Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

usama-someone With 7.8 ratings out of 10 from 489 registered and educated users as films viewers around the world at http://www.IMDb.com/title/tt5200814/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 (Biggest films comments sites on Internet with 65 million registered users from all countries) is among best films of 2015 in all world and in any language having Islamic values included in it as all Pakistani Muslims in the film only. I saw it in best cinema of Pakistan, many Pakistani cinemas are even far better than many American cinemas and vice versa as latest technology wise and their huge size. Saw Nikah (Islamic way of wedding) 1st time in Cinema after I had seen Titanic as 1st film of my life in cinema in Ho Mann Jahaan Pakistani film since 1997. So felt very pleasing. While Islamic values are displayed in every Pakistani film due to about 99% Muslim population in the country. Since 2013 or some earlier by introducing latest technologies in film industry competing International standards with highly educated new Pakistani film makers like Bilal Lashari (Film making graduate from America)of great Warr Pakistani film (at http://www.IMDb.com/title/tt1821700/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3 with 8.5 ratings with 27,235 users ) of 2013 almost all Pakistani films have proved highly successful if compared with IMDb.com ratings for these films even with extremely low budget films if these are compared with Indian or Hollywood films. So Pakistani films are going to rock the world due to great beautiful Islamic peaceful values in them.Currently about 70% population of Pakistan is illiterate & poor so they don't afford to see films in cinema and they have also not a amazing vision to perceive great films having best possible visions of a nation or particular circumstances or scenarios etc. But any good great ruler in Pakistan can change destinies of Pakistani nation forever as a highly educated nation with great positive Islamic values as extremely important country strategically if seen on map of world. International experts are making too much expectations from Pakistan as a stunning Islamic nuclear country for whole Islamic world and rest of the world with China as its best friend as military, trade wise and in every way since 1948. Extremely rich with natural resources & about 90% highly educated citizens 6 central Asian Muslim landlocked countries are very much dependent to use Pakistan's deep sea port (3rd deepest sea port in world with biggest hot sea of world in front of it) as only best option for them for importing & exporting for trade with world. Bordering China, India, Iran (having world 2nd largest natural gas and 4th largest oil reserves ) and Afghanistan increases importance of Pakistan too much more on map of world. As being 4th time maximum world champion of Men's field hockey (3rd most seen sports in world), have most Champions awards in Squash sports and 1992 Cricket (2nd most seen sports in world) world champion & having extremely beautiful natural places to visit with too many mountains' beautiful sites at thousands of feet's heights, having a big desert, 700 kilometers untouched hot sea beaches, having all 4 weathers summer, winter, spring , having 2nd largest salt ranges mountain in world and having much more Pakistan is among top most countries for tourists attractions. Currently by military war against terrorists since 2013 in Pakistan about at least 98% terrorism in Pakistan is ended so country has become extremely peaceful for everyone.

bkureishi Horrible acting, mediocre script and predictable plot is what makes Ho Maan Jahan not worth watching. The opening musical score by Mira Khan is an amateurish effort at best, but that's only followed by a three other similarly amateurish scores that highlight the corners that were cut in the film. The script comes across as a mishmash of similarly horrible Bollywood movies such as Rockstar but without the musical muscle. Every dialog is predictable, right down to the costumes which have nothing cultural or Pakistani about them. The acting can best be summed up as horrible. Mira Khan is an industry veteran but seems to have lost her on screen charm. The male leads are even worse which makes her probably come across as the best. Conclusion All in All I'd say this is a bad movie. Its been hyped up and that's probably what the financiers of the movie saved up for i.e. to create hype. Fake social media accounts are used to create buzz and negative comments are deleted across various social media sites.

Jasrick Johal With the start of 2016 I have officially watched my first Pakistani film in theaters titled Ho Mann Jahaan, I had seen 2 other Urdu films before online, and I had noticed that Pakistan is not that behind India in filmmaking. Just an explanation for the people that don't know that Urdu and Hindi is almost 99% the same there is just a dialect difference, like how Punjabi and Hindi are almost the same. But back to Ho Mann Jahaan I had read the film was breaking Box office records in Pakistan,so I wasn't surprised that finally a Pakistani film was being released in British Columbia(only the third film to release here) so I was highly intrigued.The films story is one I have seen in Bollywood, and Hollywood etc many times, of how parents don't understand there kids ambitions and force them to crush there dreams. Its a coming of the age emotionally drama.But each film has its own different theme, and with this film music was at the theme. Moreover for the most part Ho Mann Jahaan was enjoyable, but what bogs down the film is a ever slow sluggish pace, and a overload of clichés/predictability.But some good music, and acting does ably support the film but more on that later.Story wise The film's central characters Arhaan, Nadir and Manizeh are done with college and try to make a career in music and not the fields their parents want them to.What happens when they slowly get torn apart makes up the rest of the plot.Acting wise Mahira Khan is the best of the lot, and she excels in the emotional scenes, she is a talent to look out for. I now know why Shahrukh Khan casted her for Raees ,its because she is extremely beautiful and talented.Shaharyar Munawar matches up with Mahira in the acting and also shows a lot of unique spunk on screen. His acting was very refreshing and funny. However Adeel Hussain was extremely wooden and needs to polish up his skills, he seemed amateurish in front of the former two.Ho Mann Jahaan is honestly a film I enjoyed for the most part, it had its light moments, the coming of age drama was nice for the most part, and even the film clichés played out realistically for awhile. But slowly the film became very tedious and slow and at 2hrs 50 I started to get a bit bored. Film needs to be edited to be made more crisp.Furthermore after a point the clichés went overboard especially in the scene when Arhaan says I love you too Manzieh, like come on a love triangle now out of nowhere.But what my biggest problem with the film was that I had seen too many films like Ho Mann Jahaan in the recent past so the film lost its freshness and novelty for me.But the film boasted of some great music, some commendable acting, and the urban theme was done well, the costumes, locations, and the production values were top notch. However for a film with music at its base we never really see the films leads struggle to make it big in the music game, or trying to promote there band by doing gigs, they just practice at home. The films story and screenplay needed a little more work. The film is more of an emotional journey of the three main leads rather than a musical(thats what I excepted).Overall even though the film was far from perfect I chuckled and enjoyed myself throughout most of the film so I cant really complain. Its a film which will connect with the youth and they will relate too. Even the though film is quite average I recommend Indians to go watch Ho Mann Jahaan, because one will be able to tell there is almost no difference between an Hindi and Urdu film. 3/5* or 6/10

Hamdoon Ibrahim I truly believe that there is nothing better to alleviate stress of any and all kinds then watching a good movie, for some time now Pakistani cinema has seen some sort of a resurgence, not only in terms of the market share and the bragging rights but also in terms of the quality of the films. The trend was started by Khuda Kay Liye, then came Bol and the trickle down effect has seen the local talent from directors, producers to the many up and coming actors both male and female come to the fore and churn out unexpected hits that not only resonate with our culture but are appreciated abroad as well. I was cautiously optimistic going in for Ho Mann Jahan, the film had everything going for it from tremendous marketing with a tie in with the marketing juggernaut that is the brand Coca Cola, to a very talented though somewhat underrated cast. The many vignettes on TV commercials seemed very promising, little did i know that the film will completely blow my expectations out of the water.It won't be an understatement to say that this is a modern classic by all accounts and i am not saying this because i am a Pakistani, you have to see the film to understand how beautifully its crafted. First and foremost, the three main actors: Mahira Khan, Adeel Hussain and Sheheryar Munawar deserve huge props for their performances, each embodied their character and were pulling out all the stops and seemed to be living their roles. The ever present Bushra Ansari was great as usual and even the cameos by Hamza Ali Abbasi, Zoheb Hassan and Fawad Khan were very welcome and never seemed to be just filler with no substance. The film being a musical had to have good music and although i didn't like every song in the movie, its safe to say that it caters to a variety of tastes in music and does have something for everyone, although Atif Aslam's solo number 'Dil Kare' seemed to stand out amongst others.The cinematography was superb, there were scenes where the relative newcomers were outclassing the veterans and were pushing all the right buttons to generate a reaction from the audience. The narrative of the film revolves around friendship and so it has its fair share of variety when it comes to plot twists and memorable moments. I was especially impressed by Sheheryar Munawar's performance, he seemed such a natural in his role and it seems that sky is really the limit for his future. Mahira was looking ravishing but that doesn't mean that she was all eye candy, this was probably her most complete performance yet. Adeel Hussain did a very commendable job as well. To conclude, this is a film that simply can't be missed by a Pakistani cinema goer, as for the audiences abroad, if u want to see a film that is representative of Pakistan through and through; packs a punch and is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish without relying on silly item numbers, you can't do much better than this.
