Despite a lackluster start, this documentary redeems itself by the finale.

Rating: 3/4 --
A somewhat shaggy structure finds its footing in the film's second half. And the moment when we hear a sitar move seamlessly from an Eastern melody into the opening notes of Dave Brubeck's Take Five is one of pure symphonic bliss.

Rating: B --
The film ends on an upbeat note, but it is not easy being a musician in Pakistan. In the film, a musician points to an article in a Lahore newspaper about a musician who was murdered, just because he was a musician.

Music aside, this Pakistani "Buena Vista Social Club" is a testament to the enduring potency of creative expression.

Like a Pakistani "Buena Vista Social Club," "Song of Lahore" pays tribute to some great, unsung musicians and their perseverance in tough times.

The musicians have fascinating stories to tell, combining to give Song of Lahore its rich narrative. Their joy at exploring Times Square is a highlight.
