why there is a deep silence about its business. does any body know about its business?????
my brother in pakistan seen the movie and wasn't much satisfied by it despite its high standards in every field. use of 'abusive language' wan't much appreciated by the audience and families kept themselves away from the movie.
any way plzzzzzzz let me know about its business???
dude as far as abusive language is concerned its completely situational i mean how cud u expect prisoners in jail talking decently with each other, to create a reallistic Jail effect they have used abusive language, business wise the film is not a block buster hit but it has recovered its price and its prospect is very bright in india as it is releasing across the border on 3rd october
i do understand the necessity of making relaistic jail effect, especially in world of paralell cinema.
but does it actually worked in the culture of Pakistan???
cetainly not......as the movie of such an international standard merely recovred its cost.
i see the following reasons of this movie for not performing well: (provided i haven't seen the movie yet, so the analysis might not be accurate, feed back will be welcomed!!!!)
1) there are 2 segments of the cinema audience exist in Pakistan which are:
-youth (not necessarily educated)
-family
in pakistan a blockbuster can't happen without family viwership. in this movie that very important segment has been drifted away due to the use of abusive language. one must agree with me that the values we enjoy in our society ,..... doesn't accomodate the debate of necessity for reality impact of real world in cinema.
the youth cinema viewership in pakistan largely consists of un-educated people. they only have the ability to make a movie a mere hit or average but not blockbuster at all.the examples may include all the recent punjabi hit films such as HAMAYUN GUJJAR, ATIF CHOUDRY, ZIDDI RAJPUT etc etc. which are obviously a sub standard product which get attention due to vulgar dances, strong lnguage dialouges etc.
one must not expect this segment to be intrested in the paralell cinema at all especially a master piece with NO CAST VALUE as it was in KHUDA KE LIYE i.e., SHAAN.
unfortunately both segments were drifted away due to their very own traits. and the much awaited masterpiece RAMCHAND PAKISTANI only managed to recover its cost by the viewership of educated youth which less than 30% in the society.
it has recovered its cost easily and it is still showing in cineplex karachi, no idea abt other cities and as far as audience is conerned i was pretty sure from the day one that movies like zibahkhana and ramchand pakistani is best for cineplex and multiplex going audience who pay for something new and creative and thats where both movies have scored, film like khulay asmaan ke neechay only managed to run 4 weeks in cinepex rawalpindi on the other hand film like zibahkhana which was not even a 35mm movie ran for 10 weeks in the same theatre and same is the case with ramchand.
You cant not compare both the films Khuda ke liye was a commercial film with a different story line and execution on the other hand Rp is not at all a commercial film.
