The awards were shown today again on Geo and yesterday PTV Global also showed them.

Koi Tujh Sa Kahan was also released in Dubai. Some other films have been also released in the past.

From the above pictures of the cast the photo set has been stylishly designed. I still can't believe why did the film had no website.

The internet is currently the most effective and the cheapest way promote yourself and our filmmakers still have not realised its importance.

Dil Deewana has never been released on DVD but Ary Digital in the UK did show it a few years back. The film is nothing special.

Its Momi the crazy lover who kidnaps Jiya Ali who is engaged to Babar Ali. The film is a remake of the 60s Hollywood classic "The Collector".

The music was good and it took Syed Noor 3 years to complete the film.

Show it at a film festival no way. The only reason this film is going to India because Jumshed Zafar was the producer and he is also going to India.

If that was the case then Zeba Bukhtiar should have taken her film Babu instead. Babu subject wise was a different film and had good music.

When are we ever going to do something on merit.

Yesterday the trailer of MS was shown and the photo set ceremony took place at the Gulistan Cinema Lahore where all the cast of the film was present.

I can't understand who chooses these films for festivels. Why do we always send our worse films. Why Dil Dewwana and Hawaain. Salakhain could have been sent instead of Hawaain. Its 10 times better technicallly and production wise.

Instead of sending Choorian would it not been better if we had sent Majajan. Subject wise Mehndi Walay Haath was also good. What about Rauf khalid's Laaj.

Sangeeta's Mutti Bhar Chawal is nearly 30 years old.

The only film truly worth going is Khuda Kay Liye.

On Aag TV in trailer city. They have been showing one promo during the last few weeks and in the last few days a new song promo is being shown. Its the one that W Q Malik is not happy with.

Well I am looking forward to Mohabbatan Sachiyan on Eid. Having seen the promos and some song clips the film technically and production wise looks really good.

One has to give credit again to Shehzad Rafique for for making such a visually fantastic film. He has workied so hard on each scene. Shehzad Rafique treats his film as a painting. One wishes that other directors can learn something from his style of film making.

The film will give a new trend to Punjabi films. Here is a film which is set in the urban background instead of a rural background.

The music sounds nice of what I have heard. Just one thing which might go against MS is its story.

The film is a love triange and Babrak Shah is the villian who wants Veena Malik at all cost. This subject has been done to death a million times.

We need to place much more importance on better scripts and scripting is currently the most weakest part of our films.

Our film makers should learn something from Shoaib Mansoor. The biggest reason why KKL has done so well and has been a major point of discussion everywhere its because of its subject.

I am not saying we need to make art films but what is needed films with new ideas or scripts which one can releate to.

For MS Shehzad Rafique chose Ayub Khawar one of the best writers for TV to write the script.

For me Jhoomer looks a bit out dated but I might be wrong. I don't feel that confident with the film. One thing that goes in the favour of Jhoomer is Syed Noor.

Godfather looks a good routine action film but I am not interested.

Any how just hoping that MS and Jhoomer do well.

I also agree with you SK why are certain people on this Bulletin Board so interested in Godfather.

Well it doess not matter what Veena Malik says about Reema. The fact is Reema is cloud nine at the moment. She is getting alot of praise for her her quiz programme on Geo.

In fact the king of comparing in Pakistan Moin Akhtar has praised Reema's hosting of the show. Also Senetar S.M Zafar has also personally congratuated Reema on her comparing skills.

Yoyo anything latest on KKL release except for emailing. Have you spoken to anyone.

Can someone ask Geo thats what is the position on them releasing KKL in UK.

One thing which defies logic is that the film is still doing really well in Pakistan and the business will surely pick up after Eid again. So why release it on DVD then?

This is very sad news and totally stupid.

As I said before Geo have totally messed up the releasing of KKL overseas. The fact is the film should have got released simultaenously here in the UK as when it got released in Pakistan.

Geo at that time promoted the film heavily here in the UK and basically everyone was dying to watch the film. Alot hype and excitement had been created regarding KKL.

The worse thing that happened to KKL and its chances of getting released overseas that after about 1 month of its Pakistani release the film was available for everyone to download and watch over the internet.

Worse to follow was that just after a couple of more weeks the original DVD of KKL was selling openingly every where in the UK.

The fact is everyone who was interested in watching KKL has know seen the movie either from the net or by buying the DVD.

With two big Bollywood films coming out next month one does not see many people going to watch KKL except for die hard fans. We all now how patriotic we are when it comes to Indian films. The fact is tha the Indians are not releasing a film called "Johnny Gaddar" here in the UK next week because they realise no Pakistanis will come and see the film because of Ramadan. 50% of the audience for Indian films are us Pakistanis.

One has to totally blame Geo for mess. This film could have truly put Pakistani Cinema on the world map.

The British media is dying to watch something like this.

Geo still should make an effort to release the film here and also have a special screening for the British media.

The film should also be sent to the upcoming London film festival.

Personally all Pakistanis should boycott Godfather. Technically Godfather can be called a Pakistani film but infact its more of a Indian film financed by a Pakistani.

The only people who are going to benefit from this are the producers, distributors and Cinema owners.

The only thing I fear is not if this film does do well at the Box office then other Pakistani producers might follow Aslam Bhatti.

We are already outsourcing alot of work to the Indians. Whats needed is that we revive our own industry and make films with complete Pakistani talent.

Something which Shoaib Manssor has done.

Coming back to Godfather the film is getting released on Eid at a new Cinema in Hyderabad.

Also two new Cinemas are opening up in Rawalpindi on Eid.

The only reason why I say full trailors could have seen shown because Geo has been getting a large audience because of the cricket.

Syed Noor today has confirmed that Jhoomer will be released on Eid. The film's budget is 2.75 crore rupees. Its a story of a women (Saima) who by mistake goes across the border and comes back with a child.

You can't even call them proper promos or trailors. Its more like stills from the film. The so called trailors don't even mention the films name.

Currently a number of people are watching Geo because of the twenty 20 World Cup. This includes alot of Indians.

Alot of people might be seeing the promos for the first time. What is need that in the next few days Geo starts airing proper promos with the film name.

Considering Pakistan and India are playing in the final of Twenty 20 World Cup on Monday. Geo is going to get a large audience on Monday.

One thing for sure we Pakistanis need a urgent lesson in how promote and market our films. Its not rocket science.

Geo should not release KKL on Eid. It should be released about 1 or 2 weeks after. The reason being Om Shanti Om is coming out on Eid.

You are totally right Queen Victoria. I also have read different reports in different papers. It looks like aids probably.

Jhoomer is not getting released on Eid as the distributors could not find a suitable Cinema in Karachi and Hyderabad. Any how Syed Noor is of to Bangkok for the post production of Jhoomer this week. The film will be probably be released in November.

Ejaz Bajwa the producer of Chana Sachi Muchi is going to India on the 27th September for the post production of his film. The film is also slated for a November release.

It looks like that Eid is going to be two horse race between Godfather and Mohabbatan Sachchiyan.

ALL THE BEST TO MOHABBATAN SACHCHIYAN.

Yoyo I have no problem you comparing MEDLKAG to the Indian rubbish you watch but still saying MEDLKAG is worse then a D grade Bollywood movie. Dude, you need your eyes testing.

If you can't understand what I have written then tell me who has a pea sized brain.

Thanks to the pirate DVD I don't see KKL doing that well at the box office but Majajan will if promoted properly.

YDAKH made 50,000 pounds. Choorian a few years ago ran for 5 weeks just at Manchester Trafford centre.

Yoyo I have no problem you comparing MEDLKAG to the Indian rubbish you watch but still saying MEDLKAG is worse then a D grade Bollywood movie. Dude, you need your eyes testing.

Great news Afridi Hasnat. Geo are crazy in buying Merigold. A total flop film. Hope that Geo release KKL in the UK with English subtitles.

One can forget about this film ever getting released overseas. Which is a total shame. This was one film which would have put Pakistan and Pakistani Cinema on the world map. This was Pakistan's couching Tiger. What a cock up by GEO.

So many of my friends and relatives were waiting for this film to be shown here instead they have all watched the pirated DVD.

Why was the film not released at the same time it did in Pakistan. Stupid Geo.

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.

I still feel the promotion is very low key. Any how inshallah I will watch it early next week at Cineworld in Wandsworth (London)

Its great that KKL has got a mention in newsweek.

The budget of $3.5 million is a bit over the top. This amounts to about 20 crore Pakistani rupees. A budget of 5-10 crore rupees is more realistic and even thats on the high side.

The business of $500,000 for the first 3 weeks is right. This amounts to just over 3 crore Pakistani rupees which is right.

For me Godfather ia an Indian film produced by a Pakistani.

If we keep on out sourcing everything to the Indians then we will never develop our own industry.

Going to India for post-production can't be helped but for everything else its a joke. Another way to feel inferior.

8 crore is rubbish and so is 5 crore. Its more likely to be 3 crore maximum.

What is disturbing is that a number of Cinemas are prefering to go show Awarapan instead of Khuda Kay Liye. Even the business of KKL is brilliant.

One example is the Alfalah Theatre on Mall Road, Lahore which is going to start showing films again and the first film they are going to show is Awarapan.

Our mentally with Indian films is not going to go away.
