It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I was sitting tight for this motion picture. I believed that this will be the film as Shermeen Oboid Chenoi talks about this. In any case, in all honesty it is disillusioning on all fronts. On top of that it is all the more baffling that it is send as official chosen one in Foundation Honors from Pakistan for Outside motion picture. No plot, bearing as week (one can live with that as it is the first offering from Aafia however it is awful, genuine terrible) and it all has neither rhyme nor reason. Story meanders unexpectedly with defining moments so wayward that towards end it lost all. There is no acting. A genuine misuse of all the huge names in film. Additionally, throwing could have been something more,as Pakistani situation is worst about the women and due to poor governance and lack of education so in this circumstances this movie has brought a revolutionary changes in the people mind in Pakistan and most important and they put a great work on costumes etc which is i think they got from http://www.fashion2015-2016.com you can see their costumes in it and check their simplicity in their work due to their smart work thats why they got hit film in Pakistan

too often I end up going to cinema watching a Hollywood movie you pay £10 for and its rubbish. Dukhtar barely made any noise in Marketing when it came out, I had to go find out the details myself, but its a gem. Part of "the new wave of Pakistani Cinema", this movie along with others like Waar, Bol and Khuda ke liyeh are making a name and quality niche for Pakistan's film industry. It seems to have been released in very small circulation in the UK as Pakistani films are not always in demand, but I highly recommend everyone to watch it. If like me you like movies with different stories, not the usual bollywood dance and dishoom trash, this should be your next movie. It appeals as it's a very Pakistani story and one that opens a door to world about women's lives in Pakistan.If you are thinking about watching a movie, don't miss this one.

Beautiful & Colorful Movie. Specially the Natural Beauty of Northern Areas of Pakistan makes it a treat for the eyes.This can be the best source to Promote the Tourism in Pakistan.with some improvements & proper marketing this movie can be 1000s times better. it has beautiful songs but in movie they are only few seconds long. at some places it becomes slight boring due to lack of background music & sound effects.till now i think its the only choice for Pakistani Nomination for Oscars this yearp.s its not a common commercial type movie, its something like Pakistani TV Drama with a message for everyone.

Last year's Waar made headlines everywhere because of the jingoistic message it brought. Dukhtar (Daughter) has so far been quite a mellow affair, partly because of its dealing with the poignant issue of child marriage in Pakistan's rural areas.Shot absolutely beautifully in the North of the country, it is a story about the fierce love of a mother who is not about to give off her young daughter's hand in marriage to settle a tribal dispute.One of the best things about this movie is that it doesn't get monotonous. The director, Afia, does an excellent job in keeping the story fast-paced with a load of twists and turns despite the relatively banal topic of the flick.Acting-wise, I was impressed with all the performances except probably that of Mohib Mirza, the truck driver from Punjab. I think he wasn't the right-fit for the role because he visibly struggles to generate that Punjabi pang expected from him. However, this shouldn't be a hindrance in watching the film because the dialog is carried more than aptly by the rest of the cast.The songs are refreshing, which brings me to another good point about the film; they don't last for an eternity and just are fleeting occurrences during scenes to accentuate the emotions.All in all, Dukhtar is easily the best film to come out of Pakistan in 2014. It might not see the commercial success of Waar but it's story is infinitely better. A must see.
