good yar.bus pemra ko call karo kay yeah 6 packs bhi fahashi phela rahey hainwasey karna unhon nay kuch nahi hay kyu kay gherat siraf larkiyon kay malmely main hi jagti hay un ki
Pemra doesn't overlook film industry.
Film industry in Pakistan has zero cultural relevance.
Nobody watches em, they are extremely vulgar either for low borrow class (Ghatiya dances, mujra, typical Saima/badmaash films) or for 1% wanna be liberals of the society (films with short dresses and overly glamorized models etc).
That's why film industry is literally non-existent in Pakistan (Thank God for that).
If Pakistan doesn't make movies that connect to the masses, are relevant to our local culture, and present us on screen and not a slutty Mehwish hayat wearing booty shorts on camera---Pakistan's film industry will remain irrelevant and a non-factor in the wider cultural fabric of our nation.
Your drama industry is thriving within our local market. Hundreds of millions of Pakistanis watch em. Why? Our dramas represent us...the good, the bad, and the ugly of us. They are culturally appropriate for mass consumption. They don't show some random slut grinding her half-naked butt on some dude's dick. And hence our masses watch these dramas.
Only if film industry had some intellectually ept people and not inferiority complex stricken low-achievers in life who think aping western culture will make em "sophisticated" or "modern"
Look at Iranian cinema--they make top quality movies suited for their local cultural context and not only win Iranians hearts---but regularly make it to world film events for awards, and honors.

Buzzwords?
That's what people like you use all the time to portray 'liberal' image of Pakistan....devoid of any reality.
Show me one sentence that I wrote which isn't a ground reality.
Btw, the "highest grossing film" ever in Pakistan gathered $4.2 million from Pakistan
That's the highest grossing film of an industry of a 200 million+ country. Shows how utterly irrelevant Pakistan's film industry is.
But for wanna be's like you...facts and reality is "buzzword"

Maybe you should keep in mind the utter destruction during Zia regimes and the revival and huge growth during the last 10 years where budgets increased from 1 crore to 40 crore as the number of cinemas grow so will earning and budgets
Whats liberal about growth of the cinema
When a Pakistani filmActor in Law was uploaded it trended at no 1 for days also Jawani Phir Nahi Ani was one of the most watched video in 2016 maybe you dont see that but i see gradual replacement of bollywood in Pakistan give 8 more years we will see earnings touch 100 crore line
Maybe you are happy when Pakistanis spend on Indian content i am not
Waar was released on 30 screens there are 130 for yalghaar and Mehrunisa it

Why you should watch Yalghaar
Arti Dani
Last updated on June 19, 2017 at 4.48 pm
THE ENTIRE WORLD was shocked when more than 100 children lost their lives during an attack on a school in Peshawar in 2014. Fast forward three years, the story of this unfortunate incident is now being brought to the big screen by director Hassan Raja through his film Yalghaar (meaning assault or attack).
With a multi-starrer cast including Shaan Shahid, Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Armeena Khan, Aleeze Nasser, Ayesha Omer, Irfan Gilani and Sana Bucha, this Pakistani war drama is touted to be the biggest movie production in the country.
Moreover, Dubai-based Aleeze Nasser and Pakistani actor Syed Irfan Gilani are making their debut in this film. They came down to the office of Khaleej Times recently to talk about Yalghaar.
Dubai raised Aleeze is working opposite Adnan Siddiqui, who has just worked in a movie with Sridevi called Mom.
Said Aleeze, who is all excited to make her debut in the most expensive film from Pakistan: "I play a girl who is new to the country. She moves there after marrying an army man. It's about how she is faced with the challenges of the language barrier and spending time alone, as the husband is mostly away. All the characters are relatable. The backdrop is that of war and action and all the stuff that people go through when they are in the army. The producers have taken the real story and actors have been picked up accordingly."
Syed told us that he had a dream debut. He actually had no intentions of acting in the movie, but the director spotted him and roped him in for a role. "I would often be on the sets because my friends and family were part of the film. This is my first movie. The director used to call me saying he wanted an officer who looked like me for his movie. I told him that I cannot act in a movie but he was persistent. This movie is based on the real story about the Swat Operations."
It took three years and extensive research for the movie to go on the floors. The production was huge and it needed a vast number of choppers and heavy ammunition. An artificial tunnel too was dug in Karachi to replicate the ones in North Waziristan.
Syed also revealed that army officers were constantly present on the sets to guide the cast and the crew. "We had a lot of majors (army) in the movie. They were also performing as actors apart from guiding us. Some of the officers who worked in the movie were part of the Swat Operations. This film explores what happens in the lives of those involved, including the militants, soldiers and their families and how all of them are affected on a personal level because of the operations," said Syed.
The movie has been in the making for a long time, no wonder the actors cannot wait to see the reaction of the audiences. "I would be lying if I said that I am not nervous. I am curious to see the audience reaction. I want to see how my performance is received. I want this film to do well because a lot of hard work has gone into the making of the movie. The entire cast worked endlessly!
"The movie is releasing in 60 countries and will be dubbed in many languages. People should watch Yalghaar because it is a huge movie with a big star cast and it would be nice to see what people have put into it," said Aleeze.
Message to KT readers
Syed: Khaleej Times is the best newspaper in the UAE. Thanks a lot, Suhail Galadari, for all the support. You have to see Yalghaar. Take care!
Aleeze: Khaleej Times is the best newspaper ever. I have grown up reading it and I continue to read it. I would request Khaleej Times readers to watch Yalghaar when it releases because it would mean a lot to me as I was born and raised here. I would like to congratulate Suhail for having a huge company like Khaleej Times. Thank you for having us at your office.
More about Aleeze
Aleeze: I was born and raised in Dubai. I studied at St Mary's School. After my A-levels, I left for the US. I am of Turkish-Pakistani oriigin. I am neither from television or theatre. Acting was a passion for me from childhood. I have learnt various forms of dancing. After doing my bachelor's degree in business, I went to the New York Film Academy in LA and did a degree course for around three-and-a-half years which entailed movie-making and acting. I consider myself an international person and I work globally. I look at this movie as my stepping stone into the film industry and I am hoping to work in different genres. My passion lies in dancing and doing light comedy and romantic films whether it be Bollywood, Hollywood or Pakistani films. I would love to see Dubai come up with its own movie industry one day.
Who inspires them?
Aleeze: I have been in the company of huge Hollywood celebrities, who used to come to our university to give lectures and talk to us. I like Michael Caine, Meryl Streep. In terms of Bollywood, I admire Aamir Khan and Salman Khan. When it comes to Pakistani cinema, I would say that it is still a budding industry. But from the drama industry, I admire Shehnaz Shaikh.
Irfan: I love Sanjay Dutt!
