Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar Candid Critique about the movie Love Guru – Confesses to walk out during interval
Elder playwright and writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, famous for his frank views and imposing writing, hit the headlines yet again after announcing in a recent interview that he walked out of the movie Love Guru the much-hyped Eid-ul-Adha 2025 release featuring Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed.
Qamar wasn’t shy about sharing his views when he expressed himself in no uncertain terms, “I didn’t like the film at all.” In his opinion, he got out of the cinema during the interval, making it obvious that the tale and presentation did not appeal to him. His comments have initiated discussions on social media, where fans are arguing whether his criticism is based on personal taste, professional expectations, or his past with Mahira Khan.
Love Guru: A Polarizing Release
Released around the holiday season, Love Guru promised to attract huge crowds with its celebrity cast and box office pull. Although the film did well in opening weekend numbers, feedback has varied from enjoying its light-hearted fare to panning its plot and direction.
Qamar’s dramatic walkout has only added fuel to the debate. Some of his fans praise his candor, but others think that his objection is inspired by his earlier public disagreements with the film’s top star, Mahira Khan.
Mahira Khan’s Candid Insight
Interestingly, just as Qamar’s comments stirred debate, Mahira Khan shared her own candid thoughts in a podcast appearance. She revisited her much-discussed conflict with Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar from years ago, when their disagreement had played out publicly.
This time, though, Mahira went soft, acknowledging that she might have done the situation differently. “I should have reconciled our differences in private and not online,” she acknowledged. Her introspection reflected maturity and the willingness to leave behind past rivalries that had once divided the showbiz community.
Even while she owned up to her regrets, Mahira also acknowledged Qamar’s unparalleled work in Pakistani television and film, demonstrating how respect is possible even in the face of artistic differences.
A Tale of Two Perspectives
The two headlines—Qamar’s stinging rebuff of Love Guru and Mahira’s thoughtful recognition portray an intriguing picture of the entertainment landscape in Pakistan. It is a place where ego, creativity, and openness to vulnerability always converge.
Qamar, as an author who has contributed to the industry some of its most iconic works, has always cared more about the quality of the story than about stars. Mahira, meanwhile, remains the embodiment of resilience, charisma, and change within a cutthroat business. Their current public words reveal not only the tension but also the human aspect of creative partnerships and disputes.
Industry Lessons
Though Qamar’s words might burn for the Love Guru crew, his honesty might encourage directors to change the way they tell stories. Meanwhile, Mahira’s introspection is a reminder that public spats can trump art and that reconciliation if not respect is possible in order to open the door to more wholesome industry dynamics.
Both instances point out that Pakistan’s entertainment industry flourishes on courageous voices and introspection. Whether or not an individual agrees with Qamar’s criticism or Mahira’s confession, the debate itself shows the zeal that propels the industry ahead.
The Love Guru scandal isn’t so much about a movie review it’s about the convergence of honesty, humility, and artistry in Pakistani media. Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar might have exited the cinema, but his words kept the film in the limelight. Mahira Khan, on the other hand, reminded viewers that progress comes with admitting past errors.
Collectively, their stories prove that it is never about the screen alone it’s about the individuals behind it, their decisions, and their lives.
