If you have never been to northern areas, specifically Gilgit and Skardu, Umar Adil’s Chalay Thay Saath is recommended for you. The movie is a visual treat with catchy soundtracks if you have never been to the locations where it is shot. But, in other situation, it fails to give any other good reason which worth your money and time.
Chalay Thay Saath stars Syra Shahroz in a lead role as Resham opposite Canadian artist Kent S Leung and Behroz Sabzwari, Zhalay Sarhadi, Mansha Pasha, Osama Tahir, Faris Khalid and Shamim Halai in supporting roles.
The story of the movie has Syra as a doctor coming back to her hometown in Gilgit along with her friends Mansha Pasha and Osama Tahir, a couple struggling to save their marriage. The group is accompanied by an unwanted guy Faris, Tahir’s school friend and acquaintance Shamim Halai, an old mother trying to enjoy her life far from her disobedient sons. It is the weakest component of the film. Characters are not properly built and a couple of them are there for no good reasons.
Once again, we are disappointed. Once again, we are hoping that the next film will do good. And once again, we are hoping against the hope. There is nothing more we would like to add in our review for Chalay Thay Saath.
Rating: 2/5
