Asim Raza wants to create this beautiful universe, where the audiences forget about the ills of the world and will on these two foolhardy yet likable characters. Thanks to the production design, costumes, and cinematography, the music he makes the film look sublime. If you are spending your time in a flooded Karachi, the film will help you remember a cleaner world which is a lie. However, in the creation of this cinematic universe, some liberties have been taken which make the film a little too filmy and overdramatic. Plus, the film takes its sweet time in getting to its all too predictable conclusion. Pakistani movies need a narrative rather than a gigantic fancy circus.

Parey Hut Love is a story of the personal struggles of Shehreyar (Shehreyar Munawar) and Sania (Maya Ali). Shehreyar is a struggling actor, and due to a perturbed childhood, he is unsure about his own value in life. His support system includes Arshad and Shaboo (Ahmed Ali Butt and Zara Noor Abbas). While, on the face of it, the duo is there to generate some laughs. However, they are life’s anchors for our hero and playing a key role in story development. However, Shehreyar’s relationship with his parents (Dilpazeer and Munawar Alam Siddiqui) is strained. The conflict has been explored well.
Shehreyar sees Sania at a wedding. A mesmerizing shot, one has come to expect from perhaps Sanjay Leela Bansali, makes Maya Ali looks at all kinds of majestic. The aim is clear, make the audience (and obviously Shehreyar) fall in love with the leading lady. The next bit is spent on developing this love story. Sania, daughter of a famous writer played by Nadeem Baig, does believe in dreams and 1st love. Yet, her outlook towards life is a lot different than Shehreyar. It's those differences which take us to the next phases of the film (it's divided into 4 weddings and a funeral).

All in all, it is a movie full of flaws. Better scripting and acting was required to match the grandeur of its setting. The director sticks to what is conventional at least with the story. So while the film looks dazzling, you don't feel connected to the characters as much.
But if you have spent a few days in Karachi, this could be a welcome break from the pungent smells and horrors of urban flooding and Bakra eid.
