Lahore Se Aagey: Don’t miss this roller coaster ride


Director Wajahat Rauf was content with the response he got and hence decided to make a sequel, the recently released Lahore Se Aagey

With such a talented cast, such as Yasir Hussain, Saba Qamar, Behroz Sabzwari, Rubina Ashraf, Abdullah Farhatullah and Umar Sultan, did Lahore Se Aagey manage to deliver? https://www

com/watch?v=SzbFxX2pTs4 The film sees Yasir Hussain reprise his role as Moti and is seen being chased down by two goons (Abdullah Farhatullah and Umar Sultan) who are hell bent on killing him

While trying to find a safe place to hide in the narrow streets of Lahore, Moti bumps into Tara (Saba Qamar), an aspiring singer, performing at a concert

Maddened by her John Abraham look-alike (Mubashir Malik) boyfriend’s disapprobation of her performance, Tara storms out of the venue and drives away, until she runs into Moti again

After a series of arguments and negotiations, Tara agrees to let Moti hitch a ride with her all the way to Swat as Moti needs to go see his ailing uncle (Behroz Sabzwari)

The rest of the film follows the odd couple on their humorous and emotional road trip from Lahore to Swat, and how their relationship grows during the journey

[/caption] Any comedy movie rests on two vital factors, the script and the performance

 Lahore Se Aagey, in my opinion, executed both flawlessly

Yasir Hussain was just as amazing as he was in the prequel

He was funny, he was goofy and he owned the script

He seemed to be very comfortable in his role as if it came naturally to him and didn’t disappoint in even a single scene

Saba Qamar’s  performance was just as impactful

She is attractive, smart, vibrant and every bit believable in her role

Umar Sultan as Farhatullah’s sidekick adds an authentic wit in his Amitabh Bachchan accent

Even though, he isn’t given much screen time, he is spot-on with his spontaneous appearance and dialogue delivery

 Behroz Sabzwari, as always, was remarkable in his emotional and comic scenes

Rubina Ashraf, on the other hand, comes across average in comparison

Viewers are caught by surprise from time to time with various cameo appearances which are smartly timed, keeping the audience interested and engaged

Kalabaaz, Befikrian and Zara Si Lagalo are pretty catchy in my opinion

[/caption] Lahore Se Aagey is definitely worth a watch

But be warned, if you’re looking for a deep philosophical movie with a bewildering script, skip it

Otherwise, if you want to keep laughing for two and a half hours, do not miss this hilarious voyage
