I have heard the full soundtrack and on the whole the soundtrack is good but one thing for sure that Playback singing is not Jawad Ahmed's cup of Tea. One example is of the title song which was really nice but somewhat spoiled by Jawad Ahmed's voice.
How does this soundtrack campares to Moosa Khan's soundtrack ?
The song Dum Dum is very similiar to Lagi Lagi from Moosa Khan.

Afridi hasnat I have never doubted the capabilties of Syed Noor. Without doubt he is probably the best director in our film industry. This is the precise reason why I have been very disappointed with the films that he has directed in the last 5 to 6 years. The exceptions have been Mehndi Walay Haath and recently Majajan.
Early in his career as director when he made films like Jeeva, Sargham, Ghunghat, Sangham, Deewanay Terey Pyar Kay, Zever, Choorian, Daku Rani etc one genuine thought here is a director that will take Lollywood to the next level.
He himself in his earlier interviews mentioned that he had a vision for Pakistani Cinema. Unfortunately what happened to that vision after 1999.
Two things took over, one his obsession for money and the other being his beloved Saima.
Syed Noor started directing 5 to 6 files at a single work and basically comprimised on his work. It is hard enough to direct one film at a single but to direct 5 or 6 at the same time is mad. Instead of concentrating on quality unfortunately quantity become the mantra for Syed Noor.
Its Syed Noor to started the "tayka" or contract system to make films. Film making is an creative art and not construction which you can make on a contract.
What sort of quality can you expect when films are made this way. Since 2000 Syed Noor has not had one big Urdu hit film.
Majority of his films in the last 6 years have all been remakes of old Pakistani films and nothing new.
Let see what Syed Noor brings us with Jhoomer in the coming months.
Syed Noor's other achilles heel has been Saima. Saima without is an wonderful performer. Syed Noor has casted his beloved wife in every film after he fell in love with her during the late 1990s.
They were a number of films in which Saima was not suitable as herione but still Syed Noor went ahead. The result was that the films flopped and one more thing which puts the public off Syed Noor's films is seeing Saima in every film.
Even Majajan has been a great success for Syed Noor and Saima one hopes that Syed Noor realises his mistake and in future should only cast Saima if suited.
Is high time that Syed Noor seperates his love life from his professional life. If he does not then it will be a shame and the film industry will never see the true potential of Syed Noor.
Syed Noor is talented and one just can hope that he can get his priorites right and starts making some truly wonderful films.

A few weeks ago when I read that the film was made on the Vanni custom I did have a feeling it do well at the box office.
Its simple basically the viewers have been given something new story wise. This should be a lesson to all Punjabi filmmakers who are hell bent on making Punjabi films with the 3Vs (Violence, Vengence and Vulgarity).
Any how this is good news for upcoming quality Punjabi films like Mohabbatan Sachchian, Chana Sachi Muchi and Zille Shah.

More on Ramchand Pakistani.
Ramchand Pakistani, which also features actor Nandita Das, is being produced by one of the leading production houses of Pakistan, Project 1 (Pvt) Ltd. It talks of an eight-year-old boy who accidentally crosses into Indian territory. The child’s father goes looking for him but ends up getting arrested, with his son, by the BSF.
The film focuses on the child’s experiences during the few years he spends in a jail in Bhuj, Gujarat, the relationships he develops with the other prisoners and the jailor and his coming of age in the prison.
“I was briefed and keeping in mind the human angle of the film I spent a few days in Kutch and picked up the folk music of that region before composing for the film,” says Mishra, who spent 10 days in March in Karachi with sound engineer Dipankar Chaki to record the songs. “I did not have an idea that they are such enthusiasts about Indian music. The best thing is that I always felt at home there,” he says.
The three songs Meri maati mujhe mera sansaar de (Abida Parveen and Shubha Mudgal), Phir wohi raaste (Shafqat Amanat Ali) and Tera aanchal raha aasman ki tarah (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan), are all melody-based and are a blend of Indian and Pakistani folk mainly from Bhuj, Sindh, Kutch and Rajasthan. The sound arrangement in Pakistan was done by Rahil Hayat, the composer of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan hit song Jiya dhadak dhadak jaye.
“The songs have been written by poet and lyricist Anwar Maqsoodm, who is the father of Bilal Maqsood, the vocalist of the Pakistani band Strings,” says Mishra, who plans to complete his compositions by June.

Even after all this you are not going admit anything.
So its really no use my justifying myself. Any how I have provided the link which is on the first page on mazhar's site. Which except for you everyone can read.
So all this is about being childish and growing up. You certaintly have a problem and that you are stubburn. Any how good luck mate and that will get you far in life.
One fact is that when ever anyone goes to mazhar's site and clicks on films and 2006 it will say TARAP a hit. Simple and that is something you can't deny. Even the fact is that Tarap is a flop.

According to an Urdu Daily the film's budget is 10 crore rupees making it the most expensive Pakistani film ever.
It will be interesting to see what the budget is for Shoaib Mansoor's Khuda Kay Liye.
What for unique for Ramchand Pakistani that is going to be the first Pakistani film shot with latest "HD (High Defination) Camera.
Even in India only one film Eklaya has been shot with this camera.
This is good news but i am still happy with Mahreen Jabbar by choosing Nandita Das for the main role. One thing for sure people are going confuse it for an Indian film.

Firstly I have never have ever have said that Tarap is a hit. Read that in my first post unless you need reading lessons.
There was a simple explanation to all this but unfortunately people like you do have ego problems.
The fact is that Mazhar has contridicted himself regarding the box office status of Tarap. At the end of 2006, the link which you put up he says that Tarap is a flop.
Then a few days ago he has posted the full film listings and review of 2006 films which is on the first page when you open his film magazine he has given Tarap the hit status. That is the link that I provided. This is the last piece of information that mazhar has put on his site so how can you that I look at the latest business report.
Its clear you can't read what someone else posts.
Any how I made myself clear and its simple explanation. If someone reads the two links then neither am I wrong or are you. Its just that mazhar himself has made a mistake himself.
This is something which you could have easily pointed out like any decent adult but unfortunately a kid will always remain a kid whatever. Playground or no playground. Any how I can't fall to your standards.
One thing lastly I don't like arguing with a fellow Pakistani but if it was an Indian thats something different.

Are you stupid or what yoyo. I have also have given a link to clarify what I am stating. I have even written it in bold so its easy for you to read unless you have weak eye sight.
I have read what it says in your link. So then tell me what does it say in the link that I have sent you which is taken from mazhar's site. Its not something which I have invented. Any how I rest my case as I have better things to do.
We all know who is being childish here and this is not the first time.

Its an old movie. It got released in 1998.
FILM : KAHIN PYAR NA HO JAYE PRODUCER : SATISH ANAND DIRECTOR: JAVED SHIEKH WRITER : HASINA MOIN MUSIC : AMJAD BOBBY CAST : SHAAN, MEERA, RESHAM, SALEEM SHIEKH & JAVED SHIEKH.
The film flopped at the box office because of the slow tempo of the story even though the story writer was Hasina Moin. The story was insprired by some Hollywood flick. I think the Indians also made Aur Pyar Ho Gaya on the same script.
The film was shot in Turkey and Sri Lanka. It was not a bad film as I have seen it. The duration of the film could have been cut because it had a number of unnessary scenes.
The saving grace was the great music by Amjad Bobby.

Bilal the info regarding Tarap being a hit is wrong. You have taken this from Mazhar's site and the information is wrong unfortunately.
Agree with Charizmatic.
Sangeeta still has the potential to a top director but if only she picks better scripts.
A person who could make films like Society Girl, Mooti Bar Chawal, Thori Si Bewafi, Mehndi Lage Mere Haath, Mahal Mere Sapno Ka,etc in the late 1970s and 1980s one is disappointed with her current movies.
I myself have been films like Thori Si Bewafi, Society Girl and Mooti Bar Chawal on video.

Bilal I have also read the same thing in the mentioned publications. What is surprising is that in the Khabrain newspaper it is stated that the film has been let down by Humayun Saeed's poor performance. Which is very strange.

The reason why Momi had differences with the film producer was that firstly the producer wanted Shaan in the film and then wanted changes in the script. In fact the prodcuer even asked Nasir Adeeb to make changes to the script.
Is at that stage that Momi decided not to carry on with the movie.
A few weeks back it was also announced that he was directing another movie called "Bakhtu" , the character from Choorian.
Then suddenly last week came the news of Momi directing Nasir Chinoti's film.
There was one other annoucement also that he was making a film with Naseem vicky called "Non Stop".
It seems alot of confusion of what Momi is really doing.
The latest is that he is supposed to be directing Nasir Chinoti's film.

Last month it was reported in an Urdu Daily that Momi has stopped the shooting of this film after some differences with the producer. At this moment it looks unlikely that the film is going to be completed but one never nows.

As I have not seen the film I really can't comment on the above review.
Its best for the people to comment who have been this film.
The review is negative in general. One thing I would like to find out from the people who have seen the film is at as bad as the above reviewer as said.
Or on the other hand is it just a matter of the Pakistani media bashing local films as usual.

Great song. The Indians have admitted that a number of Bollywood composers in recent times have tried to copy Strings but have failed. Strings are unique.
I wish our film industry uses the talent of Strings and other Pakistani pop artists instead of running to the Indians.

I would also want to see more Pakistani films based on Pakistani culture. Something which was shown in Majajan.
I don't agree with your second point because our public is totally obsesssed with Indian films and Indian TV soaps. Its an embarrassment. One can't enrirely blame the film makers.

On the question of Pushto films I have seen the above trailor and a couple of others from youtube and I was impressed by the improvement in Pushto films. This improvement has been going on for the 3 to 4 years. This is the reason for the current boom in business of Pushto films.
There was a time that Arbaz Khan would not even dream about working in Pushto films and today he is the leading hero Pushto films.
One just hopes that the Punjabi film makers wake up to this fact and follow in the steps of Pushto film makers and improve the outlook of Punjabi films.
For the last 25 years or so Punjabi films have been made on the same format and nothing has changed.

One Indian Punjabi film "Dil Apna Punjabi" did a business of over £200,000 last year here in the UK. That was amazing and this is what yoyo is refering to.
This is the reason why a film like Majajan should be released here in the UK. Punjabi films have no competition from Bollywood movies.
Alot of the sikhs and Pakistanis love watching Punjabi films.
This is why films like Majajan and upcoming films like Mobattan Sachchain, Chana Sachi Muchi, Sooha Jorra, and Zille Shah should be released here in the UK.
The fact is the Indians can't make Punjabi films. Its a golden opportunity for our film makers.
