It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Someone should introduce a new genre for this movie "UNFUNNY". If you call this a FUNNY movie then you have to contact some good doctor. This movie tries very hard to be funny but fails terribly. Some punches from hippie friend is funny but not a single funny punch from the lead which makes you laugh. So much advertising of HBL and Cornetto that it makes your stomach hurt. You can't even understand the character of Zaheem and his friends e.g he hits and abuses his friends but they still stick with him like a leech and not only one time Zaheem says sorry to them. I just want to say that don't even bother to watch this movie otherwise you will regret it later.P.S This movie should be renamed as "_____". You can't even rename this crap.

Being Pakistani, I should have to prefer Pakistani Movies at first... But after watching the movie Karachi Se Lahore, the frequent below-the-belt humor made it the best movie only for a specific class and not the audience with families liking the genuine comedy and humor which should have been the symbol of a typical Pakistani movie. Other way round, this movie was a good effort on a lighter note and had there been no such one-liner jokes, I would have given it 8 out of 10... as all of clean punches were superb, situational comedy along with soft romance was at its best... role of Javed Sheikh with Khushi was very amusing, although it needed some more focus (like Aysha Omer or that Travelling Group could have known about the existence of Khushi)... However, if we compare it with Maalamal Weekly, Hera Pheri, Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar, Dhol, Hangama (Indian Movies), all have clean comedies. And yet I am not asking the Pakistani Directors to Copy- Paste an Indian Movie but producing a Clean-Comedy Movie... Rest Songs were great, Picturisation was great, Direction was great and acting was also great including Rashid Hussain (except his few sentences)....

This is the second movie made in Pakistan that I watched. It's amazing. It contain a lot of funny scene, my favorite song "Aaja re Aaja" and amazing screen-shots that I could not imagine were from Pakistan. I voted 10/10. This is family Picture and I think everyone should watch it. This is amazing for me so that is why i'm recommending this movie. Pakistan is going to produced its name in film industry it is one of its master pieces. So everyone is in quest for a terrific comedy that make you cry all over the hall, room or even a theater then go for it. Ayesha Omer, Javed sheikh are the most amazing actress and actor in Pakistan. I can't tell anyone how I was feeling after watching this movie. I think one more time I've to go for it and must watch it.

The most common issue that is raised by people about Pakistani film industry is that the script of the movie is usually not engaging plus the dialogues are either inspired from Bollywood movies or reinvented from our dramas. With the release of movies like Namaloom Afraad, Waar, Wrong No. and Bol, Pakistani films have proved that they are worthy of being watched at least once. Karachi Se Lahore is directorial debut of Wajahat Rauf. Karachi Se Lahore has launched some great performers on silver screen like Ayesha Omer, Ahmed Ali, Yasir Hussain etc. Will Karachi Se Lahore be another turning stone for Pakistani Cinema? Let's discover. Karachi Se Lahore is a rom-com road trip of Zaheem (Shehzad Sheikh) who comes to know that his girlfriend Ashi (Eshita Syed) is planning to dump him by getting married to Timmy in Lahore. After learning the reality, Zaheem with his two friends Sam (Ahmed Ali) and Moti (Yasir Hussain) plans to leave for Lahore to crash the wedding of Ashi. They don't have a dependable ride, so they take help from Zaheem's neighbor Maryam (Ayesha Omer) and her younger brother Zeezu who own a jeep. What happens next on the road is all about cherishing friendship, treasuring loved ones and finding love. Karachi Se Lahore rests on the shoulders of script and dialogues – hands down. Hats off to the writer and actor Yasir Hussain for beautifully writing the characters and performing Moti which would easily remind some great performers of the past like Moin akhter and Saleem Nasir. Yasir essays his character with originality and with complete gusto. He is a treat to watch, no second opinion. Ahmed Ali as Sam is adorable and shows qualities of a super star who showcases accurate expressions when needed. His cool attitude, lame jokes and body language is just so very believable. Shehzad Sheikh in his second movie has shown huge improvement. His dialogue delivery, diction, fast paced statements and acting skills have multiplied. He can easily be a good comic hero of Pakistani cinema because of his great comic timings. Ayesha Omer is good. She sizzles in the item song "Tutty Fruity". Eshita Syed hams a lot. Javed Sheikh is wasted, he is one fine actor and should be given more screen presence Rasheed Naz is outstanding, each and every of his scene are definitely going to bring laughter and smiles to viewers' faces. As a kid, Ashir Wajahat is good and very confident. Karachi Se Lahore is studded with cameos of Waqar Zaka, Rubya Chaudhry, Ali Hamza, Shiraz Uppal, Shazia Wajahat, Ali Noor etc. Wajahat Rauf has definitely worked hard on the script and filming. Karachi Se Lahore offers a freshness and good script. It's a total entertainer with some great one liners, jokes, and humor that one does not come across in Pakistani cinema. Tutty Fruity, Rabi Ralli and Aaja Re are picks of the lot whereas Lohriya gives the typical Punjabi track. Watch Karachi Se Lahore if you want to laugh out louder and witness how a simple and easy storyline can be engaging and interesting for viewers. Karachi Se Lahore is no PK, Waar, Bajrangi Bhaijaan but it's also nothing less than Na Maloom Afraad, Pyar Ka Punchnama and other hit laugh riots. I would rate it 3.5 out of 5 for fresh humor, Yasir's and Sam's acting.
