this is good news, but i don't understand a few things.

how do you know that columbia, UTM and universal will setup offices in
pakistan?

what reason would they have to setup offices in pakistan?

what is it that they were doing two decades ago in pakistan?

KHAMOSH PANI

Download the Torrent file and then use a Torrent
software to download the whole movie. it's about 700MB.

i agree with you charizmatic i also think gujjar films are
terrible.

all i was saying was that maula jutt is the only decent
gujjar film. and i say this because it has good filmmaking
techniques. watch for the camera work deviced by the
filmmaker. it's impressive. and the film is funny to watch.

but overall, the gujjar films are a disgrace to PAKISTAN, and
its people.

yeah. maula jutt was entertaining because it was one of the first
JUTT films with like a full array of masala stuff.

the action was original, and well filmed.
but ever since then, all films have been copies of Maula Jutt or
something very close to it.

Jutt characters dominate lollywood.

its not about education.
films are about entertainment, storytelling and if possible, a
message to the public. you don't have to be highly educated to
be able to watch Good movies.

i'm sorry but i havent seen Jinnah as yet. But what i think
caused that film to flop (from what i've heard) is that the film was
in English, with lots of British actors and i'm not sure about its
scripting.
what are your thoughts on Jinnah? Good film or Not?

all i'm trying to say is, filmmakers have to try and make movies
that are different from each other.
the way the pakistani film industry works - the films are being
made like a factory makes cars, where all the cars are the
SAME. this way, the films are also the same.
it's all about LOVE and HATE.
there is either DANCING or KILLING.

we have such a rich culture in pakistan - at times a comic and
funny culture - that there should be films made based around
common people's stories, comedies, dramas, and other topics
which are less explored. i don't think that films based on these
ideas are completely HAT KAY, or unwatchable.

audiences usually don't go into the theatre thinking,
"i hope there is good cinematography or DTS sound or glamor."

audiences go in thinking,
"i hope this is a good story, entertainment with good acting and
interesting characters."

make any sense?? or am i the only one who is absolutely
disgusted with the lollywood crap?? Budda Gujjar?!?

i've seen Maula Jutt. now that film was entertaining. and i'm
sure over the years, some Jutt films have been decent, but up
till just recently, Jutt films were the ONLY type of movies being
made in the market.

any thoughts?

I've seen the trailer to Pehla Pehla Pyar, and the movie is
nothing but a Bollywood type of a film. It's good that Pakistani
film is trying to make better films than the gujjars, and jaggas,
but don't copy Bollywood.

everyone knows the ending of PPP when they walk into the
theatre. nothing surprising. the boy and the girl will live
happily ever after.

how about trying something new.
different.
original.

i think this is GREAT! every year the festival seems to be
growing with lots of international and local films being brought
in and shown to audiences. this is the way to progress.
at first i thought this was going to be a small event with amateur
films being shown, but the list of films in the above article show
a lot of professinal films from all over the world.

the way the pakistani film industry has been doing in the past
few decades - its shameful.    there is
not a single good and proper film being made by our industry.

but now, the pakistani youth can finally make their films and
have it shown locally in the Karachi Film Festival. its
encouraging...
