5 things we're looking forward to in 'Teefa in Trouble'

The film is set to hit screens on July 20

KARACHI: This year has witnessed a number of local releases and it looks like it's not going to stop anytime soon. The Ali Zafar and Maya Ali-starrer Teefa in Trouble is set to hit screens on July 20 and we cannot wait to watch it. Taking cue from the recently released trailer, here is a list of five things to look forward to in Ahsan Rahim's directorial film debut.

1. Women in action

SCREENGRAB

Unlike other Pakistani films, Teefa in Trouble does not only show the male lead in action but also shows a strong female figure taking matters into her own hands. Anya (Maya) can be seen drifting across roads and handling weapons on her own. She's also often found smashing glass bottles on people's heads.

2. Exotic locations

SCREENGRAB

The film is shot in Lahore while capturing the beauty of the Walled City perfectly. However, as Teefa (Ali) travels to Poland, the views are to die for. From cityscape to country-side shots, the film seems to be a picturesque one.

3. Music

SCREENGRAB

Now it's no surprise that Ali excels in his forte of music and singing - which means you can expect really good music in Teefa in Trouble. There's also a dance number in the film and surprisingly, it's NOT an item number!

4. Drama and comedy

SCREENGRAB

No desi film is complete without some drama, however, Teefa in Trouble appears to comprise just the right amount. Ahsan seems to have conveyed his message in a very subtle fashion. Moreover, having Faisal Qureshi in the film means guaranteed fits of laughter.

5. Cast

Since the teaser of Teefa in Trouble came out on February 22, the production house has been repeatedly revealing the actors that one can expect to see in the film. Apart from Ali, Maya and Faisal, Javed Sheikh, Asma Abbas, Simi Rahael, Nayyar Ejaz, Mehmood Aslam and Sofia Khan will be seen in titular roles. Tom Coulston who has worked in Hollywood films such as Skyfall and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is set to make his Pakistani film debut as Andy.
