2/5
It's somewhat stiffly acted by non-professionals, and its earnestness might leave you with a hankering for the sly humour of mumblecores. Go to Full Review

2/5
A laudable but laboured twist on slackerdom. Go to Full Review
David Parkinson Radio Times 11/29/2010
3/5
The pacing is sometimes overly languid, the script often ponderous and the performances decidedly mixed. But this knowing drama is undoubtedly a laudable effort. Go to Full Review

11/23/2017 Plot is a little slow but an interesting perspective on life in Pakistan. See more 05/25/2015 Can't believe I watched this whole movie through. Boring and not much going on. See more 03/01/2013 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. See more 01/06/2012 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! See more 11/08/2011 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.
