City wars are a never ending phenomenon. Now, we all know how passionate everyone is about their hometowns, even their country. New York vs Los Angeles, London vs Paris, Delhi vs Mumbai, it happens everywhere in the world. Similarly, the eternal tussle between three of Pakistan’s biggest metropolitan cities just keeps on going.
So, MangoBaaz decided to dip our toes in this fire by getting some celebrities to do some roasting.
Ali Safina, Ushna Shah and Uzair Jaswal read out everything that people say on the internet about each other’s cities (yes, woh becharay khud larai nai kara rahay thay bas aap sab ke kahay hue alfaz parh rahay thay). And then they had a little fun with it.
Nothing, and nobody was spared
Like Karachi’s sea
Or Lahori girls having some charbi
Not even Islamabadi burgers were spared
And, boy oh boy, were people fighting
@mangobaaz's video seems to be breaking the internet #oyekuchkarguzar pic.twitter.com/Yxp1Lw6sfH

It was like the hunger games all over again
Ye mangobaaz mukbari kr rhe hain, larayian karwa rhe hain.

Or as if Qayamat had arrived in Pakistan
Mangobaaz bhi qayamat ki nishaniyun mein se aik hai.

Karachi ka uchlo bhi famous ho gaya
"Uchloo araha hai uchloo" When would you stop tafreeh'ing, Karachites?

And everyone jumped in to defend their city

But ultimately, we all know who really won this “war”
These “city wars” and all, they don’t mean anything. They’re just some light-hearted banter (and if you take these silly things too seriously, yaar grow up).
@mangobaaz
No issues.Islamabad wins or karachi/Lahore wins,the best part is ultimately Pakistan is winning;)good luck for #oyekuchkarguzar— Saba Saeed (@saeedsaba26) November 30, 2016
And if you really love Pakistan so much, here’s something that should keep you engaged.
This is Pakistan’s first online film. Ali Safina, Ushna Shah and Uzair Jaswal, all of them are in here, together (not fighting over their cities). And it’s SO MUCH FUN.
Mazay kee baat ye hai, this is only the trailer… picture abhee baaqi hai mere dost 😉
P.S. Here’s a smart suggestion for all the haters out there who’re still not over their hatred
Ab tu kisi actor/actress ki buraye kertay bhi dar lagta hai. Kiya pata Mangobaaz walay zaleel kerwa dain ?
