It is precisely these reason because of which we cant make "Good" films! What is considered "Good" in Pakistan is the cheap commercialism that we see in industries such as India's Bollywood. Plots stolen from a hundred different movies, songs stolen from Pakistan or America, and actors in way too much makeup to seem desi? Is that really what we want? Pakistan is a nation of serious dramatists and writers who can write commercial but still with a touch of art. Our dramas are an example of what Pakistan produces and can produce however what we need to learn is how to transfer that over onto the Big screen so viewers dont feel like they are sitting at home watching a Drama series.
Shoaib Mansoor, after the success of "Khuda Ke Liye" is coming out with another film "Bol". The cast of Bol includes the star of Mansoor's last block Buster, Iman Ali and continuing the trend Mansoor picked another singer and this time its Pop icon Atif Aslam making his debut. Also, VJ Mahira will be making her debut as well, giving the whole film a certain freshness. The film is going through some last minute details and is all set to release next year.
Not only that but British Director Steve Moore is brewing up a Project in Pakistan by the name of Tamanna. The film has a small cast and is mostly filmed in Lahore to save costs and spend money on quality! Like Shoaib Mansoor, Steve Moore doesnt believe in the Labels "Hero" and "Heroin" but rather takes actors as actors and gives them characters. The Main character of Moore's film is Faryal Gohar who is far from any young "Heroin" but rather a character in a film as films should be.
