The “near to
die” Pakistani cinema
industry, finally got a
wall to hold
itself from a
complete fall.
The nomination of movie “Zinda Bhaag” in Oscar is a towering
achievement of Lollywood and it has been said that Pakistan’s film industry is
back in business.
The industry which
grasps more than 700 cinemas in past has only few more than hundred today.
Many reasons were been given for the collapse of industry by
film critiques and among them main
reasons were the same theme of movies, which started in middle of the last
century in the name of romance and after that “Gandaasa” culture ruled our
cinema which turned people’s mind towards eastern side of the sub-continent i.e
“Bollywood “, resulting a giant decrease in production of local films about 25
a year.
Ice was finally broke down when Shoaib Mansoor’s “Khuda Ke
Lie” entered Pakistani cinema and after that a number of emerging actors, directors
and producers stepped into the deep sea of film industry.
Shahzad Nawaz is also one of them whose “Chambeli, The
Fragrance Of Freedom” released in April this year and succeeded in provoking
thoughts among youngsters of the country. A new kind of script,
idea and vision was picked up happily by Pakistani audience and they become
hopeful to beat neighboring cinemas soon.
Furthermore the cooperation of ISPR in making movies like
WAR, Operation 021 and Saaya-e-Khudaye Zuljalal which are ready to release,
will give a rise to cinema and provide the sense among people of “what actually
is going on around them.” But, we shouldn’t rely completely on movies based on
the subject of “revolution” or “war against terror” otherwise it will not take
time to turn this era into same which destroyed the cinema industry.
Al last there is something to cheer for Pakistani audience
as their fully own movie is now nominated for Oscar… hurray!
