Public Service is fine, and a noble thought. But you have to provide the public service if someone asks for it. It is just your opinion, as the movie has already made 9CR essentially by word of mouth after a very weak opening, with an extremely rated, disturbing and explicit theme/ dialogue. So...

This film is STILL playing in the theaters in Pakistan ! in its 14th week, which no Bollywood has yet been able to achieve at the Pakistan Box office. And in general, it is quite rare even in the US to see a film get into 14th week in this day and age. They are usually off after 3 months max.

If you are going to spoil a movie, then you need to give at least a SPOILER warning before the paragraph.

It comes down to a basic question. Whether cinema is supposed to be just entertainment, just art, or just mass communication mechanism. In reality every film is all three, and not restricted to just one of them. But different people believe different things, and that is what drives the lack of...

It is not clear whether in this case the producer owned the rights, or the rights were owned by the writer. It all depends upon the contract they had with each other in 1979. If the writer owns the rights, then they already have him on board. If the producer owned the rights, then they need to...

Well, thats usually the objective....

Apparently this movie is also banned now. They said it was Shoaib Mansoor's boldest film yet. I thought it was not possible to be bolder than BOL (2011). But apparently this one was as this won't even get a release, at least in Isbd. Hopefully, the censor board will come to its senses, just give...

I think barring the Bollywood films of Shahrukh Khan, Amir Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, the local films compete well with the other Bollywood movies at the Box office. So I don't think any protection is needed. Local film distributers should just avoid head on clash with the 6-7 big...

@Zibago I think that PNJ did break a new barrier in becoming the first Pakistani film to almost touch 50CR worldwide business. NMA2 could have very easily broken the 30CR barrier as well this year if they actually had a worldwide release, but they kept it local after getting banned in UAE. Lets...

There are 5 films (Maula Jatt, Parchi, Rangreza, Verna and Arth) coming out in the next 2-3 months. They all have promotional content and also will have post release discussions. How many are needed to qualify as "much going on" ?

Well, lets see. PDF is a real discussion forum, if someone has something to say and wants to discuss in detail. The other platforms are more "comment" oriented.

Just talking about movies and their trailers. Not sure how someone can take that to heart so much that they find the time to troll elsewhere.

I thought the reason some of these movie threads got moved to the Member's Club was because "General Photos and Multimedia" was not considered the appropriate forum for Pakistani Movie discussions. Also, one sticky thread for all Pakistani movies, for both post and pre release discussions...

Yes.

Since we have talked about the lack of Trailer views of Arth, what I am seeing now on my channel is that it started off slow, but has now overtaken Rangreza trailer reaction views. Still at about half of Verna which spiked during the first 2 days of release, but on a daily basis after 10 days...

@Divergent Who do we need to contact to get some traction on creating this separate forum? Where should I suggest this?

I was thinking that it is much simpler to have a Pakistani Cinema forum, under "Pakistan Affairs" section. If you want a general entertainment forum, then we can follow the same rules as above for Hollywood, and also Bollywood movies since they play in Pakistan. For TV series, it will be a...

I would recommend that we limit to 2 threads per movie 1st covering teaser release till movie release, covering all promotional activities, trailer videos, trailer reactions etc. 2nd covering post movie release discussions, including movie reviews, public reaction, box office performance etc...

A landmark film as it jumpstarted the new age of Pakistani Cinema, and proved out the business model of high budget film production in Pakistan, Waar is still the film which has not been surpassed by other Pakistani films in terms of cinematography and stylistic action. And perhaps also having...
