I'm cross posting this from the other thread:
I hope Pakistani celebrities are scared. The content they make is terrible and feels like it comes bootlegged from India rather than a glorious Muslim nation.
When I want to watch what a good Pakistani movie should be, I watch Iranian movies.
Iran's pop music is also lightyears ahead and much better to listen to than Pakistan's pop music. I like that Iran keeps its music clean cut, well produced, doesn't copy any one else.
Pakistan's music is almost vulgar trash, barely differentiating itself from India and completely unrecognizable as pop music from a Muslim country.
Iran has famed Babak Jahanbaksh while Pakistan is stuck with Azim Azhar trying to be Justin Bieber.
The gap really shows.
I don't know maybe it's just me, Persian has always sounded more suave and sophisticated than Urdu to my ear even though I'm fluent in both. Class and touch of elegance.
Look at the difference:
Now look at the stuff coming out of Pakistan, cannot even listen to this trash
Coke Studio gives me some hope but not much. Coke Studio produces as much in 1 year as Iran does in a month with about the same quality.
