Introducing Faisal Qureshi from Ufone Ads is an understatement. His brilliance started before that. He made the childhood of kids growing up in the 90s special with his TV show 'Video Junction,' co-hosted by Ahmed Ibrahim. He also created the cricket 🏏 song "Khel" with Jawad Bashir and starred in the drama series "Kollege Jeans" by Syed Nini.

Sir Junaid, I m a big fan of the content you produce. However, in this podcast, you were talking more than the guest. You were talking about your own experiences and movies you watched most of the time. Living legend was sitting next to you, and we wanted to hear more from him. This being said, please keep up the good work and keep motivating/educating us.

Well first time Junaid Akram is not impressive in this interview because he is telling his stories to the guest himself. There is no comparison between Junaid Akram and Faisal Qureshi, there is a lots of difference between their talents and struggles. Comparing your personality with a great artist like Faisal Qureshi is not fair. Anyway Good effort that remind our generation about the paradigm shift Faisal Qureshi and company did.....

After watching this interview, I jumped to the trailer, and here are my thoughts about the trailer of Money Back Gurentee. "I'm uncertain about the movie itself, but the trailer is disappointing. It fails to provide a clear idea of what the movie is about. The trailer mainly consists of dialogue-free scenes that don't effectively depict the story. There are moments where the music suggests something significant will be explained, but it abruptly transitions to louder music, resulting in a noisy clip rather than an informative trailer."
