how was bol, was it better than bollywood movie???

 

[Karachiite]

better than your shows, live in denial dude... Iam sure you would have grown up watching Indian shows ;D

I grew up watching Canadian and American channels. Just 2 years ago I started taking interest in Pakistani shows 2 years ago and now I'm all hooked on it. I heard indian tv serials are only about some neglected wife facing problems with her in laws, she dies but comes back thanks to plastic surgery and these shows last like generations.

Now look at Pakistani dramas. They actually talk about society issues and stuff then you also have comedy dramas like Nadaniyaan, Bulbulay etc. Then you have reality shows like Living on the Edge, Sangeet Icon etc.

Ripple Effect: Banned Indian channel the most watched on Pakistani cable TV

Nice source lol some kid blogging on blogspot lmaoo.

how was bol, was it better than bollywood movie???

Never watched a bollywood movie in my life but yes Bol was pretty good and shocking you can say. It tackled themes that are taboo like incest, gang rape, homosexuality, child abuse etc. Acting was great. never knew Atif Aslam was a such a good actor. Direction from Shoman was good. Cinematography was excellent. The soundtrack was average. But story wise it was a pretty good movie. If you though Khuda ke Liye was sad and stuff this one is on a whole new level. Bol sucks you inside its world and holds your attention through the rest of the movie.

star plus is highly watched, , because it contains music, lust of colourful drama, and the serials go for four to five years, the dramas dont make sense but its lucrative of idle women in pakistan, who can and the fact they televise back to back four to five dramas, all of the same nature and type, star plus is not banned, other channels are just copying star plus to get the same voewership, if they sit at 7 or 8 o clock, they will stand up after 12 o clock

Actually you are wrong . Khuda ke Liye was "critically" much much better than most of our standard lame-comedy Bollywood fare. But critical , artistic movies do not appeal to the general public. They (at least in the subcontinent ) hunker after excess melodrama, song and dance etc.

If you are to make The Lollywood industry cash rich and mass-appealing , you cant deviate from standard staple demand i.e melo-dramatic crap.

Critical movies are only good for winning awards , not for business.

its all about trend dude, when trend changes, all things change, pakistanis started watching indian movies when cables came, before that pakistanis only watched pak dramas and pak movies, till they were upto standard

the thing india is good at is mrketing and mass production, thats why it film industry is booming, how you market one product has fundamental significance

Ali Zafar Goes Out of The Way to Promote Pakistani Film Industry​

Although we know that Ali Zafar is busy shooting films in B-town, he is being more than supportive of his own film industry and seems to be going out of his way to do that.

Recently at the Lahore premier of the film ‘Bol‘, Ali Zafar, despite his differences with Shoaib Mansoor in the past not only made his presence at the premier but being asked by the event producer, even agreed to introduce the film to the audience and also introduced Atif Aslam for his performance before the film. Ali was extremely articulate and generous with his words and praise for the project and the people involved including Atif Aslam. Such caliber of humility is rarely witnessed amongst entertainment industry nowadays.

Besides this, Ali has also agreed to sing the title song for Reema’s film “Love Mein Gum” without charging her anything. The video has all the major celebrities in the country dancing to Ali’s voice.

Seems like we have one icon here who doesn’t forget his roots and keeps giving back.

Movie on Imran Khan: Will ‘Kaptaan’ hit a sixer?​

LAHORE:
A group of young independent filmmakers has undertaken the initiative of producing an independent feature film called Kaptaan, based on Imran Khan’s high-profile life following the end of his cricket career.

As Pakistan’s former captain or Kaptaan, Khan stamped the cricket field with his talent and charisma. Years later, he is just as famous after transforming into a successful politician and social activist. The movie based on the former cricket star’s life, which is still in post-production phase, explores the experiences of a man who dedicates his life to his country while also struggling with personal and spiritual anguish.

Faisal Aman Khan, an independent filmmaker who is based in the UK, is directing the film. Aman Khan admitted that he had the idea of making this movie two years ago after he graduated from film school. According to his colleagues, Faisal met Khan several times during the research phase of the project to get his endorsement.

“Imran Khan was reluctant at first and claimed that it was more important to focus on other aspects of the country, Faisal’s persistence finally paid in ultimately convincing him,” said Naveed Anwar, the film’s assistant director and screenwriter. “We wanted to make a film that would project the positive side of Pakistan. It was hard as there are very few personalities in Paksitan that have a global appeal.”

Anwar, who has directed several short films, explained that the story centers on how Khan’s disappointment at Pakistan’s dismal state of affairs triggered him to enter the political arena. He also juxtaposes Khan’s struggle for Pakistan’s future with that of Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s.
The film also recreates scenes of major incidents such as his arrest at Punjab University in Lahore, his hunger strike while in jail and then certain intimate scenes with his ex-wife, Jemima Khan.

A big challenge before shooting the movie was the selection of the actor suitable for the protagonist’s role. After numerous screen tests and auditions for the lead role, the team decided to pick local model Abdul Mannan, who has an uncanny resemblance to the cricketer. Anwar said that it was especially difficult to find someone who could play Khan’s part, since there were very few people who match the physical features and demeanour of the 1992 World Cup captain.

Mannan, who is not an avid follower of Pakistani politics due to its dismal state, said that he had to study various video clips of the cricketer-turned-politician to do justice to the role. He claimed that the film provided inspiration and would make people realise the state of the country and hence take more interest in its affairs. “There have been films such as Jinnah and Gandhi, this is another inspiring story of a nation’s hero,” said Mannan. “There are things people forget about him.”

Mannan is paired with Saeeda Imtiaz, a Pakistani-American model based in New York, who is playing Jemima Khan’s role. Her role highlights the various challenges of living in Pakistan that Khan’s former wife faced and also highlights her complex relationship with the former cricket star. Imtiaz, who took nearly six months to prepare for her part, says “The way the movie is shot — the use of lighting and the fact that the filmmakers are young and full of ideas — will give the film a unique look,” said Imtiaz.

Insiders claim that the film will be ready for distribution this fall but are staying tight-lipped about the scheduled date for the release. Currently, the plan for distribution is that it will get a theatre-wide release in Pakistan and abroad as well. Over 107 actors have been used for the movie and the production team includes 12 people.

Wow never new about these movies just heard of bol because those guys used their channel for advertising and used a mobile brand for advertising elsewhere.

IMO one of the most important things movies here lack is good marketing and a proper business plan.
