What's the opinion?

Did you like her work?

It seems divided.. while everyone called her pretty, some said she cant emote and some said she stood on her ground well.

DAMN!!!! The critics are ruthlessly dragging her. She looked off in the promos but i was expecting much better than this. Shows that TV and Film are different mediums and even if you are a good actor on TV doesn't mean you'll be one on Film.

But she isn't a good actor on even the TV...Of course I can only claim to have watched one drama of hers(humsafar) and clearly she is the weakest actress in that drama and made some of the crying and emotional scenes cringeworthy and awkward...

I have seen a couple of her dramas and i guess you are right. She is the same in every one of them. Saba Qamar is a much better actress but she is the Deepika of Pakistan when it comes to chichorapan.

More than Saba I like and absolutely love Sanam Baloch...I may have seen every drama she acted in and must say she is a gem of an actress...Wonder why Mahira gets all the attention when there are other better actresses...😕

Yeah Sanam is the innocent type. IMO Mahira is pretty and has great on screen presence and that is one of the main reasons for her popularity, other than Humsafar of course (which i should watch one of these days).

Yeah apparently so. I haven't read one positive review for her.

She has the same expression on her face... no wonder she is not getting good reviews... I never found her to be a good actress...

Having said that, she seems to have a uni-dimensional and flowerpot role in the movie, so not sure how much scope that gives

She has got poor reviews...I am not surprised as she is one of the worst actresses of Pakistan. If they wanted a Pakistani there are much more better ones from there. Or else like Dangal SRK should have gone for an Indian TV actress.

Her performance in a role that demands nothing is not a surprise as she had a difficult time emoting apparently while shooting. She has used her BW debut in Pakistan to keep other talented and deserving actresses out of every award contention and swallowed up everything that was there to swallow in terms of awards and honors. It is perhaps ironical now looking at the reviews she is getting. Even Mawra got much better reviews for a poor film.

SRK's Raees Girl Has Teething Problems

It happens

Now it can be disclosed. Pakistan's charismatic actress, Mahira Khan, went through a gruelling period of adjustment while shooting for the initial shooting schedules of her Bollywood debut vehicle Raees, in which she teams up with Shah Rukh Khan.

It has been learnt that the camera and sound crews of Raees had a tough time, ensuring that Mahira faced the lighting correctly and that her voice was properly recorded for the on-the-spot sync sound.

Often, the actress' face tended to be in the shadows while her dialogue was so soft that she had to be requested to raise her voice so that she was audible. This inevitably required retakes galore.

All's well though. With patience and constant encouragement from director Rahul Dholakia and Shah Rukh, she has delivered an impactful performance in the scenes assigned to her till now. The next Raees schedule is expected to start in October.

According to an eyewitness at the shooting spells of Raees, "At the outset, Mahira did seem to be a problem, technically. Perhaps that was because our style of filmmaking demands immediate dialogue clarity and the skill to come off in a flattering light before the camera."

The 30-year-old television and film actress has impressed audiences at home and in India, thanks largely to the film Bol which was released in India, as well as the TV series Humsafar that became a rage with Asian viewers the world over.
