Didn't Pakistan ban half dozen films in last couple of years because of them being Anti-Pakistan?
^^
It just mean that Bollywood releases Anti-pakistan movies every year. Last time Pakistan made anti-India movie before Waar was more then decade ago. Director was Shoaib Mansoor and actor Shan again.
it actually means film production in lollywood is dead
not my intent but 2 flicks a month....Every year 25-30 movies are made even when industry is dead. You make it sound like this is the first film Pakistani industry produced in a decade.
All I want to know is when is this getting released in the USA? I am not going to watch this online. Let us support our guys for the wonderful effort. Hope this is the first of many.
The Korean cinema has come a long way. I hope Pakistan can replicate some of the strides the Koreans have made in the last 10 year or so.

Since the decline of Pakistani cinema in the 1970s, mainstream films in the country have lost originality, a good script and an audience.
In the ‘golden days’ of Pakistani cinema, the film industry churned out more than 200 films annually, today it’s one-fifth of what it used to be.
Back then more than 200 Pakistani films were made annually, today it is less than one-fifth of that.
in before the trolls come and say that its not his real twitter account or he isnt the best director in india
Ironically, Korean cinema went exactly through the same history.
It's in 1998 that Shiri symbolically resurrected it, and the rest (from Memories of Murder to New World today) is, as they say, history.
I'd like Pak cinema to take a leaf out of Iran's book too when it comes to cinema.
Pak used to produce +200 movies/year, and until the 80 they were way way better than Bollywood's melodramatic cliché script.
Then "Maula Jutt" culture appeared and all the talent got trained into the PTV dramas. That's why Pak had the most successful but also creatively versatile drama industry of Asia until the Korean invasion of the 2000s (but since few years it has found its fire again.)
^^ Wonder how that fits in with the "small hearts" theory.....
Wait it doesnt.......
RGV made the movie about Mumbai Attacks.
Its like you have been reading my mind. thats exactly what I had in mind when I mentioned Korean cinema. For a while it was all about Hong Kong but then Siri came long and it changed everything. It was an amazing movie. Now their TV shows and movies are right up there with the best of them.
Old Boy, The Host, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, The Chaser and they recently remade Hong Kong Movie Eyes in The Sky, their version's name is Cold Eyes. I thought it was brilliant.

200 movies is a huge number if you consider Pak's population back then was roughly 60 millions (and many who couldn't read/write so forget being movie directors).
To make a comparison, French cinema (leading in Europe) last year (one of its best years since the French New Wave) produced 240 movies (70 millions, 99% literacy rate.) America, with 5 times the pop of 70s Pak, pulls out approx. 400 movies per year.
There's a list of film directors, it's being updated daily but there are +700 names already
http://mazhar.dk/film/directors/
and +200 films a year gives you an idea of actors/singers/lyricists/... so you'd guess how creative the country was in its inceptive years (and I guess that's why the "older" generation is angry with Palestinian-killer Zia ul Hack for destroying the cultural set up of a vibrant nation.)
Just need a little push (and perhaps Waar is the chosen one) and we'll be back there, and no one would want to watch your B-grade 3-hours long Indian jingoistic galvanizing musical extravaganzas.
And no1 Akher no1 in the world is pleading you to watch them. You/your parents/your family/your social set/your country watch them out of free will and yet you just moan and moan like an old village woman.
Me and the aliens can watch it, it doesn't flatter its artistic value, majority of Bolly movies are crap so they're crap, as simple as that, that one or one billion watch it doesn't change that fact.
Very few peoples watch Iranian movies but you don't need to be a cultural critic to reckon that what they produce in one year in terms of movie quality Bollywood does it in one decade.

McDonalds is crap the aliens, the kid on the street, the doofus in the dog house knows it and yet millions if not billions devour it on a daily basis. MaccyD like Bolly is there for commercial purposes and till there are masses that will watch it/eat it will be produced. Your nagging will not stop the consumption even in Pakistan.
Very few folks eat Scandinavian diet, yet you dont need to be a diet guru to know it is much better for your health- yet MaccyD's outsell Scandi food day to a decade.
Bolly goes for commercial success and it gets it all over the world- even in the country that supposed to be at the fore front of India bashing.

I heard part 2 was more realistic and some people were really offended, even though they haven't seen it.
I think Salman's inspiration in picking is roles is late Pakistani actor Sultan Rahi.
I swear to God, I would not be susprised if one of these days he shouts this dialogue in one of his movies "Oye Mauley noo Maula na maarey, tey Maula kadi nai o mer sakda .. OYEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Followed by a lethal swing of his deadly gandasa, about two dozen decapitated indian villains, and a very healthy lacha kurta dressed heroine dancing in the corn fields...

I am offended just at hearing, they made a part 2.
You do not live in PK it seems .
KARACHI: Saif Ali Khan starrer “Race 2″ has reached new heights at the box office. Apart from earning exceptional figures in India, the film has become the highest grossing Bollywood film ever in Pakistan.
The action thriller gained the top position after earning $775,000 at the Pakistan box office in a few weeks after its release. The film overtook Shahrukh Khan’s 2011 action crime film “Don 2″, which collected approximately $680,000, followed by Salman Khan’s “Bodyguard” with $630,000 and “Dabangg 2″ with $600,000.
The film, a sequel to the 2008 film “Race”, has become the second highest grossing film in the country after Pakistani social drama film “Bol” which minted $1 million at collection centres.
cant believe I was dragged to this nonsense, dont attempt movies please, stick to good dramas

Geo aren't reporting it because they make their money from importing indian movies to Pakistan. They've done everything in their power to show indian movies ahead of pakistani movies in our cinemas. Their version of aman ki asha that they're making money from and ruining our industry
I dont watch TV much, but whenever GEO is on, the only thing I see is indian movies running, indian movie trailers, or indian film news.
I'm quite certain the accusations of geo taking money from indians is true, looking at how they are operating nowadays

Its quite shocking actually, if they don't change then people will start believing in sir Hamid theory. And it can be dangerous for Geo channel in the long run.
What did he say ? (didn't follow Pak news channels since ages)
What's disgusting is that they're the first to cry about the "revival of Pak cinema", yet don't give the legitimate coverage to a box-office hit such as WAAR, which could be instrumental in reviving the industry... even if its from the rival media group, you shouldn't act so paindu and have a minimum sense of professionalism, and yes it looks even worse when you know that when a Bollywood diva does some shopping it makes the headlines on their crap channel.

Don't watch it then, do you really they are going to stop making movies because some random guy don't like it.
What was better in that movie then this one? Story?Video quality?Sound effects? or what ever else come into your mind?
