Pakistani films are cheap copies of Indian movies

[EastWest]

Based in Karachi, Pakistani director Faisal Aman Khan, whose movie on Imran Khan titled 'Kaptaan' is already created ripples, talks about the debate on banning Indian movies in Pakistan

What is your take on the recent debate over banning of Indian movies in Pakistan?
I have been seeing this debate on local television channels about banning Indian movies. Initially, I thought that they were right in pointing out that Indian films are being allowed to be showcased in Pakistan whereas Pakistani filmmakers were being denied the right to showcase their movies to be shown within their own country. But when I watched the movies made by these filmmakers of ours, I realized there was nothing Pakistani about those films. They were all cheap copies of Indian movies. We had talented filmmakers in the past but that is the problem. We live in the past to glorify ourselves with the achievements made by our forefathers. There is no doubt that there is enormous talent in our country and talent should be tested by pitching it against competition not by playing a cricket match alone. The sort of movies being made by our filmmakers is a disgrace. Very rarely does the educated class go out to watch the movies made by the traditional lot. When a film like "Zar Gul" is banned in Pakistan and "The Blood of Hussain" along with "Immaculate Conception" made by intelligent people like Salman Pirzada and Jamil Dehlavi respectively just because they had political themes or were against the Armed establishment of the country. Remember "Junoon" was banned by the successive regimes of Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif? The kind of cinema to come out of Pakistan is what you see today where "Haseena Atom Bomb" sort of movies dominate the screen. It's not just movies, it's the same with music.

But what about movies like "Khuda Key Liye", "Ramchand Pakistani" and "Bol"?
As a Pakistani and a filmmaker, I might not agree with a lot of things shown in those movies. But everyone should have the right to express themselves and what better way than to use films as a medium?

What do you have to say about this thing about India's cultural invasion?
With all due respect, we have already lost the battle but to win the war for the hearts and minds of our own people, we should come up with quality stuff and enlighten, entertain and educate the masses through media. That should be the policy followed by filmmakers. Sadly, I don't see that happening which makes me sadly admit the fact as rightly put forward by one of India's ex prime minister that "We have invaded Pakistan culturally". Yes, India has done it already but my question is to my fellow media professionals and Pakistanis generally. Would you stop watching Indian movies if they were not being shown in cinemas? No, you won't because it's human nature. It is curious to see and experience things on their own. So, let them do it. But we should come out with quality stuff of our own to be distinctive and should carry our own image. Cinema owners of Pakistan should give Pakistani filmmakers the right platform and a level playing field by giving as much promotion to the Pakistani movies as they do to promote Indian movies because it's just an excuse people use because they are afraid that they might have to change the way they are.

Pakistani films are cheap copies of Indian movies

First of all, come up with a better (impartial) source.

Secondly, let's get to the specifics. Which specific Pakistani movies are a copy of Indian ones? List them.

 

[Drawn_Sword_of_God]

LOL what a joke!
bollywood is the biggest copied here

Where is the actual interview? Indian sources are notorious of cooking stuff up & taking things out of context, especially when it comes to Pakistan. Which specific movies have been copied from India?

 

[desimorty]

Indian films are often cheap rip offs of hollywood and very rarely vice versa. Its the exchange of ideas and thoughts.

Which specific movies?

Who directed them?

When were they released?

I mean C'mon!

Dude , it was an interview, not an interrogation!

...and talking of Indian sources being 'notorious for cooking up stuff'...shall we talk of how your Pak media cooks up Wikileaks instead...and then refuses to apologise?

Give it a break. The Pakistani guy said something that bruised your ego.

Accept it for his opinion and move on rather than picking 'baal ki khaal'.

I see no interview here. It is very easy for the Indian media to cook stuff up, especially if it is against Pakistan. That is why I am asking for a more impartial source. Whenever I report news on India, I always use Indian sources, not Pakistani ones.

Impartial as in 'The Nation Pakistan'?

..and FYI, assuming you do not know, that is the thing about 'exclusive interviews'...they are...eh!...exclusive

If TOI faked it, wait for the interviewee to come up with a rebuttal.

...as long as he doesn't, ToI's version will be considered final.

...and stop diverting the issue from the interview to the credibility of the interviewer.

Music Director: R.D. Burman


Copied From: If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium (Walter Scharf)

deal about "stealing" credit for another's work.




Hindi Song: Tu Waaqif Nahin (Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi)


Music Director: Anu Malik


Copied From: Fernando (ABBA)

Hindi Song: Chaand Sitaare (Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai)


Music Director: Rajesh Roshan

Brace yourself; you're about to see Rajesh Roshan's ugly
history of blatantly stealing from Vangelis for his themes.

Copied From: Conquest Of Paradise (Vangelis)


Note: Again, the recurring humming theme in Koyla is a copy.

Note: Et tu, Sandeep?




Hindi Song: Roundhe Hai (Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya)
