Zehr-e-Ishq (1958)
Zehr-e-Ishq is a bold experiment in finding new and better values for the Pakistani film. It defies convention in almost every respect – subject matter, treatment, and music. There is no relying on pseudo drama or cheap emotionalism. This clean film raises the crucial question – how far aesthetic values can be adhered to in ...
Jago Hua Savera (1959)
A.J. Kardar’s featurised documentary Jago Hua Savera (released abroad titled Day Shall Dawn) undoubtedly earned Pakistan whatever international prestige it has in the realm of cinema. The theme was based on the lives of the fishermen of East Bengal. It was beautifully shot by the distinguished British photographer Walter Lassally. Kardar received his filmic training ...
Jhoomar (1959)
The most characteristic feature of the work of Khurshid Anwar-Masud Parvez unit is their endeavor to broaden the scope of filmic expression to bring screen spectacle closer to natural drama. With their technical skill and understanding of the medium they combine an admirable courage to experiment. In Jhoomar, they have tackled one of the most ...
Saath Laakh (1957)
Saifuddin Saif, a poet turned film maker, produced Saath Laakh, an unusual social drama with all the ingredients of a masterpiece, barring the inadequate sets which were more indicative of a paucity of funds rather than a slur on the director’s imagination. The film can be categorized in the genre of Frank Capra’s comedy of ...
Hum Aik Hain (2004)
Syed Noor began making 786 almost two years back. This film was completed earlier this year and the title was changed to Hum Aik Hain, as the Censor Board Members did not approve of 786. Syed Noor has often claimed in recent months that this film is his effort for promoting sectarian harmony, unity and ...
Do Ansoo (1950)
Sentimental melodrama beginning with the dilemma of a spoilt and prodigal Nawab, played competently by Himaliyawala, who has one daughter born to his mistress, a resident of local brothel, and one to his legally wedded wife. Two daughters bring twofold woes as the title of the film implies. His family pride is at stake with ...
Chingari (1964)
Chingari has all the qualities in greater measure of its predecessors: a musical score of rare virtuosity, mature craftsmanship, and a high standard of artistic integrity. What makes it stand out still higher is the significance of the theme, for it touches upon an issue of life as important as any other, and compels the ...
Buddha Gujjar (2002)
Syed Noor has, during the last decade or so, acquired the status of the filmmaker in Pakistan but his critics say his movies seldom defy the ‘formula’. His latest flick, Buddha Gujjar, in more ways than one justifies this criticism. The narrative is simplistic – rather one-dimensional like most movie plots in Pakistan. The form, ...
Aik Gunah Aur (2005)
Aik Gunah Aur features Meera right after her Indian Film debut but that doesn’t stop it from following the formula and the story is based on the life and times of a nawab’s illegitimate daughter who is adopted by a Madam of infamous Red Light area. As the little girl starts to grow it is ...
