I watched "The system" today in Karachi. Really great movie. Must watch. Great dialogues and full of humor. Super acting by Cheema and Co. Cheema really stole the show.
I really had a great time, no a single dull moment. Plus, songs were super, super awesome especially " Aa re Aa" sung by Javed Ali and Komal Rizvi.
Only flaw is, main hero could work on his acting skills more. Or a better hero could be hired for playing the lead role. Cinema was full packed.
Overall, 7 rating from 10 from me.
A Pakistani film has made it to the cinemas after a long time since Waar released last year.
The System is about corruption in the country which goes from the lowest level to the highest.
The story is run-of-the mill which sees clichéd dialogs and incredibly weak acting by the male lead. Haider Ali (Sheraz) is the son of a pious imam. When he sees rampant corruption by the local SHO Cheema (Shafqat Cheema), he decides to join the police force to become a part of the system and to cleanse it.
The acting by Cheema, Nayyer Ejaz and Nadeem Baig was good. These veterans can hold their own in front of the camera in front of any actor. However, Sheraz, the débutant, was forgettable. The lad has a decent body, but his dialog delivery was cringe worthy and not a single moment of his performance was worth remembering.
The direction also lacked in several aspects as Shehzad Ghafoor took a long time to establish simple facts in the first half. The songs were average and so were the action scenes. Some of the extras were hilarious. Reminded me of the low-budget B grade Punjabi films of the past.
All in all, a very weak effort.
THE SYSTEM Movie Review By : KASHIF AMIN
So Finally After Seven And A Half Month, Here Comes An Other Lollywood Flick, "The System" . Produced By LEOS Films And Directed By The First Timer Shehzad Ghafoor, Lets Talk About The Components Of The Movie.
The System Highlights The Corruption And Bribe Culture In Pakistan. The Story Is Simple And Straight But The Screen Play Really Really Suffers. Screen Play is Weak and Not Gripping At All. However The Dialogues Are Entertaining." JIS KE JINAY KA KOI FAIDA NA HO, US KE MARNY KA KOI NUQSAN NAHI HOTA" "MERA AIK ASOOL HAI, MERA KOI ASOOL NAHI" .
The System is Introducing A Fresh Pair, Shehraz Ghafoor And Kashaf Ali.Shehraz Is Good Looking, Specially His Shirtless Scenes Are Awesome But Failed To Create Impact As An Actor. Nadeem Baig Is Wonderful In His Role. Shafqat Cheema as Antagonist Is Top Notch, A Totally Knock Out Performance. Nayyer Aijaz is Strictly OK.
The Film Has Featured Some Great Songs. Specially "Sayyon Re" And "Ariya" are good Tracks. Editing Is Worst. I Think This Movie Should Be Re Edited By Some One Else. Direction Is Average Under The Low Budget (5 Crore).The B ROLLs Are Not Properly Sync With The Situations. Action Sequences Are Few And Has Some Good Moments.
PLUSES : Songs | Shafqat Cheema | Dialoges Minuses : Screen PLay | Editing | Performance Of The Protagonist
My Rating : 5.5 / 10 Go For IT.. Support Pakistani Cinema
