First of all I have never written any review for any movie. This is my first ever review. I was desperately waiting for this movie to be released. The took sometime but the end result was worth waiting for. Most part of the movie is filmed in my hometown. The landscapes, the music, cinematography, acting, script everything is near to perfect. Most of the actors are local from my hometown, and I can't believe how amazingly they have acted on big screen. Thumbs up to all of them. Jami the director is indeed an accomplished professional in his field. The Music by strings will leave you in awe and the script is written my well know writer Anwar Maqsood. I would recommend every one to watch it once. I bet you wont regret.

Excellent direction, sound, songs and cinematography makes Moor a delightful 150 minutes of true Cinema magic. Perfect casting with Samiya Mumtaz as Moor at the top. Her brief but powerful performance made impact. Moor for mother and motherland both analogies made complete sense. The mystery the intrigue of memories was presented beautifully. Humor by Bango was cute. His love for the railway station is more romantic than SRK and Kajol in DDLJ. Music by strings was perfect. Original and powerful. The way it has been placed in the film is perfect. Hats off to the entire team. Proud to have a Pakistani film that is truly a representation of what our country has to offer to the World. Worthy of Oscar.

Finest of cinematography, acting(among all recent Pakistani), great direction, strong message.Movie made me fall in love with Baluchistan. Brilliant work done there by all the team. Overall, loved it. But that was then and this is now. It took Pakistani cinema around two years to reset the bar, higher than where it had been set earlier by Waar. All thanks to Moor, and of course the people behind it. The acting department spearheaded by Hameed Sheikh was simply a treat within a treat. God, the performances. I would actually like to thank Shoaib Mansoor here. Thank You sir, thank you for bringing the greatness that is Hameed Sheikh in the film world. And I will be honest here, Hameed Sheikh did make me shed few tears. The film was about Waheed (Hameed's character) and Hameed Sheikh gave it the best he has given to a film up till now

After watching Jami's O21, I had high hopes for MOOR because he doesn't follow the usual ingredients of a Lollywood or Bollywood movie. Surely, MOOR wasn't your typical Indian musical or a romcom. The basic story line is powerful, it deals with corruption in railways, neglect of government for Balochistan, moral degradation of society (particularly Karachi), lust of man for money and bonding within the family. What Jami failed to do this time was to create a steady momentum of the story. Movie seems to be a product of bad editing where haphazard scenes collide. The first 50 minutes seemed like a psychological thriller where a man is marred with the guilt of not saving his mother in his childhood. Also those 50 minutes could have been shown in a total of 15 minutes span. Scenes are shot in detail from an artistic point of view not from storytelling perspective. The emotional scenes are so long that they affect the whole feeling in it. The director failed to project the characters emotions. Dialogues seemed to be a rip off of an old moral story that mothers in Pakistan tell their kids and they were prolonged for no particular reason. You have got your railway corruption, backwardness of Balochistan and moral dilemmas being shown at the same time, nothing is wrong with it… but poor editing made it confusing for the audience to concentrate to all of it. The light background music wasn't effective during the dialogues as it should have been. Shots were too much zoomed in. There is hardly a scene where you see a character's full body or the environment he/she is in (apart from the outside shots in Balochistan). It was as if cameraman didn't knew how to zoom out. Maybe the director wanted to show the facial expressions in detail while a character's life is in turmoil but it was all too much. From an artistic directors' point of view, the shots are beautiful. But overall Jami failed to compile the movie to convey a heavy message. You have to assimilate more than 90 minutes to receive this message: Money is not real happiness, family ties are important, Pakistan (motherland) is to be taken care of by every individual and to always act morally.
