This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Jalaibee Review Waar, Mein hoon Sa, Namaloom Afraad, Operation 021 now JALAIBEE, PK cinema is growing surely. Jailaibee is a mystery thriller with twists in the movie till end!!! A good story but a poor direction average acting and missing background score makes JALAIBEE just an average fair. The movie is about money, Thugs , Robbery . The problem is Jaliabee miserably fails to hold the audience even though the story is really good but not properly handled. If the movie have been properly directed , it must have been a master piece like OPERATION 021. The acting is another big issue apart of DARA others have failed in acting. If proper and professional actors may have hired movie may have done much better. Even than JALAIBEE is one time watch, go for it!!!!!!!!

What happens when you create a lot of hype of a product through all possible mediums and when you experience the product if fall short of value and quality? Jalaibee is the mirror example of such a product. The much talked about and marketed crime caper Jalaibee has more than many angles to focus. After all, it's all about the continual of revival of Pakistani Cinema. A revival alone is not adequate – good revival is significant. Let's dissect Jalaibee and focus on what's the actual taste of Jalaibee! Jalaibee, in simple words, is a so called complicated and twisted tale of two childhood friends Billu (Danish Taimoor) and Bugga (Ali Safina) who first met in an orphanage and become lifelong friends. They both Life brings them to a point where these buffoon goons are in a situation where they are indebted by local mafia. How they cope up with the situation and try to come clean out of it; is all what Jalaibee offers to its audience. Addition of revenge saga, political power, assassinations and cheap alleys of cities along with a Ford Mustang (1973) are all elements that are sprinkled over Jalaibee to serve to the viewers. Performance and acting wise, only Adnan Jaffar (Dara) stands tall in the entire fare. Adnan is a villain who has the potential to bring back stylish and great on vocals villains (like Aslam Pervaiz) back in Pakistani Cinema. Sajid Hassan is good and delivers a decent performance. His scenes with Adnan and Sabeeka are very well executed. Danish Taimoor keeps only one expression glued to his face – for all these years it was Akshaye Khanna who signature looks are made fun of, this time we have Danish as strong contender in same niche. He shouts! Ali Safina on the contrary has a few good scenes which he ably performed but keep in mind only "a few". At places, Ali Safina hams. Zhalay Sarhadi (Banno) should have improved her acting skills before signing the movie. The "I Love You" sequence is the eye- opener for those who has slightest doubt Zhalay can act. She totally misses the ooze and sharpness that a bar girl has in her dialect – homework seemed missing by lady Sharhadi. Wiqar Ali Khan (Ali) is just an eye-candy. He looks damn good – and that's the entire thing. He falls short in performance. Wiqar terribly fails to deal emotional scenes. Sabeeka Imam is just okay – she looked a lot confused with the script and that's evident from her dialogues. Uzair Jaswal was hardly there, it's a side-kick kind of character, who is being told "Don't come to home as I am with Eman" or "Get the garbage truck ready" etc. The script of Jalaibee lacks the power, substance and good dialogues that you bring back from theater. At times, characters try too hard to make you laugh but all you experience is uneasiness. The hyped item number by Zhalay is nothing but a total fail. Calling it an item number, (that means latkaas and jhatkaas with a dash of skin show, is definitely an insult to the genre. However, the guy in that item number is a lot better than Zhalay. Even Lux Style Awards' stage performances are better than "Jawaani". Direction wise, Jalaibee is a very nice and pleasant experience. The movie offers stylized dressing, sets and direction in abundance. The movie is receiving mixed reviews. If you watch Jalaibee as Pakistan's effort to revive cinema – it's good; but if you want to watch an entertainer that is high on content, performance, music and thrills plus chills then better skip Jalaibee. Jalaibee is an example of home cooked dessert that lacks syrupiness and sweetness – all you experience is too much effort… I would rate Jalaibee a strict 2/10 on performance and its promise i.e. thrills.

So i saw this movie last night and let me start by saying i love movies and also very Proud of all the progress Pakistani cinema is making but still there is nothing good that i can say about this movie. Getting right to it these are the problems i think this movie had:There is absolutely no character development. Sound mixing and editing of the movie is horrible. Casting is bad especially Danish Taimoor (he is no way near fit for the character of Billu,and there is something very weird about his voice and dialog delivery).Character of Dara and Bugga are the only ones that seemed to fit perfectly other than that the casting was just bad.The only good thing about this movie are the few aerial scenes of Islamabad which looked stunning. The story had the potential to be great but somewhere along the line the the editor and the sound mixer and director and whoever did the screenplay of the movie screwed it up BIG Time!All in all this is the only movie that i truly regret watching in all my life. Very bad, childish film making. I want my 850 bucks back.

lets start off by saying that the title has nothing to do with the plot except that the plot itself is the title. The movie starts off in a very traditional manner and continues to do so for about the first 40 mins and till then the film is going nowhere but takes a couple of good twists which were unpredictable and good to see.Technically the movie wasn't that bad and the director has done some pretty neat stuff, my only problem though was the camera work, it felt like they were trying to pull off something completely new but mostly ended up in some really shitty camera angles, there was also a bit of shaky cam in the start which did not work at all.The acting was satisfactory in general, Sajid Hassan and Adnan Jaffar did extremely well but Danish and Sabeeka were too bad, Danish was going for that macho Salman khan thing which was well disappointing to say the least while Sabeeka was nothing more than a Katrina Kaif wannabe.The movie was filled with cinematic clichés and Bollywood humor which is not all appropriate for the Pakistani "family" audience not to mention the completely needless item song, the curse words and the excess drinking scenes. There were some definite sins in there the most prominent being Islamabadi people using Karachi accents and Karachi slang. The jokes weren't really funny and the references were not working.In conclusion, Jalibee is decent enough movie and is not as bollywood-ish as "Na Maloom Afraad" or "Main hoon Shahid Afridi" and deserves a watch.My Rating 6/10
