I’m such a bum, really. I’m sitting here with the 'puter in front of the TV and the climax of the drama is going on right now.
Bubbli’s father just gave the mom and the brother a lecture about how they’ve neglected Bubbli and that’s why she was running away.
I’m actually sniffling…
cries
This is so beautiful!!!

Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
Okay, so this was a telefilm they showed last night (saturday night) on geo. Shabbir Jan, a really good actor (for those who dont know) was the one to make the drama. I think, that for a telefilm made by an actor (usually those dont go down too well), this was fantastic. Its probably one of the best telefilms I’ve seen, next to Daira.
Here’s why:
Typically, both cinema films and telefilms are made by people in the drama business. The problem almost always is that they try to make a small mini-drama and pass it off as a film. Telefilms should be made on film format, the difference being that they are shown on TV rather than on the cinema screen, and are usually thus more subject to censorship.
What was good about this telefilm was that it was focused on ONE theme. There weren’t 3 storylines running parallel connected by the characters. There was ONE theme , one storyline, and all the characters revolved around that. Time was taken to seriously focus on this little girl’s development into a woman.
They show bubbli no longer being interested in toys, and her day being spent in staring at herself in her mirror, in trying to become a woman by wearing more adultish designs in shalwaar kameez, trying to impress her friend. Also, her awareness of the men around her was becoming heightened, and the bazaar guy who tries to seduce her is a very accurate portrayal of what happens to MANY MANY young girls.
I think the drama really struck me, because once when I went to my aunt’s arts school in Karachi, I met a girl who was learning designing and silai. She was about my age at the time, and we were both like 13 or 14 I think. I had been well into puberty, having gotten my first period at 10, so I was quite sexually aware at the time. She was just beginning to be aware of this side of life.
So apparently, this girl was telling me of her boyfriend. I was naturally shocked, because the idea of a Pakistani having a boyfriend at a young age, right when she’s entering her puberty years, was somewhat strange. Khair, I asked her how she met him and if her parents knew. She told me that she skips school and goes out with him for lunch, and he takes her to a street resteraunt and buys her lunch. He also sometimes picks her up after school and drops her to her house, and her parents are never aware of it.
She also was talking about marrying him, regardless of what her parents would think, and she’s willing to run off with him if need be.
I told her to stop watching so many Indian dramas and read novels about the Holocaust and Spanish Inquisition instead. I could never understand how she could think the way she did, because I did not think like that.
Many years have passed of course, and now I’m 21 and in college, but I still remember that little girl. I worry for her. I dont even remember her name, otherwise, I’d ask my aunt to hunt her down and find out if she’s okay.
And the sad thing was that her “boyfriend” was like 21 at the time. A 21 year old dating a 14 year old. What else could be on that pervert’s mind?
After seeing the portrayal of the bazaar guy (who by the way did an excellent job in his acting!) and his perverted comments about Bubbli to his dirty-minded friends, I wonder if that little girl I met had run into the same kind of guy.
shudders I wish God had never made men to be like that. I only remember too well the old buddha who groped me in a bazaar in karachi when I was 11 or 12. I only remember too well all the perverts on the street who prey on little girls just beginning to realize their sexuality. The way they manipulate that change.
This drama was an excellent drama. It is such a realistic portrayal of life. Especially life in Pakistan.
I hope you guys got a chance to catch this drama, its one of the best things that Geo has showed yet.
Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
interesting would love to watch it...shabbir jan is such a talented actor, didn't know he could direct something worthwhile. What was it technically like, I mean the photography/editing etc.? Did it merit being called a "film"?
Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
technically most of these telefilms are edited and photographed like dramas.
They just don't have the budget to make the real thing. Nonetheless, if they can learn to make good telefilms in terms of the real meat - plot structure, acting, etc - then its a stepping stone to reviving the real film industry.
Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
Sounds pretty interesting. Stories based on such issues are so close to life but it's just sad when you can't sit and watch them with your parents. I don't think I would ever watch it infront of my dad. Oh well, that thing aside. It's true PCG. I have personally gone through somewhat similar incident when I was 10 or 11 and an year or two far from my puberty. Not the boyfriend crap but something else. Maybe that was why I started disliking men and their dirty brain. I tell you all those men walking on roads out there...around 90% of them are like full of $hit! No offense but they're like f'ing desperate pigs!
Oh and I missed the drama.
Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
I agree, only if people would open up to this kind of cinema. The plot has to be substantial, not the usual girl and boy kind of stuff. They have already done it with the music videos - look at Umer Anwar’s work for Jal and EP. Now they have to translate it to the big screen.
Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
can some1 please tell me the song which they played when bubbli's nikhatoo brother was playin poker with buddies, it was shahzad roy's I guess and sounded really energetic and good and wwent with a guys nature
please a kink or the name of the song would do
Thanx and I believe the ending was very good, with the father understandig the emotions behind it all
Re: Bubbli Ghar Se Kyun Baaghi
Sounds interesting PCG. I love it when I can actually relate to the story of the play/movie. I remember it happened to me when I watched Swades. When you can relate to what is on screen, it makes it worth your while. Too bad I missed it. And Shabbir Jan has the genes to direct - wow didn't know :)
