[chashmenaaz]

Living wasn't as simple as one could imagine

Paths were divided, destinations unknown

So where has God brought you from?

Have you come across me, out of the blue?

Or have you, out of the blue, decided to come across me?

what do you think of Bilal Ashraf?

I don’t think he’s as bad of an actor as people make him out to be.

Superstar was a treat to watch.

Inherently it’s a simple love story about a star falling in love with a simple girl. She becomes famous along the way and things start to go downhill from there.

But it’s also an ode to theater. How lonely and mediocre stardom is and how essential it is to come back to the self you lost somewhere in between.

In a clever way, it also advocates for a more united film industry. The coexistence of the old and the new was a pleasant surprise. The scenes between Mahira/Bilal with Nadeem Baig, Marina Khan and Javed Sheikh were so endearing... almost as if they were gracefully passing on the mantle with the friendly caution that the new cannot flourish without the old.

The weak areas were some unnecessary scenes that the film could have done without. The acting was good. Music supported the soul of the movie in such a memorable way. There were no unnecessary numbers that comprised the story. I’m still listening to the songs on repeat ❤️

I recommend!
