According to the review it’s depiction of the Pashtun and Baloch tribes seems quite stereotypical so I am reserving judgement on this movie.

ps: Shan is THE half way decent actor in Lollywood.

The fact that Naseeruddin Shah is in here is enough to watch the film.

On a side note: ISI claims to have arrested Dawood Ibrahim India’s most wanted man! The sad part of the whole saga is that we are to believe that Dawood was never in Pakistan but was arrested as soon as he set foot in Pakistan! Heh… some Pakistani newspapers are caliming that the don was killed during a gambling brawl with Karachi mob… heh… now thats what you call Lollywood.

I am glad that Shoib Mansoor is on this blog. He is master of his game.

I must say I don’t really know much about Pakistani cinema…

You do know that Lollywood movies are all uniformly shite, don’t you?

This movie isn’t Lollywood, any more than the art house movies Shabana Azmi, Nandita Das, Om Puri et al make in India can be called Bollywood

I recently went to Pakistan for the first time and found it full of contradictions like many countries that are pigeon holed, often are. I did however, find it amusing that they had “khusre” dancing in the same streets where you would find chador clad women and cinema posters depicting XXX films….

This from the same lollywood where the actresses are ‘on loan’ to rich men and in a country where long-haired opinionated rock bands like Junoon are banned?

There’s hope yet

That looks brilliant Bartholomew. There is one clip on YouTube (the objects in the sky are the four holy books of Islam):

Looks like things have moved on a bit since International Gorillay.

I was always told that Lollywood was like the old Batman series, with ‘kepows’ and the sound of the punch five seconds after the actual punch. This trailer is somewhat of a letdown I must say.
