MOVIE REVIEW :: Mehreen Jabbar Redefines Drama Genre, Thumbs up for Dobara Phir Se

Sometimes things inspire you quietly, without notifying you and you realize when it is gone. “Dobara Phir Se” is a similar kind of movie. At first you will not realize it but slowly and gradually it will totally consume you. If we state that “Dobara Phir Se” has set a benchmark for Pakistani drama genre movies it won’t be so wrong.

Sensibility, decency and a mature approach that is what “Dobara Phir Se” is all about. Mehreen Jabbar took a story which is not so unique apparently, it is simple and complex simultaneously, just the way life is used to be but there are diminutive moments to feel. 

Top Ten Highest Grossing Pakistani Films 2016

10.  Ishq Positive:

Directed By Noor Bukhari staring Noor Bukhari and Wali Hamid Khan film released back in July. Film's music got immense appreciation from critics and it also got excellent remarks about cinematography. But film failed to show any mark at the Boxoffice and managed to gross mere 80 Lacs approx. Film was produced by KSL Productions and distributed by Eveready Pictures. Disaster

In Conversation With The Cast of Janaan

There was a time when Pakistani films were not considered decent enough to watch. The obnoxious language, unrefined story and tawdry dances made them good for no one. Even though there was a segment who was entertained by this type of movies, and such racy material was enjoying fair earnings but to be honest it was anything but entertainment. Luckily Waar released in 2013 proved a silver lining as well as a trend setter. Things started getting better and we had many entertaining projects such as Ho Mun Jahan, Jawani Phir Nai Aani, Bachana, Malik and many more.

If we state this Eid is a filmy, it won't be so wrong as three big films are going to release on the same day, 13th of September. Actor in Law, Zindgi Kitni Haseen Hai and Janaan, Gosh its a tough competition, keep the fingers crossed.

Ali Zafar & Atif Aslam Collaborated to Give a Tribute to Martyred of PAF

Pakistan music industry is back on track after a long time. Even music in Pakistani films has been improved immensely and now most of Pakistani films are equipped with melodious and soulful tracks. Coke Studio and Nescafe Basement are considered appreciable efforts to serve music industry.

Recently two iconic rock stars collaborated in order to give a tribute to Pakistan Armed Forces. The song titled "Yaar Yaroon Sa Na Hoon Juda" is perfect to celebrate the spirit of Defence day. This stimulus track went online on September 6 and is going to be viral in coming days as anything related to PAF is considered religiously appreciable.

Winter is Coming

As we entered September, Summer is ending and we are having a blast of big films lined up! September is set to be a filmi, October will be silent with the message of big Winter approaching, November will see big Winter taking over with big films and December will see year ending with some very big Winter terror! Let's see how this year's Winter is going to reveal it's magic!

"Zalima Coca Cola Pila De"

Coke Studio is talk of the town now a days. “Zalima Coka Cola Pila Daay” is everywhere, I mean everywhere and everyone is in need of “Coca Cola” in order to quench his/her thirst. Undoubtedly the TVC is based on a strong and energetic sound track sung by Meesha Shafi and Qayyas. They deserve huge round of applause as both of them did justice to the track. 

“Flying Jatt” A Most Awaited Superhero Movie

I am not a super hero fan kind of person.  Superman, batman and other super hero series are just like the other movies for me. There is nothing excited at least for me. But when it comes to comedy and a good for nothing comic superhero BINGO!!! That’s what I would love to watch. Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez and Nathan Jones starer upcoming Bollywood super hero action film “Flying Jatt” is going to release on 25 August, 2016.  Flying Jatt is co-written, choreographed and directed by Remo D'Souza under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures.

"Janaan" Will It Make A Mark With All The Sweetness?

It seems film would base on the emotional journey of a girl who would come to Pakistan in order to attend a wedding ceremony. She would become a part of a love triangle; in result every member of family would suffer in a way. It seems an unpretentious and easy to predict story sprinkled with little emotional fluctuation.

Finally after a long depression, growth has been witnessed in Pakistan film industry. Even in 2016, seven films have been released and still ten films are in pipeline that will be released in the same year. Eventually things are getting better and hopefully with every passing year film industry of Pakistan would flourish and be well established.

"Woh Ishq Jo Hum Se Rooth Gaya" A tribute to the legendary Farida Khanum

 

Asslam Alaikum Everyone!

Hope you all are well, would be enjoying the mysterious weather & pleasure of December. I couldn't ever figure out, why does December memorize me?  I feel like a mystery is hidden in this month. A month filled with strange but audible silence and a pleasure blended with little sadness. In short, December is the favorite month of mine.

There is a strong connection between December and music. Music fuels our mind and creativity. Music can engage soul and mesmerize us. I am a music lover. I always admire good singers and loved to listen music of all genres. Classical to pop, folk to rock music. The unplugged live music is my most favorite genre. 

"Tamasha" Premiere @ Luxus Grand Cinema - A memorable evening

In 80s and even 90s it was a craze to watch every new movie in cinema. Pakistan film industry was flourishing at that time and people had nice stuff to watch and enjoy. 

Eventually the level of Pakistani movies started declining, which resulted in recession of cinema business. In last few years, Pakistani film industry has been growing  and many cinemas are back in business. 

Luxus grand Cinema is one of them. On Thursday 22 November, 2015, I attended the Red carpet premiere of Bollywood film "Tamasha" staring Ranbeer Kapoor and Deepika Padukone at Lahore's Luxus Grand Cinema.
