There are many aspects of the movie with which the Pakistani audience members connected. First of all, it has an ensemble cast to its name such as Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ahmed Butt, Vasay Chaudhry, Mehwish Hayat, Ayesha Khan, Sarwat Gillani, Uzma Khan, Bushra Ansari, Javed Sheikh, Suhai Ali Abro and Ismail Tara.
Secondly, the humour immediately has everyone’s funny bone tickling. Vasay Chaudhry has outdone himself with a marvelous script and Ahmed Butt’s timing is of the essence! This also happens to be perhaps the first Pakistani film in which the actors seem to have worked meticulously at the dances and rehearsed each step in advance. Expert choreographers were hired to coach the actors and actresses in learning the different and diverse dance steps in the film.
All in all, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani has turned out to be an immense and unparalleled success. If you still haven’t watched the movie, what more could convince you to buy your ticket to the cinema, then the fact that the movie has outsold every other in Pakistan, till date? Grab a ticket and watch it now!
