Assalam-o-Aalikum - I had read this LAME review in "The News" last week but didn't post it here because the reviewer/critic sounded like writing an intellectual editorial.
tyring out too many formulas is not an issue neither is the business (though we know that business is getting better). Rauf Khalid has done some top class work in this movie. do you know why he started the english version of the movie? probably because he sensed the difference of audience among Pakistani locals and Pakistani expatriates.
Jinnah, an excellent movie, made from an historic point didn't do much well in Pakistan but do we expect the pakistani public to understand a movie of that calibre? anyone into serious movies would love Jinnah. it was a mini masterpiece considering the story, acting and cast.
Laaj is one of those extraordinary movies. you will find this movie far above the trash churned out by lollywood on regular basis but you will not find it as a movie filled with extreme masalah. Laaj has many messages in it and in Rauf Khalid, we have found someone who reminds us of Shabab keranvi or even nazrulIslam.
you will be surprised to see the move. only intelligent people like Rauf Khalid can make it. it is not of same entertainment value as YDAKH but then remember YDAKH was a whole different genre. there was not much of a message and it was a purely well made family entertainment social drama. laah has a whole different genre and all of you will love it. it is equally good as many hollywood historic movie.
It will for sure get the money it worths over time so hang in there as we are in for a surprise. rauf khalid always knew that such kind of movie will pick slow. he still plans to release the english version as he knows that it could be nominated for critics choices.

well right author sahab...
Laaj" I think first time big production movies and as compare to foreign movies,and Rauf Khalid has a good thinking... Dialauge is very different as well as lyrics,Action is awesome,and DTS affects are more charming...but I am sad to see this movie publicity as not as YDAKH....SO there should be more marketing...
