Fawad has shed his chocolate hero avatar here and still looks like a million bucks. The first half is engaging as we get to know about Jatt’s family life while the Natts are boundlessly wreaking havoc despite rifts in the clan. Read: Fans root for The Legend of Maula Jatt ahead of its release Every serious exchange comes after an amusing verbal brawl and is followed by an action-laden dramatic scene, so as to keep you hooked. The film is edited so brilliantly that it keeps you on the edge of your seat while Punjabi barraks and one-liners serve as breathers. It has a linear narrative and takes only a few minutes to show a background story – the death of Maula’s parents, kidnapping of Rajjo, Daro’s birth – while moving forward with the subject. With remarkable visuals, awe-inspiring performances, clap worthy dialogues, thoroughly etched out characters, crisp editing and high production value, the team has delivered a spectacle in the form of TLOMJ. Troubled by his unknown past, Maula becomes a drunkard who fights in matches to earn money and is adored by Mukhoo (Mahira Khan) since childhood. The child, who is a son of a brave Sardar, grows up with a hidden identity and becomes a seemingly silent but fierce warrior. Maula is traumatized by lost memories of the brutal murder of his parents and is haunted by dreams he doesn’t understand. The Punjabi film revolves around the life of Maula Jatt (Fawad Khan), an orphan raised by Daani (Raheela Agha) along with her son Mooda (Faris Shafi). And alongside meaningful life lessons, the plot is driven by good-ol‘ virtue wins over evil mantra. It is a tall tale that has an invincible but king-hearted hero, ferocious villains, blood, gore, glory, romance, bromance, marauding horses, gandasa fights and deaths in the most vehement ways. TLOMJ is a blend extraordinaire of well executed CGI and extravagant sets that showcase a fictional land in Punjab, whereby lies Nasir Adeeb’s famous characters from the Maula Jatt universe. And each one of them – from the inception, the team who toiled behind the camera to those who performed in front of the camera – deserves a standing ovation for bearing the weight of a crown that today dazzle as The Legend of Maula Jatt (TLOMJ). Bilal is indeed the mastermind behind this universe, but the charge of a cinematic masterpiece like The Legend of Maula Jatt relies heavily on every warrior who is a part of the reboot of this cult classic. Heavy is the head that wears the crown the statement reverberates in mind as I witness Bilal Lashari’s magnum opus finally unravel on big screen.
