Perfect cast and a good story

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

To be honest I stumbled upon this movie accidentally. But what turned out was a ride that I didn't regret.This is a punjabi movie and has its touch of humor but some things in the movie are actually thought provoking and would make you nod your head. It shows the struggles of what it means to try to do better and try to achieve things.The movie was a worthy experience and left me coming out of it with a lot on my mind. I would recommend you to watch it.

I have just one word for this movie "FANTABULOUS". I spent my whole life in Lahore and to me as a Lahori, it's like I am not seeing a movie it's just happening around me. Their problems, language, speaking style, living style, acting, I mean everything seems real to me. Actors did a great job it didn't seems that they are acting for the first time and Naseerudin Shah is perfect as always. Zinda Bhaag don't let you loose your attention it keeps getting interesting and interesting. Director done a good job in showing you a good story. Also songs are very good and a plus point in movie. Some people don't like the ending but to me it's perfect because you know what's going to happen then why bother showing again. A must watch.

It is a movie about modern Pakistani Dream of the lower middle class youth. It simply shows the modern life in Lahore and peoples obsession of going abroad.(and I might add) It shows the everyday life quite beautifully.Like serials,snooker or planning...The cinematography and the screenplay is quite modern or artistic(at least tries to be). Acting is the weak point mostly but Puhlwan will cheer you up.Writing is good and quite original.Some great old Punjabi Sayings spread around.Music is well used & captures the mood.Overall It is a good movie with a deep message.With the amount of movies being made it becomes a must see!!

Zinda Bhaag is for sure one of the best efforts from Pakistan in 2013 ... but with 4-5 mainstream movies getting made in a year - not much to compare it against!! In a nutshell, Zinda Bhaag talks of the "Pakistani Dream" of an average Pakistani youth – the one where he is willing to take any route to migrate from Pakistan – be it to Doobai, Amereeka, Europe or Englaand!! – where all his life's problems will get solved, because that's where his Pot of Gold is waiting.Zinda Bhaag is not your mainstream masala entertainment – it is a film with a message.Go prepared with your thinking hats on and if you don't know Punjabi, with someone who can translate the dialogues for you …(because the movie is 80% in Punjabi)
