com/watch?v=V0Hm1OQokXM Zain (Osama Tahir) and Tania (Mansha Pasha), who are on the verge of separation, plan a farewell road trip for Resham (Syra Shahroz)

They plan on going from Karachi to Resham’s hometown, Hunza

Along for the ride is their childhood friend, Faraz (Faris Khalid) and a Chinese tourist, Adam (Kent S Leung)

He doesn’t speak Urdu, and his English isn’t that great either

But despite the language barrier, we see love blossoming between Resham and him

As the movie progresses, as does their love, Resham asks her father (Behroz Subzwari) to meet Adam to decide their fate

Let’s just say the first impression does not sit well, and Resham’s father tells Adam to stay in a camp outside his house until he earns his trust

Unfortunately, Adam must return home to look after his ailing mother

Chalay Thay Saath is beautifully shot, and a great documentary on Hunza, Giglit, and the northern areas of Pakistan, but when it comes to viewing it as an actual movie, it lacks a lot

The dialogue is average, albeit fresh

However, they are easily forgettable

Conversely, music cannot make a movie great as it requires more than just appealing sounds

As for the direction, it is evidently decent; Adil has enacted the aesthetic beauty of the north remarkably

Shahroz gives a good performance and looks gorgeous on-screen, but she wasn’t given any opportunities to prove her mettle as a performer

Kent is fresh and innocent; he effortlessly pulls off his character

Khalid has a very strong screen presence and is good “hero-material”

Pasha performs affably well, but she seems to go overboard in a few of her scenes

Tahir played his part decently also

Subzwari is just average, maybe a little more persuasiveness on his part could have gone a long way

Chalay Thay Saath is the kind of film that makes you feel good because of its theme and how visually appealing it is

However, it does drag on quite a bit and it isn’t exactly believable at some points

For a 28-year-old girl who is apparently a doctor, some of Sharoz’s scenes are hard to digest

Thus, it offers little, if any repeat value

At the box office, it will definitely have to face a rough sail
