Pakistani film 'Waar'

[Saeed]

Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid [Official]

Alhamdolillah, the fire of Ishq and Junoon which we ignited for Pak Sarzameen is now burning the tails of Beyghairat Brigade and pro-India liberal fascists !! They know it too.

For the first time, a patriotic movie destroying the entire narrative of SAFMA snakes and Aman Ki Asha pimps, alhamdolillah. These snake seriously suspect, we wrote the script Well, we will not acknowledge nor deny.

Though "Waar" is not ideologically in line with Medina e Sani's spiritual role, it is still a strong patriotic movie which is setting a positive trend in fighting the information war against Pak Sarzameen.

Let them burn in hell !! This faqeer will haunt them even after their deaths !!

To all those idiots, this Nadeem F Paracha guy is a pro-india columinst and he of course in a satirical way said that zaid hamid wrote the script for waar.

 

[Runner Up]

"Films like 'Main Hoon Shahid Afridi' which took in 55 million rupees, 'Zinda Bhaag' which has also done well and now 'Waar' have given the Pakistani film industry a new credibility and distributors, exhibitors are willing to bank on them," he said.

Not saying that he is, but if he was pro-india what would be the wrong in that? OH I forgot, being pro-India means being anti-Pakistan.

How odd is it that we derive our national identity from bashing another nation lol

SOunds like a must see.

Have you checked out Morqaye`s trailer ?

Azaad is low budget but I would like to watch it , could be interesting being a psychological thriller , should be releasing this year .


The industry is slowly moving back to Karachi , hence , the movies doing well . Urdu language is understood by everyone so it has a wider audience , everyone being able to relate to it .

I dont really need to tell you whats wrong in that when we have fought four god damn wars with that country.

Where is your big talk when the same country produces tons of movies against your country?

Also, I didn't know we were still in elementary school. Two wrongs don't make a right. Every 12 year old knows that.

That taangaiN kaanp rahi haiN situation again ?

"On the first day it was released across 42 screens in the country and it took in around 11.4 million rupees which is even better than the nine million rupees mustered by 'Chennai Express' on its opening day at Eid," film distributor and owner of the Atrium multiplex cinemas, Nadeem Mandviwalla told PTI.

so you are rejoicing by the comparision of Indian and Pakistani Movie in terms of how much money they made on Pakistani soil? oh the difference is a big one 2.4 Million Rupees.. certainly "taangaiN kaanp rahi haiN" situation Congratz!

Just checked and looks nice. Will definitely go and watch whenever it is released. After watching Zinda Bhaag and Waar at Atrium Cinema, I like going there again and again and the reason is very good environment which was missing in the past. There is no more fun going to Capri, Nishat & Bambino Cinema anymore. Luckily all these Cinemas are near my home but my first preference will always be Atrium.

One was called "Musa Khan". Quite a contrast with "Guns & Roses - Ik Junoon", another Shaan venture.

Both equally cringeworthy, but at least the latter had Reema cavorting around in white. NFP suggested renaming the movie "Money, Maut aur Mombatti," because of the frequent references to money and death, and the ubiquitousness of candles.

Fiction? You mean propaganda funded by the army? We all know how dangerous propaganda can be. I don't want children to have their heads infected with hatred and lies and confusion. Fortunately, I grew out of my baseless hatred for India/Indians as I matured, but unfortunately not all do as shown by these forums.

Do they really? Is Fazl ur Rahman a prepubescent 10 year old issuing a fatwa calling a Imran Khan a "Zionist" "Jew"? Is Lashkar-e-Taiba run by 7 year olds? (and I mean physically - not intellectually). How old was Bhutto when he effectively set forth state institutionalized discrimination of Ahmadis?

Kids don't always grow up. What you put in their head really does matter, and I'm sure you agree with this.

And yes it is baseless - hatred is never justified. I'm not at all religious, but that's what my parent's interpretation of Islam taught me.

[Nostalgic]

I remember rummaging through my parents' things as a child. Somewhere between the photo albums, there were dog-eared textbooks from the West Pakistan Textbook Board, later devolved into the various provincial textbook boards after the One-Unit experiment ended.

It was an eye-opener finding those books. There were numerous stories about the 1965 War heroes in the Urdu textbook, but not once did they devolve into the sort of generalizations about Hindus that I was taught during the 80s. The Pakistan Studies one was devoid of the sort of religious mumbo-jumbo and the half-lies we had to endure.

The difference between the well-rounded individuals of our parents' generation and the infantile adults of our own couldn't be more stark. What we've been taught has made our generation such fertile recipients of the ideologies that will one day, and that day isn't too far away, sound the death knell for Pakistan.

If this is a propaganda then every country does this not just Pakistan.

1947 : India forcefully capture Kashmir (we should love India)
1965 : Instead of resisting the conflict on line of control India attacks International borders ( We should love India)
1971 : India attack Eastern border and East Pakistan cut off from West. (We should love India)
1974 : India does Nuclear bomb test and threatens Pakistan ( We should love India)
1984 : India comes inside Pakistan and capture part of siachen ( We should love India)
India continuously breaches Indus water treaty and build dams on rivers in Kashmir ( We should love India)
India open dam waters and floods Pakistan at the time of monsoon season and thousand of acres of crops destroyed every year ( We should love India)
India carries out false flag operations and blames Pakistan ( We should love India)
Indian media continuously spill venom against Pakistan ( We should love India)
Not to forget what India is doing in Afghanistan TTP,BLA,BRA [yes we know they say its a lie]
and so on...............

Other side of the story is that they say that this hatred comes from Pakistan and our so called liberals and Aman ki asha followers want not to tell the history to our children because we love India and telling this truth ignites this hatred towards India in their hearts and many times they say it is all false propaganda. Question here what has India as a government and Indian army has done to stop this hatred between the two countries. Did they stop killing in Kashmir? Did they stopped their media? Did they stopped building dams on rivers? the list goes on...

We should not make such kind of films because it affects Pakistani love for India but India every year continue to makes films on such kind of subjects

Youboy yaar sachi sachi batana.... are you Zaid Hamid himself ?

 

[youboy]

Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid

Have a confession to make Went to see WAAR last night !!!

Only when you see the movie you realize why the tails of Beyghairat Brigade are so much on fire that now they have become black and smelly

The entire patriotic narrative that RAW is backing up Khawarij, political traitors and terrorists in Pakistan has been most powerfully depicted while accepting the judicial collapse in the country which has failed to punish the terrorists. The dirty role of ANP and all those who are opposed to Kalabagh Dam have been most strongly exposed. Respect for army and anti-terrorist police have gone through the sky and the narrative that we should talk to the Khawarij has been totally destroyed.

But the most powerful aspect which has come to light is that the nation was hungry for a patriotic media and the narrative of Geo and SAFMA has been most comprehensively defeated in the country. The entire hostile information war, Aman Ki Asha, SAFMA and GEO have been humiliated beyond repair now. alhamdolillah !

ARY has emerged as a patriotic voice which is willing to stand with the nation, army and the ideology. We would strongly encourage ARY to build upon this respect which they have earned and boycott all Indian filth and become a patriotic channel as a counter narrative to SAFMA and GEO.

The movie was definitely not perfect, had many errors in representing TTP and khawarij, Urdu subtitling had some horrible spelling mistakes which are not compatible for movie of such stature, some scenes were embarrassing which could have been avoided and some war scenes seemed artificial but overall the impact that it created was patriotic, pro-Pakistan, anti-India, anti-TTP, pro-Kalabagh Dam, anti-Geo and pro-army/Police.

WAAR has sent a new trend in cinematography that patriotic, clean narrative can also be commercially viable. Pak media should take serious note of this phenomenon.

May Allah bless Pakistan and all those patriots who took part in this much needed production. Please do dua for Ali Azmat. His apendex burst within the body and he was in life threatening danger last night. In the movie, he spoke our words

stay blessed all of you and may the enemies of Pakistan burn in hell in dunya and akhira.

Werent India making movies to incite hatred in the 90s? Wasnt US making movies against USSR now ayrabs and korea comes too with White house Down. Everyone does and let me assure you the venoms were there from long time ago thats why it made money .

The question you need to ask is where did that venom come from? How was that built and developed

Bilal Lashari's Latest Interview:
In the crosshairs - DAWN.COM

Few Quotes of Bilal Lashari from Interview:

"There is one extra that I didn’t like. So we ended up adding a scene where the villain just kills him. I just wanted him dead!” he replied with a sinister smile.

“They’d say stuff like ‘We’ve heard production has shut down’ and I would say ‘No, that’s not true. I’m working my ass off, so it’s happening.’ They would say, ‘We have really reliable sources!’ and my response would be, ‘But I’m the director! It doesn’t get anymore reliable than this!’” he recalled.

“People want to believe the first thing they hear and they somehow want to make that true”, added Lashari thoughtfully.

Sounds like a fun movie. And unfortunately I have to agree with people here, after all the many movies India made and are still making, showing Pakistan as direct or indirect villain and always naming ISI etc, why the hue and cry?

Waar earns Rs40m in three days

Waar earns Rs40m in three days

LAHORE: Pakistani bilingual film Waar (in English and Urdu) did a record business of Rs40 million during the three days of Eid.

It is the highest amount earned by any Pakistani movie at the box office to date. Akshay Kumar-starrer Boss, according to the entertainment circles, played second fiddle to Waar, earning Rs10 million only.

The two low budget Pakistani movies could nowhere be seen in the light and glitter of Waar and did a meagre business. It was perhaps the first Eid after many years when a Pakistani movie took all three shows and in certain cinemas even the fourth show from 3am to 6am was also totally packed.

It is also for the first time that an Indian movie could not find many cinemas in Pakistan and its business remained quite low as compared to the Pakistani movie.

While everyone is happy as Pakistan’s most anticipated movie of the year Waar opened on the first day of Eidul Azha, some termed the movie a propaganda in their online comments.

The movie has been released with 35 prints across the country. It is an action/thriller movie, written by Hasan Waqas Rana, and stars Shaan, Shamoon Abbasi, Meesha Shafi and Ayesha Khan.

The storyline has been inspired by the war on terror in Pakistan and its effects on the world, however, one could see the stylised interpretation.

I finally managed to get tickets.

Production: 8/10
Soundtrack: 8/10
Acting: 7/10
Story: 7/10

Overall, it was an enjoyable film. Some scenes were truly breath-taking and I won't be forgetting them any time soon.

I wasn't expecting a great experience, but I'll admit I had fun. A few good laughs, a few great scenes. It was a decent show.

That`s some mirchi journalism , indeed . Waar is working because of the way the entire movie has been shot , the direction , action scenes . I don`t know one person who has liked the story .


And congratulations if you have managed to get the tickets and watch the film . Stop spoiling it for those who have not watched it yet . Zyada khushi hai tou samosay baanto lekin chup karo .

What was Chennai Express about?

What was Chennai Express about?

Shah Rukh Khan catching a train from Mumbai to Chennai and meeting Deepika Padukone onboard, whose daddy is an evil warlord in his region. One thing leads to another, and you get the usual trash where a 50 year old tries to act like he's 22.
