The movie was absolutely beautiful. With such strong characters, such sensitivity, such good acting.

Its rather sad that a Romanian friend was the first to tell me about it. Most of my Desi friends were talking about Veer Zara. Kudos to Sabahi for breaking all the barriers.

Also, even though I am Urdu speaking, I loved the Punjabi dialogue. I don`t think Urdu would have worked that well for the movie.

ASA

A friend of mine in Canada from this area saw the film and praised it very much, especially due to its language. So I checked up with all the major vidio centres in Islamabad, even the Radio City, to get the film, but failed. I tried to download it from the internet but failed either.
Please let me know how can I see this film in Pakistan?

seen the film many times, its really fab, you should all watch it, if you get a chance.

I`m glad it ws done in Punjabi, it lends a credible reality to the film, cause no one in the villages speaks in Urdu. I hope ppl realise that serious filmi art can be done in Punjabi without it looking like the lollywood style crass, that we see all the time.

Good on her!

Jeendi reh!
