Re: History as depicted in Showbiz

Nice point TLK. I think for accuracy we should look at documentaries on science and history subjects.. but as far as science fiction movies are concerned, people may have an idea at their back of mind about being their fiction.. whereas history dealing with human characters is more subject to exploitation just not for an agenda but for commercial purposes as well.

Re: History as depicted in Showbiz

Gaddar was not banned at first. people were just hmming 'Main nikla gaddi leke'. 'Ud ja kale kawan tere munh wich khand pawan', 'Musafir jane wale', when they suddenly knew that Sakko (Sakina) was offering prayer with manglasutra and sindoor. It was Musharraf's era when everything was allowed for media except criticism on Govt and that was also only in last two years.

Before this PTV always had a policy to show that at the time of partition, the only victims were Muslims.

Sunny paa was called incarnation of Sultan Rahi, after people watched his taqat ka muzahira in Gaddar.

How they shown partition related riots in DD dramas. In Pakistan, we used to have special plays on 23rd March and 14th August showing naik Muslaman and very bad Hindu / Sikhs killing them.

Re: History as depicted in Showbiz

Without watching the video, I must comment that medical science was another aspect that got ridiculed by our movies. Per desi movies, heart attacks were caused, not by high cholesterol or bad life style choices, but by unexpected sadness.

Re: History as depicted in Showbiz

Also there was a guy who paired against Juhi Chawla :wub: in Sultanat. He was also like angrez…

From Sultanat, I remember character of Yaqoot (played by Dharam ji) is also said to be not having as much importance in Razia Sultan’s life as depicted in the movie Razia Sultan.
