Moor (meaning Mother in Pashto) is an upcoming Pakistani movie directed by Jamshed Mahmood Khan, also known as Jami and produced by Nadeem Mandviwalla. The film is slated for release on August 14, 2015.
The film has a star cast of Hameed Sheikh, Samiya Mumtaz, Shaz Khan, Abdul Qadir, Sonya Hussyn, Ayaz Samoo, Shabbir Rana, Habib Panazayi and Azlan Shah.
Cinematography by Farhan Hafeez. Music by Strings.

Now with the trailer we get what the movie is about and I was astound by what it has to offer. The pacing plot, the clever dialogues, the attention grabbing music and of course the spot on acting skills of the cast.
We are the at the stage of 'revival of Pakistani cinema' and a revival comes when movies of all sorts are made, We recently had drama, comedy, more comedy, drama and that works but the revival is like a cocktail and a good cocktail needs a balance of flavors and Moor offers us just that. It is subtle, it is sober, it is hardcore and it is serious with all things that make a good feature film; something that moviegoers and movie enthusiasts prefer. Will it be at par with the expectations? I think YES! but time will tell. Bring it on August 14th!
One thing that I personally am looking forward in Moor is the part of staying connected to your roots. Your mother, your nation, your learning and your actions and how it all effects you.
Another fantastic aspect of this movie is its music, that has been composed by Pakistani band Strings, and lyrics by Anwer Maqsood.
Music is an integral dimension of the movie and it sort of makes or breaks certain situations, Moor in this case has the music widely in its favor and as you listen to it, you get to know why!
With music from Strings, you get to hear artists such as Javed Bashir, Meesha Shafi, Rahim Shah, Rahma Ali and Noman Farooqi.
Here's the track by track review:
Jogiya by Javed Bashir: This song is pure gold! It touches you, its the kind of song that you play while on long drives. The feel of the song leaves you speechless and Mr. Bashir's vocals Mr. Maqsood's lyrics take you to another place.
Eva by Meesha Shafi: I call this the star track of the album. Its loud, its amazing, it makes you sing and bang your head. Meesha's vocals work their usual charm and that's why this is easily the summer anthem of the year!
Talabgar Hoon by Javed Bashir: This is a song with a soul. The composition is divine, as are the words. There is a certain feel of hope and faith in this song that is very easy to relate to. Again, Mr. Bashir's vocals work their magic. This song is raw, real and beautiful.
Tum Ho by Strings: This a very sweet offering from the heavy album and it has its own charm with Strings themselves on the vocals. Simple, sweet song with simple lyrics that has its own enchantment to it. Strings' soft track will make you smile.
Gul Bashri by Rahim Shah: This is a strong track and the best part about it is that its language. You may not understand it but you feel its power and its aura with Shah's vocals and the musical arrangement . This track may just portray the essence of the movie.
Jeye Jeye Ja by Rahma Ali, Noman Farooqi and Nisha Ali: Yet another beautiful offering from the album. Its has a very patriotic feel to it. The flute adds an amazing texture to the tone and the soft, melodious vocals compliment the instruments.
Ku Ku Ku by Strings: This is a Strings song through and through! They are totally in their element and the listeners get the early 2000s feel with this track. This is the surprise song of the album. You don't expect this kind of music but it hits you and you groove to it and catch its clever lyrics. Well done, Strings!
Peera Ho by Noman Farooqi: This song may not be a general listener's cup of tea but I'd say it is well aligned with the whole feel of the movie and if one concentrates, the lyrics are divine and the vocals of Farooqi get you through the track if you are about to skip.
Themes 1,2,3,4 and 5: To keep it short, I'd say the themes are magnificent and in a way prepare you for the entire and general feel of the movie itself. Simple, melodious arrangements. I would like to see how they are incorporated in the movie.
Catch MOOR in cinemas on August 14, 2015.

The trailer sets the tone and mood, leaves you wondering and excited and the music grabs your attention. This is a movie not to be missed.
Also, I really thing that we should go out and support our cinema and at least see the hard work that has been put in, not only by the actors and director but the entire team; on and behind the screen, pre and post production. Good luck to the entire team!
