Snowcapped mountains, train tracks and a panoramic Baluchistan. The new trailer of Moor is all about visual designs.

“Ye Watan se muhabat, pyar wyar, parhnay mein to buhat acha lagta hai. Par milta kuch nahin hai. ”

Snobby men in suits, urban backdrops and wide closed-up dialogue scenes. We experienced this modern/ post-modern style of film-making in Bilal Lashari’s Waar, highest grossing Pakistani film of all time, followed by Yasir Jaswals thriller Jalaibee. But, Quid pro Quo. Both Waar and Jalaibee felt a little short of perfection. The directors had to sacrifice story and acting, respectively, to accommodate the amazing cinematography and visuals. However this Independence Day we will be experiencing similar cinematic visuals in Jami’s drama film Moor.

Jami who has previously directed Operation O21 started working on Moor in 2007 and it took almost 6 years for the first trailer to come out. The film, which was shot in remote areas of Baluchistan and urban settings like Karachi, covers several different pages of history especially the closure of Zhob Valley in 1984. It stars Hammed Sheikh (Operation O21), Samiya Mumtaz, Abdul Qadir who hails from Quetta, and Ayaz Samoo as the villain. Hammed Sheikh, who describes the role as “genuinely challenging”, and Samiya Mumtaz have been always been critic’s favorite so you should expect some acting treat adorned by the panoramic depiction of Baluchistan.

The film is set to feature lyrics of Pakistani Legend Anwar Maqsood and music by Strings who have previously composed the theme for My Name is Khan and are currently creating music for Coke Studio. While there is still some time before the music comes out watch these two trailers to get a glimpses of Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadia (Strings) composition. 

I know the trailers have kept you wanting for more so do not miss an opportunity to catch a show in a cinema near you this Independence Day, 14th August 2015.
