Mahira's acting is same .. what so ever. Bored of her monotony . They should have selected some other actress who is versatile. May be Iqra Aziz or Sanam Baloch .

Mahira Khan as Lieutenant General Nigar Johar, the first woman to be promoted to the rank of three-star general in the Pakistan Army is a poor choice. At best she will bring down the august image of the accomplished General Johar and of the Pakistan military.

waste of good topic, by selecting mahira for this role. Nice thinking though on part of writer about the legend. But mahira will make it ordinary.

Mahira and robotic world are intertwined when she acts or at least tries to act. Due mahira its rating will not be good one.

so an army employee is a hero for no reason? what great achievement she has except for a regular government employee who was promoted to the rank of a general. We need stories of inventors, scientists, intellectuals, self-made industrialists - they are ealö heros, not a govt employee.
