Hamraaz (1967)
Khurshid Anwar’s Hamraaz provides an excellent example of a film artist’s ability to make a clean and engaging film even when compelled to compromise in the selection of theme. Hamraaz is a thriller, but vastly different from the thrillers made in Pakistan because the characters symbolize the contest for supremacy in a cognizable social system. ...
Ghoonghat (1962)
An off-beat, purposeful theme, mounted with the skill and precision of a surgeon, and treated with the warmth and imagination of a poet, Ghoonghat is another addition to classic Pakistani films. Ghoonghat is not only a source of inspiration for the imaginative technicians but a slap on the face for the plagiarists and the box-office ...
Jhoomar (1959)
The most characteristic feature of the work of Khurshid Anwar-Masud Parvez unit is their endeavor to broaden the scope of filmic expression to bring screen spectacle closer to natural drama. With their technical skill and understanding of the medium they combine an admirable courage to experiment. In Jhoomar, they have tackled one of the most ...
Saath Laakh (1957)
Saifuddin Saif, a poet turned film maker, produced Saath Laakh, an unusual social drama with all the ingredients of a masterpiece, barring the inadequate sets which were more indicative of a paucity of funds rather than a slur on the director’s imagination. The film can be categorized in the genre of Frank Capra’s comedy of ...
Hum Aik Hain (2004)
Syed Noor began making 786 almost two years back. This film was completed earlier this year and the title was changed to Hum Aik Hain, as the Censor Board Members did not approve of 786. Syed Noor has often claimed in recent months that this film is his effort for promoting sectarian harmony, unity and ...
Do Ansoo (1950)
Sentimental melodrama beginning with the dilemma of a spoilt and prodigal Nawab, played competently by Himaliyawala, who has one daughter born to his mistress, a resident of local brothel, and one to his legally wedded wife. Two daughters bring twofold woes as the title of the film implies. His family pride is at stake with ...
Chingari (1964)
Chingari has all the qualities in greater measure of its predecessors: a musical score of rare virtuosity, mature craftsmanship, and a high standard of artistic integrity. What makes it stand out still higher is the significance of the theme, for it touches upon an issue of life as important as any other, and compels the ...
Buddha Gujjar (2002)
Syed Noor has, during the last decade or so, acquired the status of the filmmaker in Pakistan but his critics say his movies seldom defy the ‘formula’. His latest flick, Buddha Gujjar, in more ways than one justifies this criticism. The narrative is simplistic – rather one-dimensional like most movie plots in Pakistan. The form, ...
Aik Gunah Aur (2005)
Aik Gunah Aur features Meera right after her Indian Film debut but that doesn’t stop it from following the formula and the story is based on the life and times of a nawab’s illegitimate daughter who is adopted by a Madam of infamous Red Light area. As the little girl starts to grow it is ...
Budha Bigra Jaey (2004)
The mind has a wonderful ability – that to forget. So there isn’t any permanent damage done by watching this, or any other Pakistani film production – although it may seem at the time that you may never function to your fullest capacity again. Whether it’s your eyes that smart well after watching the movie, ...
