KARACHI:

Two teenagers, a VCR, and the backdrop of the 90s - these are the elements that make up the trailer of Nabeel Qureshi's Na Baligh Afraad. Aptly titled, the trailer suggests a narrative that follows two young boys as they navigate the perils of being on the cusp of adulthood, with a "daring mission" on the horizon.

The film promises a refreshing journey back to the vibrant 90s, encapsulated with youthful exuberance and quirky charm. Set amidst the backdrop of a colourful and nostalgic era, the trailer hints at a plot rich in curiosity and innocence, with the protagonists hopping aboard a thrilling escapade without fully understanding the consequences that lie ahead.

There's something about the trailer that just clicks. Whether it's the decade's distinctive flavour, from fashion to technology, which sets the stage, or the leading duo - it seems like a collective of intriguing decisions led to the culmination of the spectacle that is slated for an Eidul Azha release.

It's exceedingly refreshing to see Samar Jafri and Aashir Wajahat star as the film's adorable young duo. Their chemistry is palpable, bringing a smile to one's face from the trailer alone, as they navigate the tumultuous transition from adolescence to adulthood. It's worthwhile to note that there is something magnetic about their on-screen charm, that itches one's curiosity.

Samar and Aashir's infectious energy is complemented by Aadi Adeal Amjad, whose impeccable comic timing completes the trio. Their interactions promise a blend of humour and heart, essential elements in a coming-of-age story. The trailer showcases moments of camaraderie and hilarity, suggesting that the film will strike a balance between light-hearted fun and deeper, emotional undertones.

A VCR, a beloved nod to the 90s, appears as a central motif in the trailer, hinting at a mystery and drama yet to be fully unveiled. The VCR's significance in the story adds an intriguing layer to the plot, inviting viewers to speculate and anticipate its role in the unfolding adventure.

The trailer also teases a host of "villains" that the trio will encounter, each adding to the film's excitement and sense of adventure. The theme of growing up through a series of antics is central to the plot, reflecting the universal experience of adolescence.

With its promise of nostalgia, humour, and a heartwarming tale of friendship and growth, Na Baligh Afraad is poised to be a fun, quirky spectacle. The trailer's youthful energy and vibrant recreation of the 90s era suggest that the film will be a welcome breath of fresh air in contemporary cinema.
