Yoyo for god sake get a life and stop comparing MEDLKAG to some D grade Bollywood movie. Are you implying Budda Mar Gaya.
Firstly tell me have you seen the movie? The answer is probably no then how can you ridicule the film. You initally had the same words for KTSK and did not watch it when it got released here and waited a year to watch the film on Geo and the horrible print they showed.
Having finally watched MEDLKA a few days ago I was not surprised. The film without doubt was not the best ever made in Pakistan. The film was just plain average with a typical story and direction was not up to scratch. The only saving grace was the music.
We all Knew the merits and de-merits of the film before.
What I was more interested is with the film's performance at the Box office. The film unfortunately is a total wash at box office. I am not surprised at all.
The film's promotion was zilch. Alot of people did not even Knew that the film was on. The film did not even get a mention in the Cineworld website that it is being screened. A Pakistani film gets released here in the UK once in a blue moon which is about two years and then promtion is non existent. How can you expect people to came and see the film.
What is needed is proper promotion of the film.
One thing which does not help Pakistani film's performace at the box office in the UK is the non-availablity of the product.
Currently no Pakistani films are released on DVD here in the UK. Things were better about 5 to 6 years ago when all Pakistani films used to get released here in the UK. One has to currently rely on the pathetic Pakistani prints and we now at what pace films are released on DVD in Pakistan. Alot of video shops don't stock these Pakistani print DVDs.
When a product is not available how do expect people to watch Pakistani films.
We then have our TV channels. Currently they are 4 big Pakistani channels in the UK. Geo, Ary, Prime TV and PTV Global. Geo, Ary and PTV Global never show Pakistani films or film based programmes. Prime TV does show 2 films a week but they are all old films. One has no clue whats happening on the Pakistani film scene. So where do you go from here.
Its high time if film makers really want to successfully release there films in the UK then firstly release all Pakistani films on DVD in the UK. To release all audio tracks of films in the UK also.
Secondly film makers should realise one cannot release one film after 2 years and expect people running to watch. Our film makers need to release more films here on a regular basis. This will get people interested.
Still can't understand why films like Majajan and KKL have not been released in the UK especially KKL which defies logic. Considering that GEO promoted the film really well. Any how everyone has seen the pirated DVD of the film which is stupied.
Its time that filmmakers do things properly if not then things will be the same for the next time an Pakistani film gets released here. They are numerous people out here who want to watch Pakistani movies.
