It was a Bipasha movie all the way. Imran was hardly there in the theatrical edition and I agree about the music...it is very soothing. Imran has done a decent job in the past in serials like malaal, mera naseeb and a few others but I have always felt he is over hyped. He has definitely chosen a wrong script also Bipasha has no audience pull at the moment and Imran is a newcomer. So, the opening was bound to be low but the film is getting terrible terrible reviews from the critics which has further hampered his chances in BW.

Honestly, I would like to say is that Imran's character was not well written here!
As I have seen his work in Mera Naseeb and Meri Zaat Zarra... I know the fact that he can do much better than that, even though I can't call him a world class actor.It was just hard luck that he didn't get a part to explore his talent.If we don't get judgmental and jingoistic, we will understand that in India movies flourish more than TV, while in Pakistan dramas are more worked upon since the movie going audience is less there and they prefer entertainment within their homes.Hence movies look better in India while Pakistani dramas are better.But that should not discourage the exchange of art. If some people are saying that he was better off here and should not have moved out of his comfort zone to work there, this will only hamper the constructive exchange process. I won't defend Indian viewers either, after seeing countless comments on Khoobsurat and Creature trailer videos on why they ha to "import" an actor and if the ones in India were not good enough.Even Hollywood has "imported" our actors and given them meaty roles. Does that mean they lack talent?What our film makers need to understand is that casting as per character is needed and only talent needs to matter!!!

My apologies. I am not well versed in indian entertainment industry but my comments are based on my general observations from my surroundings but i do feel that my opinion on Pakistani actors not getting any solid roles is true.
Imran Abbs and Fawad Khan are pretty much on the same scale when it comes to acting. There aren't much differences. There was once a time when Imran Abbas was as famous as fawad is now, and i believe general population's opinion on actors accounts a lot when it comes to reviews and popularity of a show/movie.

Imran Abbas didn't do any impressive work in pakistani dramas so forget about movies. I personally feel he's hyped because of his cute face. The current pakistani actors are way talented than him.
You can't expect indian audience to give Imran a 5 star just because he's big in Pakistan. They don't know him and from what they have seen of his acting there's was nothing to impress...But on the other hand they love Fawad, not just his good looks but his work too, so far.And i keep reading some say why pakistani actors go to Bollywood or why are they not treated right, or why they don't have big roles ????? Why why whyWill first of all no one is forced to come to Bollywood or Hollywood. It's up to them to chose the right project and work with the right people. At the end of the day they are actors be itAishwarya who tried in Hollywood but failed or the mega star Amitabh bachchan in his 5 minute role in "The great Gatsby" or Anil Kapoor in his 2-3 scenes in "Slumdog Millionaire". They are actors and try different kind of work, what's wrong in that ? So why when a pakistani actors try to work else where, there'so much of criticism ?When Adnan Siddiqui did a small role in "The Mighty heart". How come that was okay ? Because it was Hollywood USA and not India ?

I liked Imran Abbas in Akbari Asghari as well as in Malaal. He was very good. But IMO he's not an outstandingly versatile actor like many others.I completely agree with kareena05 above. No one is forcing anyone to come to BW. I don't understand this whole attitude of "Indians will not give good or big roles/importance/hit movies/respect etc"Imran chose the movie. No Pakistani chose it for him and no Indian forced him to take it up.Every Indian actor also struggle for years to make his/her mark or a blockbuster hit. Why do people think that anyone, especially if it is a Pak star, that he or she will be awarded a blockbuster in the very 1st project?Indian stars are not spared when they are no good in their movies, what makes one think that Imran will be spared? If he's not good, its going to be said.I suppose if Khoobsurat is a hit, we'll hear that it was so because of Fawad, as Sonam has never given a hit on her doing. But if its a flop, it will be India giving Fawad a "flower pot" role!About time that this be looked at more objectively than revolve around "this is India's doing to Pak stars"
