Billi is a 2000 Pakistani Urdu film directed by Syed Noor

Billi is a 2000 Pakistani Urdu film directed by Syed Noor starring Meera, Noor and Saima. This horror film is supposedly based on a true story about a victim turning into a scum-busting Avenger.

Plot: The film opens with a sexy scene where fiery criminal lawyer Meera is being gang-raped to put a rapist behind bars, but sadly for her the judge rules against her and the scumbag is set free. Though the rapist walks free from the law courts of the land, is there a power on earth who can save him from the justice of the “Billi” – a shadowy figure dressed in a black cat-suit who has taken to the streets at night rounding up all scum and sleaze and dishing out her own brand of justice to chilling effect.

There is an earnest police office (Uthba) determined to nab the cat but he doesn’t appear to be making much headway as this cat appears to have at least nine lives. In her brutal quest for justice she doesn’t even spare the lawyer representing the rapist who was basically just doing his job. She corners him one dark, stormy night and hacks off his tongue so he can never twist a case to his benefit as he had done with the rape case. Uthba tries to marry Meera but she manages to castrate him.

Meera looks glamorous and turns in a suitably theatrical performance as the lawyer though she might refrain from using her English too often as her phrases are somewhat bizarre as in when she exclaims “Live Long Billi” when she probably meant “Long Live Billi”….and there is another occasion when she asks Saud if he entered from the “Bal-Konee” where one did a slight double take before realizing exactly what she meant. Sadly after the courtroom opening scene, there isn’t much else for Meera to do as the focus shifts to Noor and Saima’s characters for the rest of the film. The feline superhero rapist bashing Billi becomes a feminist champion and icon for all her deeds and the downtrodden support her wholeheartedly yet the police are embarrassed by its inability to apprehend Billi. Who is she? Where does she come from? What has turned her into the killing machine she is?

Saud has two brothers, one a fine upright journalist (Arbaz Khan) while the younger one is a total wastrel spending all his time boozing, womanizing and listening to really bad late 70’s disco as in Lipps Inc’s horrendous Funky Town! He clearly has some serious issues to grapple with and hangs out in a den of debauchery where such “anarchic” words are sprayed all over the walls and ceiling such as “Snake, Love, Cool, Crazy, Kill and Prince” – almost Mansonesque!

Seasoned veteran Nadeem plays Noor’s sensitive father, a man who has lost his first wife to some accident and who now has to deal with a daughter who is deeply troubled due to a tragedy that befell her when she was an 8 year old child. Noor is also determined to find her father a replacement wife and her primary candidate is a golden hearted village bumpkin Saima. Though Nadeem finds the idea preposterous at first, slowly he begins to warm to Saima’s busty charms and they are soon married.

Twists are revealed in a typically dramatic scenes.

Cast: Saima, Noor, Meera, Saud, Nadeem and Arbaz Khan. 

Kyun Tum Say Itna Pyar Hai is a Pakistani Urdu Film

Kyun Tum Say Itna Pyar Hai is a Pakistani Urdu Film starring Veena Malik, Ajab Gul and Arbaz Khan. he makers of this movie are professional people who have made their mark from their previous project Khoaye Ho Tum Kahan in the film industry both within Pakistan and abroad. This film is Directed by Ajab Gul who has a long affiliation with TV, Stage & Film industry in Pakistan. The technical aspect of this film is also very different from previous Lollywood movies.

Plot: Two present-day actors, Javed Shaikh and Ajab Gul, have successfully graduated to direction with the former taking the lead. Shaikh has seven movies to his name, while the recently released Kyun Tum Se Itna Pyar Hai is Gul’s second outing as director. There are also other common factors between the two — both are essentially television products, continue acting in films and are romantically inclined in their approach to film-making. Gul’s Khoey Ho Tum Kahan was a love story. The title of his second film suggests another excursion in the same direction but its romantic content, making a sensational resurgence towards the end, is a thriller with break-neck momentum and exciting action.

A positive aspect of these actors-directors’ work is their stress on quality. While a lot differentiates their films from other local productions, it is the technical value (a constant casualty in Pakistani films) that distinguishes their output. Also, they try to make films for all segments of society and provide wholesome entertainment that can be watched by viewers who have given up on local cinema.

The film starts as a clash between good and evil, a landscape that marks cinema across the world. The pursuits are represented in the film by two individuals who are deeply committed to their way of life. The characters are brilliantly rendered by versatile artists Nadeem and Talat Hussain, with quiet assertiveness by the former and boisterousness and exuberance by the latter.

The families of the two, a former judge (Nadeem) and ex-chief minister (Talat Hussain) are interlinked by nuptials, but do not serve as bonds. Talat is a power-hungry politician who stops at nothing — bribery, killings, abductions — to achieve his goals. He is under investigation and the man in charge of the case is Nadeem’s character, the traditional upstanding citizen and an upholder of values and justice.

The only blemish in Nadeem’s life is two wives, one being Ajab Gul’s mother with whom he has a strained relationship. Police officer Babrak Shah by the other wife is acknowledged as his son and so the stepbrothers have a strong dislike for each other. They also share the love of the same girl (Talat’s daughter played by Veena Malik) whose marriage to Babrak deepens the enmity and a sense of deprivation in Gul.

The first half comprises well-knit, absorbing sequences that keep viewers on the edge of their seats, not only because of twists and turns in the narrative but also by forceful portrayals of characters by the two veteran actors. Talat Hussain adds another laurel to his credentials by effectively casting off the image of being a single dimension artist with pragmatically delivered ruthless villainy.

In a manner of speaking, the two consummate artists make a negative contribution to the film because other than Gul, most players look wanting in comparison. The saving grace in the acting department is the bit roles by some known television and film actors such as Tahira Wasti and Nighat Chaudhry. Gul makes a tremendous and successful effort to match their histrionic talent but it is Babrak Shah, good looking with the right build to play the lead in our films, who has an extremely difficult time. Gul could also have done better by eschewing the Khal Nayak image and at times, gestures.

The second-half of the film is almost pure action, fast-moving and lethal, but in the absence of major progression in the narrative, some footage tends to drag. Fortunately, the director, also the writer, tightens his hold in the end with a highly dramatic climax.

The action and chase sequences have been expertly handled by cinematographer Waqar Bokhari, but could have been more slickly edited. The music has been composed by the writer, director and actor and one wishes he had hired a professional. The dances are well choreographed, but Sana who makes a special appearance could have been given a more sensational wardrobe for her number. Kyun Tum Se Itna Pyar Hai, however, is an action movie, a thriller extraordinary with which conventional entertainment does not gel well.

Cast: Veena Malik, Ajab Gul, Arbaz Khan, Rasheed Naz, Babrak Shah, Asif Khan, Priya and Nadeem.

Plot So Far: Pani Jaisa Piyar is the story of Sana, a 25 year old girl from Faisalabad. She has two older siblings, Hassan and Dua. Sana's family used to be wealthy and of a high social class, but this all went away after the death of her father. The family's only support now is that of Hassan, who quit school at an early age in order to support the family. Sana has been engaged to Adarsh, the son of her mother's best friend Arfa ever since she was a child. Adarsh, however, has been unaware of this engagement, as his parents thought that he needed to focus more on his education than wedding plans.

Adarsh, however, is in love with Sasha, a childhood friend of his. When he tells his parents that he wishes to marry her, they refuse, saying that he is already engaged to Sana and that he will have to leave their home if he doesn't marry her. After much deliberation, Adarsh decides that it would be best to marry Sana, as their is no point in marrying Sasha if they have no home and no money.

Back in Faisalabad, Sana's brother Hassan is taken to prison after getting into a fight with boys from the neighborhood who were making inappropriate remarks towards Sana. Hassan's best friend, Saad, who has no family of his own, takes care of the 2 sisters and their mother in Hassan's absence. Saad has already told Sana that he likes her, but has never done or said anything more on the matter as he knows that she is already engaged. Sana feels uncomfortable in his presence, but her mother, thinking that Saad will stop aiding them, makes Sana spend time with him anyway, as she believes that the only feelings Saad has towards her daughter are brotherly. Saad takes Sana out to dinner one day, and he takes Sana to his house to show her around. Sana refuses at first, but says yes after Saad insists. Saad shows Sana his room, which is decorated with pictures of her, and confesses that he is in love with her. He asks for one night with her, and rapes her when she tries to run away. He takes her back home an hour or two later, telling her that he will withdraw Hassan's court case if she tells anyone, and she complies.When Hassan is acquitted, however, Sana cannot keep the truth in much longer, and tearfully tells him everything. Hassan, in anger, chases Saad to the railway and tracks and chokes him to death, being taken back to jail soon after.

Sana's mother Nuzhat wishes to wed Sana off to Adarsh as soon as possible after this, without telling him or his family about Sana's rape. But Sana tells Adarsh's mother Arfa anyway, knowing that she will break their engagement the second she hears the news. However, Arfa, who is indebted to Nuzhat because she took Arfa's daughter Dua in and raised her as her own so that Arfa could get remarried and live a pleasant life, accepts Sana. She tells Sana that she has told Adarsh everything and that he accepts her as well.

After Sana and Adarsh's wedding, Sana brings the topic up, saying how grateful she is that Adarsh accepted her knowing everything that had happened to her. Adarsh however, is unaware of the circumstances, and flips out when Sana tells him everything. He is furious that his mother tricked him like this, and believes that Sana was not raped at all, but did everything of her own free will. He begins to treat Sana horribly, and restarts his relationship with Sasha, even going so far as to having sexual relations with her. When Sana finds out that she is pregnant, Adarsh denies any possibility that the child is his, and claims that Sana must have an abortion because he doesn't want to take care of her illegitimate child. Sana, not knowing what to after being accused of so many crimes, and still being in the aftershock of the death of her mother hanging of her brother, attempts to commit suicide by overdose of sleeping pills. However, Arfa and Adarsh find her just minutes after the pills take effect and take her to the hospital, and there is no harm done,

Adarsh tells his parents that he wishes to divorce Sana, and they respond by saying that it is not legal for a man to divorce his wife while she is a pregnant. Adarsh retaliates by saying that this doesn't apply to him as the child is not his, and his father is outraged at this accusation. He tells Adarsh to leave the house, and he does, but not before asking that his father ask Arfa what the truth is. Arfa tells him everything, and the father is devastated to hear that he could have had a daughter to take care of all these years.

Adarsh goes to Sasha and tells her that they can get married now that Sana has given him permission. She is furious at these words and demands why Adarsh didn't divorce Sana as planned, and he tells her that she is pregnant and therefore can't be divorced. Sasha, realizing that Adarsh slept with Sana after their wedding despite saying that he was in love with Sasha, kicks him out of her hotel room. He goes back home, and upstairs to his room despite his father's furious demand that he leave the house. Sana, thinking he has gotten re-married asks him whether he's happy now, and Adarsh flies into a fit of rage, beating Sana unconscious.

Aina is a 1977 Pakistani film

Aina is a 1977 Pakistani film directed by Nazr-ul-Islam. Singers are Nayyara Noor, Mehnaz and Alamgir. The film starred Shabnam and Nadeem in the lead roles and holds the distinction for being the longest running Pakistani film on record.

Plot: Aina is a love story of two hearts and two souls but from two different social classes, one being a daughter of a business tycoon i.e. Rita (Shabnam) and one being a realistic, self-confident and a little bit arrogant poor young man (Nadeem). Rita is a leisure girl whereas Nadeem works as a hotel receptionist and they both fall in love. The differences between Nadeem and Rita's father Seth (Rehan) arises right from the beginning, esp. when he (Rita's father) criticised Nadeem for his social status and earning capacity, saying his daughter's sari costs 7,500 rupees as compare to his (Nadeem) monthly salary of 750 rupees. But after a struggle by Rita and a threat to her parents that she would suicide if she would not be allowed to marry Nadeem, her father agreed. So both married but Nadeem knew that Seth was not really happy with this marriage. One day Rita's mother (Bahar) came to her daughter's house, located in a middle class, and offered Nadeem a job in Seth's friend's business firm, which he denied. Not only this, he also angried on Rita about the telephone (which was thought to be a very luxurious item esp. in those days) installed in his house by her. A few days later, Rita's mother purchased furniture for Nadeem's house (perhaps to hurt Nadeem's ego) and invited her guests to a dance party in Nadeem's house. When Nadeem came back home, he became very angry and he asked Rita to leave the house and stay in her father's house. Rita left, with tears, Nadeem's house. Next day, Nadeem got an appointment from a bigger company perhaps from a hotel in Murree, so he has to leave the city immediately. But before leaving the city he tried to meet Rita, but, at the entrance of her house, he met Seth. Seth misinform him that Rita does not want to see his face again and decided to get divorce from him, as she has realised that she has made such a big mistake in marrying a poor man like Nadeem. Shocked and dishearted Nadeem left the city.

On the other side, Rita was waiting for him in the hope that he would come back and take her back to his home. But her father deceived her too that he had visited Nadeem but he insulted him in front of his friends and said that he is going to divorce her. This shocked Rita to such an extent that she could not bear the pain of pregnancy. So they moved to a hospital in the same city where the Nadeem was gone for his new job. During his journey to Murree, a car driver incidentally injured Nadeem. Nadeem moved to the same hospital where Rita was admitted for child delivery. In the hospital's lobby, he found his wife unconscious on the hospital bed, during this Seth interrupted and said that he is going to give away the child to an orphanage, but Nadeem refused to do that and said that he will take care of child himself. The film has taken a very sad turn at that point esp. when Nadeem carrying the baby to his house and singing the sad version of the song Mujhe dil se na bhulana... and remembering those happy days with Rita. On the other side, Seth lied not only to Rita but to his wife (Bahar) also that the baby has died. This was a tremendeous shock for Rita and she somewhat lost her mental balance. After few years the baby is grown up to a teenage boy (Shahzeb), a very sensitive and very anxious about his mother. Whereas, Rita's mental instability grew day by day, so her mother asked Rita's father to let Rita visit her baby's grave which would perhaps help her. Next day all visited (Murree) and searched the graveyard, where they come across the real baby (Shahzeb), who was picking flowers there. As there was nothing to found there, they started leaving the place. During this Shahzeb immediately reached home and asked his father (Nadeem) about the features of his mother, Nadeem hand him over her photo. Shahzeb recognised his mother and ran towards the road where Rita and her parents come from and started singing the same song which he used to listen from his father Mujhe dil se na bhulana... Rita stopped the car and ran towards the place where the voice was coming from and finally she reached Nadeem's house. Amazed by the situation both asked about the divorce, as both were in misunderstanding, the truth revealed that it was Rita's father who had actually planned their separation (not legal divorce) and who had lied to her that her child is dead. Rita turned angriely and slapped her embarrassed father, who was listening this. Her mother said at this moment: 'You have not slapped your father, but you have actually slapped that mentality that believes in differences between poor and rich'. And then they lived happily ever after.

Lollywood Film Moosa Khan 2001

Moosa Khan is a 2001 film which was directed by Shaan. The film starred Saima, Afzal Khan and Shaan.

Synopsis: The storyline is based around Shaan and Saima. Moosa played by Shaan grows up in a cave due to his father being killed. His father was Maulvi who died in Moosa hands when a bunch terrorist came and attacked his Mosque. Saima comes along with her father who dies as well when some infidels attack and she is taken hostage by Shamoon (Shafqat Cheema) for her exterior. What will Moosa do about this?

Plot: The movie is set in a time warp in the colonial subcontinent Kashmirpur and its environs are seemingly inhabited by Muslims, Hindus and Christians. Beautiful white doves of symbolizing peace also fly around about in the foreground in idyllic slow motion while an audience is introduced to the local Mosque and its saintly Maulvi Mufti played by Abid Ali. The Maulvi completes his prayer and emerges from the distance as pigeons and doves flutter about in a mad frenzy.

Meanwhile we are shown that across the way there is a temple where instead of doves of peace, there is a python by large group of snarling, drooling old men in orange robes, with funky hairstyles who are cringing at the sound of the azaan from the nearby Maulvi. So enraged are they by this sound and the Maulvi who is responsible for it that they hatch an evil scheme in collusion with the local godless firangi gora's (white men - who worship only money) to bring about the end to the sound once and for all.

As the "infidels" try to gun down the lecturing Maulvi their guns suddenly malfunction by divine intervention and when the ghastly infidels decide to fire some heavy artillery and rocket launchers at the mosque (it appears divine intervention only disables rifles and pistols but not rocket launchers) the super-human Maulvi appears magically leaping in the way of the projectiles, thwarting any attempt at desecrating the mosque. Then, while the background "audience" turns from Peace mode to jihad mode, the Maulvi mumbles a few pious utterances and launches his "tasbee" (holy beads) into the air to see it transform in mid air into a holy Sword of Islam. He dramatically catches the falling blade and proceeds to hack to death the entire lot of goons who had dared to try to attack the mosque. As The Maulvi finally caves in as his blimpish child Moosa, "sorry Moosa" the maulvi says in slow motion to the death scene, his eyes burning with the fire of vengeance.

Moosa grows up in a cave somewhere, having turned his back on his religion due to the disillusionment that he felt when his father was murdered. He has instead taken to living alone in some distant caves with his horse Sheru as company. Moosa (Shaan) has turned into a cold hearted mercenary but all that is soon set to change with Saima's arrival.

She shows up, dressed to kill with her father. He clearly had his own reasons for bringing his daughter to this place but when the goons start making moves on her he turns defensive and starts throwing moralizing lectures for this he gets shot by one of the goons. Shamoon (Shafqat Cheema) sporting his usual bizarre "get up" with flowing pony tail and reptilian accessories becomes obsessed by Saima's voluptuousness, Shamoon imprisons Saima in the lair. However in keeping with the films utterly warped manner Saima chooses to stab herself to death rather than to compromise her "izzat" (honour) as any normal "honourable" woman would (should?) do. Shamoon has her stitched up in the nick of time, yet she remains merely a captive pet for her tormentor, waiting for the first opportunity to flee. Saima is rescued from Shamoon's clutches one night by Moosa and whisked away to freedom, but just when she is beginning to take a fancy to her rescuer it's revealed that all he intended to do was use her as part of a transaction or agreement. Saima is stunned when Moosa gives her over to another set of captors .Saima begs him not to do this, but he continues to walk away, stone faced and impassive. As Moosa is about to mount onto his horse and ride off into the distance, Saima comes up with a brainwave; she takes to covering her head with a scarf (in dramatic slow-motion) and starts reciting the words (with added echo effect) of the Quran in a last ditch effort to get through to the stubborn Moosa. When Saima reaches a crescendo with the retort of "Kya tum Moosa nahin ho" (Are you not Moosa?) her words finally seem to hit the right spot and suddenly Moosa assumes the role that his father the saintly Maulvi had always dreamed of.

Moosa forcefully bludgeons his way through the fully armed opposition and rescues again and makes away with Saima to the safety of the forest where they are joined by his childhood chum Georgie (Rembo). Love blossoms and Saima and Moosa get married and build their dream home away from the troubles of the world but Shamoon's henchmen are constantly searching every inch of the forest in order to recover Saima and destroy Moosa and it is a matter of time before they discover the mountainside home. Meanwhile Saima produces a child-thing and forces her husband to bury his weapons and to take to praying for solace.

One fateful day while the ghastly tot/child and father are away hunting, Shamoon's horrible henchmen show up. There follows the usual bloodbath and mayhem as sprog and dad return to begin their jihad. In one of the more hysterical scenes of the movie we have Moosa performing his prayers when a goon with a huge machine gun arrives firing shot after shot at Moosa, but these giant bullets float in Matrix-like slow motion towards our hero and each time by divine intervention they somehow fail to hit their target. In a moment of sublime ridiculousness Moosa in fact catches the last bullet in mid air and tosses it aside disdainfully before striding out, (angels in full battle cry by now) to purge the land of all evil.

Those parties interpret certain verses of the Quran and Hadith (Islamic religious texts) to call for a ban on music and pictures.

In England, a girl Mary/Mariam (played by actor-model Iman Ali) is a westernized girl in love with a guy name Dave. Her hypocritical father disapproves, despite the fact that he is living with a British woman to whom he is not married. He tells Mary that they are going to Pakistan for a trip and that once they return she can marry Dave. This, however is a trap. While touring FATA, he has her forcibly married to Sarmad, who is her cousin. Mary is then abandoned in FATA at her new household.

Meanwhile, Mansoor goes to music school in Chicago. There, he meets a girl called Janie and instantly falls in love with her. She quits alcohol for him, and they eventually get married. After 9/11, FBI officers capture him when someone overhears a drunk man accusing Mansoor of being a terrorist. Subsequently, he is tortured for a year in custody just because of his Islamic background.

Meanwhile, Mary manages to run away, but is caught by Sarmad in the process. She is kept under strict supervision and due to this incident, Sarmad eventually consummates their marriage by force. She doesn't lose hope, managing to sneak a letter to Dave under the guise of writing to her father. Mansoor and Sarmad's parents finally come to her rescue under the protection of the British Government, but Mary, driven by vengeance, then takes her father and cousin to court in Pakistan. There, a Maulana (Naseeruddin Shah) explains to the court how Islam is being butchered in the name of war and hatred, bringing the religion forward in a believable and peaceful manner.

Traumatized by all the suffering he has seen and caused, Sarmad withdraws from the case. He also realizes the damage that he was made to do in the name of religion. Mary is now free, but decides to return to the village where she was kept prisoner, so she can educate the girls there. Meanwhile, Mansoor is still in U.S. custody after a year of torment; the last torture session having inflicted permanent brain damage. After a failed rehab attempt, he is deported and reunited with his family in Pakistan where, thanks to the hope of his family, he begins to slowly recover.

Khuda Kay Liye was released on July 20, 2007.

Lollywood Urdu Movie "Jhoomer" Directed By Syed Noor in 2007

Jhoomer, is a Pakistani Urdu film directed by Syed Noor which was released across theaters in Pakistan on November 2, 2007. The film based on a true story, Saima and Moammar Rana perform leading roles in this film.

Plot: The story written by Syed Noor revolves around Gulaab Bibi (Saima), a village belle who falls in love with a dashing army officer Shahnawaz (Momey) posted in her village along the Pakistan-India border. Shahnawaz hails from a well-off wadera family that owns, among other things, an imposing haveli complete with a two-way staircase in the entrance hall that serves as a vantage point for theatrical entries and exits by different characters throughout the film.

In Shahnawaz’s family, both his brothers Ricky Mirza and Danial Khan and a heavy-duty, bedecked sister-in-law put up serious opposition to his marriage plans to Gulaab. Instead, they have their sights set on his brother’s glamorous sister-in-law (played by the late actress Aleena) as a much more suitable match for him.

Shahnawaz, however, foils their plans by bringing the newlywed Gulaab to the haveli, much to the ire of his family, before setting off for a romantic honeymoon. Trouble rears its ugly head when Gulaab is supposedly found to be unable to have children and his younger brother [Danial Khan] [The negative role has been performed Exceptionally well] puts pressure on Shahnawaz to marry Aleena for the sake of carrying on the lineage. Tragedy follows, when she is eventually kicked out of the house after being falsely blamed of having an affair. In a bid to commit suicide, a devastated Gulaab consequently finds herself on the wrong side of the Wagah Border. She is whisked off to jail after interrogation.

What follows in the second half of the film is the metamorphosis of Saima from a naïve village girl to a defiant, courageous, and larger-than-life heroine who braves the horrific circumstances of prison in order to eventually redeem herself in the eyes of Shahnawaz, who, in a twist ending, is the one suffering from infertility and not she.

Cast: Saima, Moammar Rana, Danial Khan, Aleena and Shafqat Cheema.

Pakistani Film Salakhain 2004 Synopsis, Plot and Cast

Salakhain is a Lollywood film which was released in 2004. Stars included Ahmed Butt, Zara Sheikh and Meera. Music was composed by M Arshad. Sajid Hassan and Saud were cast as villains with Shafi Muhammad as their boss.

Synopsis: Salakhain is an Urdu feature film set in the backdrop of Gawalmandi, Lahore. It is the story of a young man who is passionate about life and dreams of a bright and prosperous future. Little does he know what life has in store for him? He is destined for a future engulfed with hatred, anger and revenge.

Introducing 'Ahmad', Pakistan's most sought after model and winner of LUX Style Awards 2003 for Best Model, in the Lead role, Salakhain is devoid of Compassion and sympathy. Full of nonstop action, Salakhain is a thriller sure to make you sit upright in your chair.

Plot: Salakhain tells the story of an innocent, hardworking student called Faizan (Ahmed Butt) who comes from a lower middle class family and who is in love with an equally innocent and earnest looking young girl. Faizan is the good son and wants to live with to his fathers dream which is to make a business and improve the lifestyle of their family. Unfortunately the dreams are shattered while he was taking his exams as he is implicated in a crime a dispute with the booti mafia (people facilitating cheating during exams), this results to his fathers death and mother's mental health due to shock, one following the other in quick succession.

In jail he meets a man called Zaigham (Saud) and becomes friends with him who knows his enemies well and has his own issues to pick up with them. Zaigham gets Faizan out of lock-up. Faizan now wants revenge for his parents. The rest is as predictable as any action movie made anywhere in the world - a journey towards retribution, passing through the maze called politics and crime.

It has got good reviews from critics who say that the performance of the actors is "flawless"

Apparently, the theme looks promising because it is taken to represent how the world works around us - the innocent getting caught up in the web of crime and influence through no or little fault of their own. But much seems to have changed since this subject was first adopted. Take, for example, the case of student politics. It lost its allure long ago, when student unions were banned during Zia's Martial Law. Similarly, the era of staged police encounters on the directives of the highest political authorities also seems to be over, for the time being if not forever. Public anger over the criminalization of politics has either subsided into a sense of resignation or has been co-opted through the networks of power and patronage. The vicarious pleasure that the audience could feel at the demise of a powerful villain at the hands of an ordinary young man no longer rings a familiar chord with the society at large.

Cast: Zara Sheikh, Meera, Saud Ali, Ahmed Butt, Shafi Mohammad and Sajid Hasan.

Pakistani Urdu Film "Ramchand Pakistani" Synopsis, plot, cast and Snaps

Ramchand Pakistani is a Pakistani Urdu film that tells a true story about a boy who inadvertently crosses the border between Pakistan and India and the following ordeal that his family has to go through.

Synopsis: Nandita Das plays Champa, a Hindu woman who is left desolate when her young son and husband disappear one day from their village at the Pakistan-India border near Nagarparkar, in Tharparkar. Nandita Das is the only non-Pakistani actor in the large cast comprising well-known Pakistani TV and stage personalities including Rashid Farooqi, Noman Aijaz, Maria Wasti, Zhalay Sarhadi, Syed Fazal Ahmed, (who plays the title role) Farooq Pario, Shahood Alvi, Adarsh Ayaz, Salim Mairaj, Tipu, and Navaid Jabbar (no relation to the producer or director).

Ramchaal crossing of the Pakistan-India border during a period (June 2002) of extreme, war-like tension between the two countries by two members of a Pakistani Hindu family belonging to the 'untouchable' Dalit caste, and the extraordinary consequences of this unintended action upon the lives of a woman, a man, and their son.

The singular theme of the film is how a child from Pakistan aged eight years learns to cope with the trauma of forced separation from his mother while being held prisoner, along with his father in the jail of a country i.e. India, which is hostile to his own, while on the other side of the border, the wife-mother, devastated by their sudden disappearance builds a new chapter of her life, by her solitary struggle for sheer survival.

The film portrays a true picture of how the people living close to the border unknowingly cross border and how they are used by both the nations as pawns to negotiate and prove each others point.

Plot: This is a simple story, told very simply. Ramchand is a 8 year old Pakistani Hindu living near the border to India with his parents. He has a rather petulant anger, and on such occasion, crosses over the border inadvertently and is caught by Indian forces. His father sees him wander over and follows him, to be also captured. His mom realizes this the next day with the help of friends, but is powerless to do anything about it, other than spend her days waiting for them to return.

At first, the prisoner father-son duo find it tough to adjust, but they settle down eventually. The movie spans a period of 4 to 5 years before they are released. The strength of the movie is in the telling of the tale, aided by the power of the uniformly strong acting and delicate direction. With such an ominous premise, the fact that neither country is vilified is a huge relief, if slightly incredible.

Cast: Nandita Das as Champa, Syed Fazal Hussain as Younger Ramchand, Navaid Jabbar as Older Ramchand, Rashid Farooqui as Shankar, Maria Wasti as Kamla, Nouman Ijaz as Abdullah, Adnan Shah as Sharma, Adarsh Ayaz as Moti, Farooq Pario as Suresh, Shahood Alvi as Asif Hussain, Zhaley Sarhadi as Lakshmi, Atif Badar as Lalu, Saleem Mairaj as Vishesh, Saif-e-Hasan as Murad, Rao Saleem as Interrogator, Border Security Force, India, Karim Bux Baloch as Baloch, Master Yaqub as Baba Gul, Hassan Niazi as Deepak, Kazim Raza as Professor, Muhammad Rafiq as Bengali, Sajid Shah as Inspector, Border Security Force, India, Iqbal Motilani as Maulvi and Anis Chachar as Captain Saleem.

Lollywood urdu film Mein Ek Din Laut Kay Aaoon Ga 2007

Mein Ek Din Laut Kay Aaoon Ga is a Lollywood Urdu film starring Humayun Saeed, Nadeem, Nausheen Ali Sarder, Puja Kanwal and Javed Sheikh. The film is directed by Mohammad Javed Fazil.

The film was released on August 22, 2007 in the UK.

Plot: Zoheb (Ahmed Butt) runs his late father’s business with the help of Mr. Khan (Javed Sheikh). His mother, Mrs. Haroon (Saba Pervaiz), is busy preparing for her daughter’s wedding while also on the lookout for a suitable match for her son. Meanwhile, Zoheb chances to meet Sheeza (Pooja Kanwal) and a song or two later, falls madly in love with her and marries her without his mother’s consent. But, once she finds out, Saba's character asks her son to bring his wife home. While driving back home with his bride, Zoheb is pushed over a cliff by Sheeza.

Hence, the first twist — Sheeza is actually Mr. Khan’s daughter, who had suffered insult at the hands of Zoheb’s father when the latter refused to give him his share in the business. Sheeza married the son to avenge her father’s mistreatment, and the father-daughter duo then force Zoheb’s family out of the house and forcibly take possession of all the property.

But unknown to the Khans, Zoheb survives the fall at the cost of having his face mutilated. Enters his savior, plastic surgeon Dr Azim (Nadeem), who not only gives him a new face but a new name as well, Babar (Humayun Saeed). But Zoheb’s new identity also has a past and it is only when Sherry (Nausheen Sardar) enters the picture that he finds out about it. Sherry wants revenge over wrongs Babar had committed against her, and attempts to kill Zoheb, not realizing that the man with Babar's face is actually Zoheb. She plants a car bomb in Zoheb's car, and in a surprise twist Sheeza in a motorcycle comes to warn Zoheb. After jumping over a tractor trailer in the car (Sheeza uses very good driving skills to guide the motorcycle under the trailer), Zoheb knocks his car into another, causing it to flip and explode. The car he was in then also explodes, but not before Sheeza is able to alert him and save his life. Zoheb flirts with death on many additional occasions but ultimately is able to convince Sherry that he is in fact not Babar. After some more unexpected twists, Sherry falls in love with Babar and plans to help him avenge himself from the likes of Mr. Khan and Sheeza. First Zoheb kills Mr. Khan's henchman, in a surprising swimming pool scene in which the henchman is chased down and strangled by a snake that causes him to leap out of the pool in pain. Later, Zoheb plants a bomb in Mr. Khan's car, leading to Khan's demise. And finally, he exacts revenge on Sheeza, whose saving his life was not enough to save her own. Zoheb and Sherry are seen at the end reuniting with his family.
