Love humaima's malik's whole look. WOOZAA. Mawra's look is very flirty and awesome(this isn't a very great angle though). Sanam Baloch looks like she is wearing her own bridal outfit. WTH is that girl ayeza wearing?? weirrd and what's going on with her brows?
that girl from pyare afzal is wearing a weird jacket and guy with him (shehryar?) looks like he is wearing an undershirt. The other girl with him is a friend's slightly deranged cousin.
Shamoon's wife is wearing very stripper-esque makeup.
Suneeta Marshall has dropped all that post pregnancy weight. looks good though a little heavy on the foundation
When did Ayesha omar get this thin??!?!?? she was chubby in school man
Firstly Shaan was a bad host.a host has to be neutral he was so sour faced it was pathetic
Moody miserable and up his own backside
He did have a point about artists going abroad.etc but he isn't as.righteous as he seems. And he was embarrassing himself whenever he opened to his mouth to moan about something.bad hosting.
Sarwat and.fahad- not funny.
Mathira- lol.
Urwa/?mawra
Sohai- what the hell happened to these girls.undress for success?
Shaan really disappointed. I think both Ali and Shaan are right in their views and support it wisely however Shaan really degraded himself that night by that very unwanted comment he made targeting at Ali. It was really low and something I'd never expect from Shaan.
Why was Shaan the host in the first place? He was not neutral and was self-promoting all the way through the night. His behaviour towards Ali Zafar reeked of insecurity and reminded me of his attack on Shoaib Mansoor in LSAs 2008.
Hosting was stiff except for Fahad Mustafa and Hamza A Abbassi.
Mathira needs to cover up and take dance lessons. I dont get the hype, she's an average host who gets the chance to perform at every award function?
Saima and Babra Sharif should not be doing performances at their age. Noor did better.o
The Awards given out were fair, the public was always going to favor 'Waar' whilst critics were going with 'Zinda Bhaag'.
I saw one part of the show on dramasonline and really enjoyed it. Agrees that Sarwat wasn't the best choice for host but overall it was a great effort. Loved the fact that dances were on Pakistani songs. Yeayy. I noticed humayun Saeed looked sour( resting ***** face?) but smiled when urwa started dancing
Haven't seen the shaan bit yet but looking forward to this drama : p
I like that Vasay Chaudhry paid tribute to syed noor. I don't think he has gotten enough credit for his contribution to Pakistani cinema. He made movies in a very tough environment when there were no proper distribution channels and technology was deteriorating. I remember enjoying jeeva though don't remember the story. Ppl love his punjabi movie choorian though I haven't seen it. I wonder how the guy has been doing financially with the industry dead for more than a decade
^ I liked that part too.Shaan should have been the one praising Syed Noor after all he played the lead roles in all his gujjar movies but he was too busy criticizing others.A lame attempt to prove himself more patriotic than others.
I think around 10 movies were released in pakistan last year. Yaar think about how this dead industry has impacted the livelihood of thousands of people, all the way from the tea boys, to the electricians, technicians, extras, musicians. People only think about the actors and directors but it's the ones at the bottom of hte ladder that have had the hardest hit. I was listening to NPR and they ran a story about a pakistani businessman who has made an effort to revive pakistani musicians and provide them with a platform to express their talent. Apparantly these men have been forced to give up their ancestral profession and take up odd jobs. I hope this effort by ARY to distribute pakistani movies last year and now to hodl these awards will encourage directors to make more content.
I also think it's high time that movies and tv shows be made in local languages. Growing up, i used to watch dramas and shows on PTV in punjabi as the afternoon slots were dedicated to regional programs. When i used to spend my summer vacation in murree, they'd play similar shows in some other language. Pata nahi un becharay artists ka kia hooa? none of the private channels air anything in regional languages though I hear a pashtu drama is coming out soon. anyways, great effort by ARY and hope other channels hop on board too instead of buying distribution rights to bolly flicks
