JS has some class .....

its an ordeal watching movies in pak cinema ..especially if there are women with you. why cant they just enforce the rules and writ of law.

man, these movies are so redundant in these times and maybe the story line is appealing ..it still looks like a typical lolly punjabi movie.

she s an embarrassment ..so is everyone else in lolly

arre is dancing queen ko koi pakistan ka ticket do bhai .

hahaha u r really funny yaar

i m glad ur sense of humour is intact . mine went a long time ago seein the state of affairs that we are in

no way ..they are both equally bad. atleast bride and brejudice recovered its money. this wont. look out for the next ash hollywood production with collin farell and also provoked . they are carrying big buzz.

bollywood stars live in bandra bandstand, juhu and other very rich neighborhoods in bombay . hollywood stars in beverly hills and others. pakistani stars prolly live in defence or clifton.

hindu story banane ka koi matlab nahi hai. kya urdu literature me achi kahaniyaan nahi hai. usme paisa lagao. another sign of desperation by kashmiri. koi ise samjhayeanyways he cant hold a candle to bhansali. make some islamic or pakistani subject for god sake

i second ya here....like i said pakistani media ..be it films, tv, fashion etc is all overshadowed by indian media. and its not pakistan , pretty much all countries in asia except china and even in africa the local media is overshadowed by the indians .

wake up yaar subha hogaye hei

bete hamari subaah to kab ki ho gayi hai. tumhari lagta hai kal ki utri nahi hai. patan nahi kis fantasy me rehte ho.mere bhai apne aap ko king smajhte rehte hai hum aur duniya kaha ki kaha chali gayi hai. kuch nahi ho sakta tum jaiso ka. its a waste of time arguing, nahi to tum mujhe anti national ya indian kehna shuru kar doge. international newspapers parah karo . i make my opinions based on multiple sources of internationa press . nutthing else convinces me , not our govenrment, not the prez , not anyone.

awesome movie...loved it

its a bad movie ..utter flop

i second ya here....like i said pakistani media ..be it films, tv, fashion etc is all overshadowed by indian media. and its not pakistan , pretty much all countries in asia except china and even in africa the local media is overshadowed by the indians .

its prolly not sonia jahan. she has married a hindu and lives in india now.

achi speech hai na ....politics me chala jaaon lekin hamare yaha elections hi nahi hote. lol

even bollywood has given up these redundant formula films. you can do better shahrukh ....by the way the avatar is pretty kool . i m guessing its shahrukh khan from don remake. it will be an awesome movie. the original don was one of the best movies from bollywood. so racy and glamorous and big budget even in the 70's with amitabh playin every bit the superstar that he is and the car chase on streets of bombay and the background score and music. the remake of don would rock.

why do they have to remake a very super successful indian film that whole pakistan has already seen. however high budget it is ..it wont be a tenth of 55 crores of the indian version. just shows how much of creativity and vision these people have. who would see it. its sucidal. make something else

i m glad u like it .....truth is bitter my bother. call me whatever but the situation is exactly like how i portrayed it. if u dont wanna be realisitc cause in our country its almost anti national to criticize or talk about things as they are . but if you see things from a thrid person perspective then you would realize what i am talkin about. so stop day dreaming and dont call someone an indian cause he doesnt share your fantasy.

lollywood is a gone case cause people in pakistan arent interested in watching movies in theatres cause of cultural, security, lack of appreciation for arts and entertainment...family audiences shunning the idea cause women wont want to watch movies in theatres cause our crowds are at best very rowdy and women have a very tough time even when they are with someone ..forget goin to movies alone ..then the next biggest factor is bolywood with their lavish production values and global reach. movie industry cant progress unless there is a strong local movie watching audience at home . in india millions go to the movies everyday and women and families throng movie theatres. it will never be the case in pakistan . once you have a strong local audience then of course one can think about spreading internationally like bollywood has done. another point is that whatever we might do bollywood would always do better cuse of its infrastructure,,,the kind of people it attracts and the financial returns it generates all over the world ...fanaa made 125 crores world wide in five weeks . that s equal to returns from say 200 pakistani movies. also the fact that indians can spend 60 -65 crores on a movie cause they know that even if they flop they d still level their money cause of a strong local audience and corporatization of their movie system. a billion plus strong movie audience at home gives them that advantage coupled with the fact that abroad people from various countries throng the movie theatres to watch their movies. the salman khan starrer ramayna is being made for a whopping 100 crores . krrish made for 65 crore...shahrukh khans don is being made for 60 crores and kabhi alvida na kehna for 55 crores . compare that to an average one crore movie from lollywood . the boggest movies are say at best 4-5 crores. there are no comparisons . another point is the stereotypes that exist in minds of people and pakistani movies wont find favor anywhere where indian movies are playing ..its a no contest. pakistani pop is better than india but their singers are treated much better where ever they perform and attract more crowds than pakistani . ali azmat even said in an interview how differently indian and pakistani artists are treated abroad .sonu nigam concert tickets sold for lakh of rupees when he performed in karachi and one should see the number of people that were at the venue .the irony is that pakistani artists are treated much better in india than they are in pakistan. television wise our channels opened up after seeing indian channels and are now just a low budget parody of indian televfision but do not reproduce their glamour. gone are the days of dhoop kinare and tanhayian. we could keep mulling over the situation but unless we find a strong local audience to support our own products we can never progress. once the local audience starts putting their ticket worth then the money starts puring in and the infrastructure and facilities trickle in and the you spread your wings internationally. its a very gradual phenomenon. it will never happen in pakistan. .. even if that happens you can never compare the returns from a 160 million population ..majority of who dont appreciate arts and enterainment due to our religious and mora values to a one billion plus audience who treats artists like god and where arts and entertainemnt is part of their religion, their moral and socio political fabric. there is a huge difference in mentality of indians and pakistanis as far as arts and enterainment is concerned plus they are a much open and liberal society so their would always be a glamour factor . just by sheer number of films and number of audience who watch bollywood movies , it is the number one movie industry in the world. why do u think they want their movies released in our theatres cause they are losing on all the extra crores that is lost to piracy in pakistan . they have legitimate rleases in many countries of the world from indian subcontinent to middle east to africa and now western countries and this would increase as they keep injecting business sense into their field. that s why bollywood would continue the strides that it makes and lollywood will be where it always was. we would never have appreciative audience who would buy tickets and make lollywood a profitable industry for it to improve and make better products which will trnaslate into not having facilities and the infrastructure and even then indian movies will dominate due to huge difference in numbers..... that s my two cents on it.

i saw it in a theatre here and it is an awesome movie. ofcourse the superheores kind of movies are more for kids but rakesh roshan has proved that he is a genius and the movie is a lavish production that should be watched on the big screen. the special effects are awe inspiring and the movie showcases hrithik . he looks so good as the superhero with his perfectly toned body and , then he acts pretty good totally fitting the part , not to mention the dances especially the dil na diya number he proves why he is one of the best dancers in asia.

here is the overseas for fanaa and phir hera pheri

Here's something to cheer about! The business of Hindi films has shown an upswing of late, in both U.K. and U.S. territories. In U.K., FANAA has crossed £ 1 million, which is one big achievement. In the U.S. too, the film is expected to touch $ 2 million by next weekend, which is fabulous. The combined total from these two markets has crossed Rs. 17.75 crores making fanaa a blockbuster in these territories. combined with the earnings from australia, far east , middle east and africa the cumulative overseas earnings of fanaa are expected to total about 70 crores. adding indian collections would take the film past the 125 crore mark, making it a bumper hit.

Also, PHIR HERA PHERI is a big success in U.K., while CHUP CHUP KE is rock-steady in both U.K. and U.S. territories. The John Abraham-Lisa Ray starrer WATER is also having a dream run in U.S.A. And with the keenly-anticipated KRRISH arriving this Friday, the Overseas territory is back on the tracks!

salaamz...the great lolly teen movie would never be made cause our society is very different from america and india. the freedom of intermingling of opposite sexes that these countries enjoy is not relevent in our country where this kind of association is frowned upon , where non marital sex is a crime or where one has to produce a nikaahnama if ones with the opposite sex and accosted by the police. the mtv..ization of pakistani public that you are talkin about is due to the influx of indian channels. the real situation outside is very differentand all it does is leave us confused and frustrated at the state of affairs in our country. i mean we dont eve nhave co education schools and our comfort level with opposite sex is very low. sex is an important part of teen life in other countries but not in pakistan. the whole youth subculture you are talikin about is pretty much hinged on partying and attracting opposite sex and this kind of culture lacks in pakistan and is ample in america or india or other countires which are becoming increasingly modern. the college life in pakistan is different from other countries where besides education there is mind boggling party scene and our teens owing to their non adherence to culture of alcohol and sex would never be in that zone. the great lolly teen movie would never be made or run cause our teens would always watch the more modern and ' perversely' gratifying hollywood or indian movies. the problem of exposure to their culture and the non existance of that in our society has left teens disillusioned at best in our society...and thats the fact.
