Armaan (1966)
Armaan was released on Friday, March 18, 1966, at a time when the country was echoing with protests against the Tashkent Agreement signed by President Ayub Khan and the Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. It was said that a war ‘won’ on the front had been ‘lost’ on the table. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the ...
Channa Sachi Muchi (2010)
The failing local film industry saw a ray of hope with the recent premiere of the Lollywood period film, Channa Sachi Muchi (CSM). Its makers claim it to be one of the most expensive film ever made in the history of Pakistan, labeling it as a revival of Pakistani cinema. CSM has been produced by ...
Virsa (2010)
The film, Virsa, is a joint venture between Pakistan and India — an apparent attempt for the revival of Pakistani cinema with the idea that it could be brought about through collaborative efforts, consequently resulting in meaningful cinema. The premier held in all its glory at CineStar Cinema was attended by the film’s star cast ...
Aansoo (1971)
Capsule Review: Based on Riaz Arshad’s novel “Andhi Jawani”, Aansoo was one of the best films made during the early period of colored Lollywood films. The film dealt with the sensitive issue of rape and its after effects. Farida (Firdous) gets raped by a stranger Akhtar (Masoud Akhtar) while travelling from Karachi to Rawalpindi by ...
Kaun Bane Ga Crorepati (2002)
Synopsis Kaun Bane Ga Crorepati is based on Dabir ul Hasan’s (Shamim Ara’s husband) shamelessly plagiarized script that has two young men trying to woo a rich girl who exchanges personal status with a girlfriend to test the sincerity of people professing love and find out if they were attracted to her person or her ...
Khamosh Pani – Silent Waters (2003)
Khamosh Pani / Silent Waters (2003), a Pakistani film made mostly with European money, is focused on religious intolerance. Sabiha Sumar has previously made several documentaries on the plight of women in her country. Silent Waters takes place in 1979 during the regime of Zia, at the height of fundamentalism. However, the film is not ...
Aina (1977)
Aina, a musical love story with a tinge of social comment, created history for having the longest combined run in Karachi—almost 250 weeks. The record for the business that it grossed at the box-office was surpassed in 1995, almost twenty-two years later, by Munda Bigra Jaey. Starring Shabnam, Nadeem, Rehan, Qavi, Bahar, Hanif and ...
Asiya (1960)
Clearly influenced by Satyajit Ray’s “Panther Panchali”, the director Fateh Lohani tried vainly to capture the lyrical beauty of Bengal’s countryside in sequences lingering unnecessarily. Fateh Lohani did not seem to have a clear idea about the exact moment when one episode should take over from another, making each either too long or too short. ...
Kancher Deyal (1963)
Apart from Jago Hua Savera, Zahir Raihan’s Kancher Deyal was probably the neatest film from the point of view of film making. Unusual camera angles, imaginative lighting, ‘involved’ direction and some crisp editing spoke highly of the young director’s promise as a film maker. The principal reason for its failure seems to be an over-confidence ...
Yeh Dil Aapka Hoa (2002)
The wait is finally over and more than the crew of Yeh Dil Aapka Hoa, it’s the audience who was waiting to see the film. They aren’t disappointed but aren’t smiling on their way back home either. Yes it is different, but the only difference is that now the same old wine is in a ...
