on life in Pakistan. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't believe I watched this whole movie through. Boring and not much going on. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I got to know about horror movies. Well, this film is a horror of a movie. Shallow, very pretentious and especially VERY poorly acted and directed. Rs. 100 gone to ashes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An overall good effort, highlights the average life style of rich young boys whilst and fresh out of colleges. The storyline is sluggish and lengthy and never seems to take off. The american accents do take the better of one. Some of the scenes which could have been good scene stealers for the main cast members, were under written and therefore leave the viewer wanting so much more. And the moment of realisation hits the protagonist right at the end. What exactly inspires him, is beyond me! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member There isn't much of a plot; the story never takes off as such. Very typical and predictable stuff. The guy in the film talks about 'originality' in films: that's exactly what's lacking here. Even low budget films are supposed to keep you entertained for a while. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyed the movie... the acting was quite natural by all.. a good effort by Hammad khan Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
