Pakistan’s Film world is one of the most
controversial industries in the country. If we go through the statistics
of last 20 years, we will notice that the industry has been in severe
loss where the low quality movies suffered with no viewers ready to give
even a look. However, a drastic change can be seen in last 5 years when
a new lot of Talented Directors, young and capable actors, and improved
technology, together contributed in promoting the Talent of Pakistan.
It is now easier to distinguish between the quality
work of today and the trivial nonsense of previous movies which were
either based on stolen scripts of Bollywood or were simply focused on
how to make things look vulgar in limited budget. But the coming era can
be taken as a new hope in Showbiz.
If we go back few years back, the first step that was
taken towards the revival of media is was Javed Sheikh’s Yeh Dil Apka
Hua, where some new technology and a good music was introduced in the
movie, however, acting still needed so much improvement. The next medal
that was added in the Pakistan film industry was Shoaib Mansoor’s khuda k
liye starring Shan, Fawad Khan and Eman Ali. The movie unfolded the
real issues of the country. The movie highlighted the sufferings of
Pakistanis on both ends where they were bitterly executed in the hands
of west and by the extremist within the country. Although the movie had
to face a serious criticism by the religious extremists in the country,
but the majority of the viewers literally loved the concept.
Shoaib Mansoor turned out to be a real hero and came
up again with Ramchand Pakistani which was a bigger hit. The movie was
recognized universally and was again based on the real issues. Next was
Bol that introduced Mahira Khan as an actress that people always wanted
to see after Marina Khan Shehnaz Sheikh. Shoaib was intelligent enough
to use Atif Aslam’s fan following by casting him in the film. The film
was encouraged across the country.
In short, An obvious change is evident that would really work for the betterment of the nation.
