Bindiya
This sultry beauty was different from her showbiz peers in that before her entry into the serious business of Lollywood, she proved her burgeoning acting mettle on the Lahore commercial stage. Even early on, before she calculatedly worked herself into films, Bindiya’s style was peppered with a nonchalant seduction, something that could have been manufactured ...
Badar Munir
He was a pillar of strength for Pashto film-makers and audiences, a legend in Urdu cinema and an actor who never denied his humble beginnings. And on October 11, 2008, Badar Munir died after suffering a cardiac arrest in Lahore, leaving a vacuum that may never be filled. Be it Pashto films, Urdu flicks or ...
Yeh Dil Aapka Hoa (2002)
The wait is finally over and more than the crew of Yeh Dil Aapka Hoa, it’s the audience who was waiting to see the film. They aren’t disappointed but aren’t smiling on their way back home either. Yes it is different, but the only difference is that now the same old wine is in a ...
Pyaar Hi Pyaar Mein (2003)
Fahim Burney’s debut directorial venture Pyaar Hi Pyaar Mein was the second most anticipated release of 2003, the first being Samina Peerzada’s Shararat. Though the film successfully evoked curiosity for its sophisticated imagery and lifted scenes before its release, expectations from it weren’t sky high, since the element of originality was missing even in the ...
Pehla Pehla Pyar (2006)
Depilex Vision’s Pehla Pehla Pyar is a misdirected attempt at film-making. Mubasher Luqman directs the flick and sadly joins Faheem Burney and Asif Ali Pota in the ever-growing list of directors who migrated from TV to film, but failed to impress in their first attempt. The film seems more like a play on a private ...
Neela Parbat (1969)
The basic pattern of the themes of Pakistani productions is more or less fixed and few directors would dare to venture into variations outside it. All stories have a built-in fairy-tale like quality. Problems of various kinds are created without regard for realism. As unreal problems do not call for realistic solutions, the ‘problems’ created ...
Majajan (2006)
Syed Noor’s much awaited Punjabi language film Majajan is finally out. The showman had cancelled the release earlier for almost three times – once due to the October 8 earthquake, then the Pak-India Test series and most recently Eid-ul-Azha – adding to the hype of the film and testing the patience of Pakistani cine-goers. With ...
Larki Punjaban (2003)
Larki Punjaban, the biggest Pakistani film ever attempted, courted controversy from the very beginning. It was rumoured to be co-directed by the Indian director Shashilal Nair. It was released in London before it was released in Pakistan and Syed Noor was heard swearing by its success. It elicited protests from Sikh activists who claimed that ...
Laaj (2003)
Our history, or more accurately our recent history, has an overbearing effect on us. The experience of being colonial subjects, the pain of living in the perpetual shadow of an overbearing majority and the suffering caused by the partition of the sub-continent along with what many people prefer to call a ‘religious divide’ have been ...
Koi Tujh Sa Kahan (2005)
Watching a Pakistani film used to be more agony than entertainment until Yeh Dil Aap Ka Hua, masterfully crafted with its brilliant print, excellent songs and above all, unLollywood approach. The era of quality Pakistani movies would have returned but cine-goers met more trash after Yeh Dil Aap Ka Hua than before and decided to ...
