Pakistan Cinema has Revived with New Aspirations and Visions!

New Face of Pakistan Cinema

Though it is common culture out here that people tend to criticize most of things whether those are in human capacity or beyond any control. Here a very positive change in Pakistan has been arrived with a better law and order situation. The revival of artistic activities and especially the arrival of new cult of cinema with educated and broader spectrum of people. Here you can see people from advertising agencies, and the ones who have actually taken film making degrees from abroad are all set to define new Cinema for Pakistan.

It is all good and positive and will create a marketing niche for Films of Pakistan in near future. But it is time to think over the fact as if we are having or trying to develop our own stamped face of cinema. If we are making a huge investments in movies, post production, music and rest of digital technology then we need to know where we are heading for. If it is the typical spicy movie track that is imported from Bollywood then it is not a wise deal.

Having a very distinctive identity and moral and cultural values. It is the basic right of people of Pakistan to watch films that depict their lives. A social drama that is driven around their lives in one way or other. I agree with that age old notion that cinema is a “Dream Machine”. But now the world is changing and we see that all countries who have a good craft of cinema have the distinctive qualities. You can see the sci-fi thriller and propaganda movies of Hollywood. Then a very close to life movies from China and Iran that pull millions of cinemagoers all around the globe.

It seems a ridiculous effort to catch and grab the audience attention with the same kinds of no plot movies with bulk of songs and “Item Numbers with Vulgar Dances”. A concept and theory imported from neighbouring India. Yeah! They are good at that and have developed a certain face in the whole world. Movie lovers watch the Bollywood and Tollywood movies for same kind of spice, thriller and charming music that most popular heroines perform.

Here it is a time for our movie makers to study the world cinema deeply and see how French movies are different in every aspect from Italian and Spanish films. All have a class and they have same genre to cater the audiences. You see the Pakistan television drama has always been distinctive and recognized world over, and especially in India for great stories, subliminal lesson oriented stories with real lives and the great directorial masterpieces.

If we can do that for Pakistani drama then I think it is time to say yes to great productions like “Waar” only two years back and big NO to films like Wrong Number, Karachi Se Lahore and rest of the same class and cult. It is not a time when filmmakers can have a lame excuse that public wants this and that. They have to develop their taste, and remember that “Waar” was quite a unique film for Pakistani audiences. Our film industry already collapsed due to formula films that went for decades, and now we do not want to see “Jawaani Phir Nahin Aani” with just glamour, gloss and bulk of theatrical humor and dance numbers. Stay tuned!!

Narindra Modi as Prime Minister is an Example of Start of Hindu Colonial Rule

Modi & Anti Muslim Laws Arundhiti Roy in one of her interviews in 2018 to a foreign media channel openly said that India should be declared as a “Hindu Colonial State” unlike the secular and interfaith status which was set by its founders, right from its birth in 1947. She is open in her boycott of the current political system and by not accepting a killer as her prime minister. If we look at the philosophy of Rashtriya Savek Sangh (RSS), the mother organization of Bhartya Janata Party (BJP), then the whole theory and practical steps are understandable. RSS was founded during colonial rule with a vision that after independence from the British Colonial Rule, there will be a state purely dedicated to serve Hindus of elite castes. The Hindustan was expressed to be the land of their gods (devtas), and it would be cleansed from the impurities of the lower caste Hindus and of other faiths. Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Adivasi castes and other commu...

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy – A Traitor in Media Disguise..!!

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy Grabbing Oscars You need to look for the real faces of media personalities who are ruling directly or indirectly in Pakistan. They are considered to be so passionate and skillful media personalities that nobody should object their abilities. They have been proved to be masters of art on great platform like The Oscars. Here I am pointing out to one Great Traitor Lady named Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy. She sprouted out in 2011 from somewhere and presented a documentary called “Saving Face”. She got nominated and got Oscars for it. It could have been considered to be a coincidence but she continued on her agenda and under high profile personality’s umbrellas. Here this lady Sharmeen won her second Oscar Award in 2016 for her short documentary named “A Girl in the River”. It is not that it is a masterpiece but only due to the fact that it depicts some dark aspects of remote tribal society of Pakistan . Here you must never forget how a fake video of Swat Girl got ...

I LOVE YOU – The Most Misused Phrase in the Whole World!!

Love and Hopeful Life I am going to share my own perceptions with you and you have every right to disagree with me. How many times, you have used the phrase “ I Love You ” to someone. Did you really mean it or just spoke it out of a word on mouth as a common phenomenon . I am not saying that people say it without emotions. But it is overused and without really understanding when and where it has to be used! I have seen people in love but they don’t repeat the words as their SOULS are liked, and they can perceive what other one is thinking about them. We say “I Love You” to our beloved, wife, husband, mother, father, kids, friends, colleagues. I have seen so many high profile award functions like Oscars , BAFTA and Emmy Awards . Stars say it loud to each other and to the audiences! Do all these words have some SOUL, and those who speak it out really know how powerful words these are? It requires a personal strength and a firm character to stand for a word that comes out...
