I can't believe people like Mahira with her miss piggy nose.
She's a carbon clone of a Muslim friend's sister here in Poona.
I don't know man. She's got that marry and settle down with cute girl sort of look.
Cheers, Doc

I'm upset they were wearing peshawari chappal instead of khussa in this trailer. In the original noori was wearing peshawari chappal but that was fashion in punjab at the time the film was set. I think the timeline in this new one is from a few hundred years ago, so they should have been wearing khussa, but I guess I am just being nit picky.
I think people are being too hung up on the fact it does not match the original. The producers have repeatedly said the film is not a remake or a sequel. It is its own story using the characters from the original. The film is clearly going to the fantasy historical genre (example 300) so do not expect it to be an accurate representation of Punjab.
I think this is a great step up for Pakistani cinema as producers are starting to experiment with different genres, for the last few years comedy and action comedy has ruled the box office. It is exciting to see something different.
At least there is mujra instead of heroine dancing on fields, much more realistic lol
They could get rid of that gladiator type scene, still long time to go. Apart from that all other scenes looked straight out of old punjab. Then they will also have to get rid of women watching fights lol
Most likely Medieval Punjab.Which time period they're depicting ???
Or is it fantasy era
jaati hain or galian bhi nikalti hain.Today they definitely do not.
LOL. Poor punjabi accent. Although Ravi side Jutt accent is extremely difficult to pronounce but at least it should be in majhaal, not in some "aukhha lahori" style.
jaati hain or galian bhi nikalti hain.

Rustic and audacious, The Legend of Maula Jatt is a risk that just might pay off for Pakistani cinema
By Sami Saayer
The Legend of Maula Jatt is set to release on Eidul Fitr 2019.
At the time of writing this article, the trailer for The Legend of Maula Jatt (LoMJ) has already garnered around three million views on multiple accounts on Facebook, around one million views on YouTube, and more than a million views through different reaction videos. It has generated the hype it truly deserved.
Anurag Kashyap was one of the first ones to tweet about the trailer, while the likes of Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor are full of praise for what they have seen.

Watch the first look trailer of "The Legend of Maula Jatt"
A Bilal Lashari Film.
Starring: Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Humaima Malick, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ali Azmat, Gohar Rasheed, Faris Shafi, Shafqat Cheema, Nayyer Ejaz and Saima Baloch.https://bit.ly/2AbPRZW
This is Fawad Khan’s first film since returning from greener pastures, Bilal Lashari’s second venture after the trendsetting Waar, and Mahira Khan’s reunion with Fawad. What’s not to look forward to? It has something for everyone; even for someone like me, who thought Waarwas overrated and disjointed (even though very well treated).
Before moving further, let’s address the elephant in the room. I have seen numerous posts leaving comments like:
“Gladiator ki copy hai.”
(This is a copy of Gladiator)
“Game of Thrones chhaap liya.”
(They’ve copied Game of Thrones)
My simple answer to whoever says that to me is:
“Tou aap chhaap letay!”
(So you could have copied it!)
Whether or not it is copied, has the Pakistani audience seen Fawad in this avatar before? Has the Pakistani audience been privy to this scale on the big screen by a Pakistani film before? The answer is a plain and simple no. Teefa in Trouble was a big film, but even that does not come close to the scale Lashari has brought to the screen. It might not be at the level of Baahubali, but it’s close to KGF, which is already breaking record after record.

Undoubtedly, LoMJ looks grand. However, what’s important is the substance behind the froth. It doesn’t look grand for the sake of it; effectively meaning it does not look like Thugs of Hindostan or Tashan. It looks rustic. It looks raw. It looks audacious. It does not look like a remix by Neha Kakkar; it looks like a remixed track by Tiesto. It does not look like what Farhan Akhtar’s Don was to Chandra Barot’s Don; it looks more in line with Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes to Alfred Werker’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes; essentially improving a classic in modern times. Does it also have the potential to become Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag? Yes, it does.
Remaking a classic is a daunting task. Expectations are high and there will always be some purists who will never be happy, no matter how well you do. Agneepath, for example, was a very good remake; however, it also faced criticism for removing the character of Krishnan Iyer.

Fawad’s look is on point; his hair, not so much. However, his intensity is contagious. My forehead had a frown while watching his trailer, and for no reason at all really.

Hamza Ali Abbasi looks closer to Khilji of Padmaavat, and to be honest, falls slightly short of Fawad in the trailer, particularly in that laughter scene. Perhaps he is supposed to?

Mahira is there, albeit overshadowed by Humaima Malick’s slyness. Gohar Rasheed looks evil, and Nayyar Ijaz even more so.
Sreejesh Nair’s soundtrack speaks for itself, and is probably going to be 50% of the ticket’s worth. I would also not have been surprised if the characters started speaking Dothraki, but why not?

One of the toughest tasks of the film was the makeup, and boy have Maram and Aabroo lived up to the task, barring Fawad’s hair. Did I mention his hair looks out of sync?
The trailer of LoMJ is thus everything it was expected to be and then some. Will it make commercial sense? Let’s have a look.
Firstly, it’s an expensive film. That scale and grandness does not come cheap. In order to make money, it will have to become the highest grossing Pakistani film ever. Not just the highest, but highest by a mile.

There are still two problems with the film though – starting with the language. It’s 100% a Punjabi film, just like the original. How the audience from Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwawill react to a national level Punjabi film remains to be seen. If Shaan Shahid is to be believed, Karachi already has a problem with films being made in Lahore, let alone a Punjabi film.
Secondly, if the rumours are true, there are no songs in the film. A film without a song in today’s time is, once again, audacious. In front of LoMJ will be Wajahat Rauf’s third film, taking around 20-30% screens out of the 130 or so available. Rauf’s film is a comedy entertainer with a relatable young cast. Can that topple the grandness of LoMJ? You never know.

As Maula says,
“Maulay nu Maula na maray tay Maula nae marda!”
(If Maula does not kill Maula, then Maula does not die)
Maybe the only reason for Maula Jatt not working at the box office will be Maula Jatt itself.

Keep target low yalghaar made the mistake of aiming too highr u kidding me with 70 cr only? it is releasing simultaneously in China on 10,000 screen i bet it can earn above 70 cr on just 1st weekend from China only.
Epic trailer really seems nice period movie. should definitely earn at least 500 cr in China only.
Yalghar was not released in China on same day with 10,000 screen.Keep target low yalghaar made the mistake of aiming too high
