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!!

When Guilt Conscious Works!

Depression and Guilt Conscious When someone is on a verge of losing a rule or principle that he or she has defined by himself for him or her then a guilt conscious works. I happens with those people who are close to their religious obligation and fear about God Almighty. They feel a sense of crime at every time when they feel obsessed with worldly or carnal desires. They are definitely dissatisfied and feel uncomfortable with what has happened. The most important thing is to be realistic and self-explanatory to yourself. If you have done something that is a SIN or a Crime in other senses then you feel an urge to ask for forgiveness. Suppose if we hurt someone, even with our attitude then we feel sorry for being that harsh or to show off our that side of personality that is not dominating us in regular life. Then the Guilt starts working and it is good that it stops us from doing great danger and harms to ourselves and to others around. Now you may ask me that ...

A Pendulum Swirl between Hope and Loss of Success Path!

Hope and Success I feel it is quite phenomenal to understand that a new life exists on each day for us. When we wake up we are in fact given a new chance to relive our DREAMS, and to try to gain something that we long aspire for! Does it always work or not is something that makes a real difference, and I know how a person feels when he in on a brink of a new discovery or even losing all what he has! It is not easy for anyone to handle that pressure situation where one is subject to get any kind of response. It happens at time when we are trying to reach out to new goals and the way is too ambiguous, and nobody can give you assurance as if everything will turn out in your favor. I have gone through this phase in LIFE and know the continuous shaking of mind in two different direction is very difficult.   To know whether I am going to be passed for a certain thing or to be failed is something really very difficult. It is in fact a Depressive State of Mind and makes...
