First up, I have to confess I'm not your typical Urdu movie watcher. I'm a white British guy who just happens to love Bollywood films.

I went with my wife to see this and we both laughed out loud at various bits. I thought the storyline was good; lighthearted and filled with opportunities for a laugh. One of the other reviewers says it was predictable, which I find odd. What exactly are they expecting. It's good old fashioned comedy not high drama.

The acting was, on the whole, excellent. Yes, there was a little over-acting from some people, but that just added to the fun.

Seeing the movie through Western eyes did make me feel there was quite a lot of male chauvinism, particularly how the father treat his wife and the respect he didn't show for his daughter in law, and I was a little taken a back that a suicide bomber could be used in such a humorous way, but on reflection, I figure this was, in some ways a cultural reference that was lost on me.

I've given it a 7/10 and I feel it definitely deserves that. I would definitely go see another Urdu film on the back of this one.

Well Well Well, I must say the film was average,but yeah; it was much more then i expected it to be.

1st of all,the story is pretty much old ghissi pitti.The same plot has been used in plenty of movies. If you are a story person, Wrong Number offers you nothing new. If only for entertainment, A few comedy kicks, funny familial issues and most of all the Essence of Karachi is what this movie offer you.

Regarding Cast; Previously,i thought that no actor in todays lollywood league has the ability to lead in big-screen alone(excluding a few), but i was wrong, Danish Taimoor got the guts to capture and run the movie by his name, and convince population to watch the the movie for his sake. Still, he got to sharpen his acting skills,he was good in Jalaibi and in Wrong Number, but i think he has much more potential.

Javed Shiekh,no doubt is a brilliant actor.He merged in the role of Karachi Bhayyia, sarcastically with character of a butcher & a hardcore father. His way of handling family matters with plenty of awesome comedy punches is what i liked the most.

I think there was no need of the underworld characters other then Shafqat Cheema, he alone could have done the role much betterly, the remaining underworld cast kinda screwed his bad-guy singularity.

The female leads were fine,but i think they could have cast better actresses. Yes these girls are pretty, but none of them knows how to act.

What i liked was the acting, dialogs & accent of few characters. Overall, wrong number is a good one time watch. As a supporter of Pakistani cinema, i recommend you to watch it.

A perfect release for the joyous occasion of Eid. Wrong Number upstaged biggies from Lollywood (Bin Roye), Bollywood (Bajrangi Bhai Jaan) and Hollywood (Antman) and emerged as the surprise leader of the movies released during the extended Eid Holidays. The script is mindless but comedy is generally first rate and pace is fast. References to country's and especially Karachi's unique problems are numerous and delightful. "Khaal sirf bhai logon ko jayegi ...".The scene of child and the barber is hilarious. Music is a definite weak link so is the back ground score. A refreshing entertainer which continues the revival of Pakistani cinema.

Just when I think Pakistani movies are heading in the right direction they come up with stuff like this.

"If you can't beat them, join them", this was what Mr and Mrs Nawaz thought after watching a modern Bollywood comedy and they probably said to their selves, "why can't we get away with this, Sajid Khan did, and it's not like the people in Pakistan have any more sense then those in India. Why go through the effort of building an entire film when you can just get a cheap script, fill it with dirty humor and two item songs and we have ourselves 130 minutes of utter nonsense" and that's when they decided to make this piece of crap they so proudly call a movie.

This movie has nothing going for it, the plot, the acting, the screenplay, the direction, nothing is worth mentioning and there was absolutely no character development or chemistry whatsoever in fact I've seen cave paintings with better stories than this movie.

Coming back to the inappropriate jokes/scenes, two families with little kids walked out of the theater halfway through the movie. If this is Nida Yasir's idea of a family film after years of doing a morning show then God help us.

Last year it was Na Maloom Afraad and now this, these "commercial movies" aren't really aiding the resurrection of Lollywood, they're just stabbing it in the face with a blunt knife.

I recently watch this movie, I should say the director of the movie did a great job. One of the good movies produced by Pakistan. Actors did a brilliant job. Pakistan movies were not generally did good in the past, But here it is a new life in Pakistan film industry. Although there are some words that refer some idiot actors of Bollywood are not actually well appreciated but in the end it was a good movie. Songs are good and well performed. Movie starts with great Pakistan anthem and well appreciated. One of the best thing about this movie is, it is not longer movie like 3 hr. I should recommend my friends to watch this good movie that really make you happy.

Such a bad film. Thank God I didn't watch it in cinema. It's a torture. Lousy script and bad comedy. A pain to watch. Such a terrible film

Well I watched it twice just because it was a light and funny movie, no need to pay for movies where you sit and cry, i prefer pay and laugh scenarios. I think director have nailed it what they wanted to produce they have produced, the movie was made to make people laugh and it does just that. There are no serious moment in the movie and Pakistani people have enough seriousness to worry about when they step back in the real world. Sit back and laugh a little and watch this movie without high expectations. You will enjoy it. Some jokes are a little over the top but hey we watch way too bigger crap in Hollywood and Bollywood movies. Supporting Pakistani Cinema all the way.

I dont think it even deserves a 1 star rating. But again everone has a different opinion . Yasir Nawaz has quite well established himself as the slayer of expectations of Pakistani Film lovers with his tatti films
