Can 'Heer Maan Ja' make us laugh more than its teaser?

Hareem Farooq and Ali Raheem Khan have serious on-screen chemistry, but the trailer isn't exactly hilarious.

Parchi duo Hareem Farooq and Ali Rehman Khan are back to enthrall us with the trailer of Heer Maan Ja.

The preview of the film isn't exactly hilarious, but we can't judge it just yet as the less than two-minute clip leaves us anticipating what's next.

Hareem and Ali sizzle the screen with their on-screen chemistry, giving the teaser some much-needed zest.  Although it doesn't reveal much of the storyline, apart from 'a love story that has a past', cute one-liners are seen and action-packed scenes that get us excited.  Sassy conversations between the two are noted (we all got to love a bit of sass), as well as an energetic dance scene.  The very dramatic car act with the duo also seems to symbolise their love story is a very bumpy ride.  Hareem is also shown in a shaadi dress with a pair of white joggers, and Ali looking very muddled. Which, seems to set the scene of almost the entire trailer - a bit muddling.

Farah Khan has a good idea for 'Main Hoon Na 2'

Earlier in the year, Hareem said her character Heer is a textile designer with a sweet soul. Ali plays an uber-confident go-getter who continually runs into bad luck.

Heer Maan Ja boasts of a star-studded cast. So far, Aamina Sheikh, Ali Kazmi and Ahmed Ali Akbar can be seen. The 90’s Lollywood starlet Zara Sheikh also makes a big comeback.

Heer Maan Ja doesn't seem like as much of a rom-com as it might be an action comedy, with a lack of romantic scenes.  However, the trailer seemed to be met with a positive response so far as it trended on Twitter after an hour of its release.

The blockbuster is directed by Azfar Jafri and produced by IRK Films and Arif Lakhani Films; the flick will hit cinemas on Eid-ul-Azha 2019.
