Boasting glitz, glamour, razzmatazz and pomp at its high-flying red carpet premiere in Karachi’s Capri Cinema, Dekh Magar Pyaar Sey welcomed the glitterati of Pakistan’s entertainment industry for the candid screening of its much-hyped, rom-com tale.
The summer entertainer is penned down by the writer of “Karachi! You’re Killing Me”, Saba Imtiaz while the directorial duty resided in the hands of the notorious ad-filmmaker Asad-ul-Haq.

The movie marks the debut of Pakistan’s hottest bachelors, budding entrepreneur Sikandar Rizvi, grandson of the ‘Malika-e-Tarannum’ Noor Jehan. Sharing the screen with him is none other than the sultry and stunning, Humaima Malik.
What’s more, the love story set in Lahore flaunts cameos by Humayun Saeed, Hassan Sheheryar Yasin and Meera along with a sizzling item number by Aamna Ilyas.

However according to the reviews on Twitter, the movie has been unsuccessful in working its magic over the box-office.
@AsadUHaq failed miserably while putting up a high budget fashion show on big screen! #DMPS

#DMPS : The direction was superb, acting was superb .. The only thing missing in the movie was story !! Yet a big applause for a struggle!! — Faizan Buksh (@FaizanBuksh) August 16, 2015
My take on #DMPS, first half looked like Sprite’s TVC. A bit of Jab We Met, mixed with Banti aur Babli. Not bad for time pass. #Lollywood

Fancy shots, neon lights and vintage cars don’t make a movie. You need half decent actors at least #MatDekhMujhay #DMPS — Shaheryar Popalzai (@spopalzai) August 16, 2015
#DMPS humaima is annoying in fhe first half. @sikanderrizvi reflects boy next door well but director could have altered talking to camera

First half of #DekhMagarPyaarSay umaima malik’s overacting is killing me

#DekhMagarPyaarSay is terribly unfunny. Is it because we can’t do non-cynical humour or is it just playing to the lowest denominator stuff? — Asfandyar Khan (@asfand) August 15, 2015
So much potential, everything on fleek, just couldn’t bring it in one place and make a bang #DMPS

#DekhMagarPyaarSay was an utter disappointment. There was no flow or story whatsoever! @HumaimaMalick put in her best effort though. #DMPS — Shehryar Ali (@shehryar_aly) August 15, 2015
very weird how story of #DekhMagarPyaarsay is still as mysterious even after the release. Nothing given out #DMPS

@dmpsthemovie@SabaImtiaz U Can’t rescue a bad story, ZERO narrative & no character development with candy color Sets! #DekhMagarPyaarSay
