Re: Manto The Film

Goes without saying Saba Qamar will steal the show as Noor Jahan. Only she could have played such an epic role!

Re: Manto The Film

no classy makeup for the ladies??????

Re: Manto The Film

Hi Saba. Nice to see that you visit the forum as well. Aff course you will steal the whole show. Baaki kay top stars tu tael baichnay kay liay hain iss movie mein. massive eye roll.

Re: Manto The Film

^ LOL kyun ghalat ilzaam laga diya ? I'm not Saba Qamar yaar. I'm a fan of her work. Manto mein baaki "top stars" hain unka ziada tar role cameo type hai i koi epic role kissi kay pass nahi hai jaisa saba ko mila hai it is very challenging to play malika e tarranum. Ye kehney mein koi muzahika nahi hai ke Sarmad nay sab actresses mein sirf saba ko is role ke liye chunna kyunke Saba is the only actress with a diverse range.

Re: Manto The Film

Hopefully Ms Saba Qamar won't be wearing those ugly acrylic nails. I get so amused every time she has them on even when playing characters like digest writer

Re: Manto The Film

The movie seems like its going to be mind blowing. I would love to go watch it in the cinema!!
Sarmad doesn't hold back and Manto was dark dark dark!!!
My stomach flips with excitement and thora sa darr.

Re: Manto The Film

I am sorry but Saba Qamar can only play Saba Qamar i.e. her real personality which is arrogant and rude. Girlfriend acts like she is god's gift to mankind. Jahilon ki tarah baat karti hai aur nakhray shehzaadiyon walay hain.

I can bet you a bottom dollar that she is going to play Noor Jahan the same why she played roles in Digest Writer, Bunty ILY, Maat etc etc.

Re: Manto The Film

I’ve read almost all his work. honestly, I wasn’t impressed by his short stories at all. It’s his sketches(ganjay farishtey) of famous actors which is his best work and a must read. he didn’t mince any words and many of his friends turned foe as he didn’t spare anyone. it gives a real insight in the film world of that time. here’s a link incase anyone is interested.

Re: Manto The Film

No, that's not true though it seems you know her personally :)) . I can only comment on her acting. The roles she played in Dastaan and Thakkan were diametrically opposite to her roles in BILU or Maat. In Dastaan she was not even the main lead but stole the show in every scene she appeared. She moulded her mannerism , way of walking , talking everything to bring the character to life. When Saba acts it doesn't seem like acting. Thats the main difference that sets apart a great artist from others.

Re: Manto The Film

Like i said...hi Saba, how are you? ;)

Re: Manto The Film

Anyhow, returning to Manto, I'm looking forward to the movie, the trailer looks intriguing.

Re: Manto The Film

triple like! agree with you a 100% saba qamar is insufferable for all the reasons you've mentioned. She has a major god complex and thinks she's better than everyone.

I am so sick of her "I am a sayeed (aka i am better than you), hence my very strict family (who is better than yours) wouldn't let me join the industry( because i am better than all the industry girls)" spiel. Someone needs to give her a reality check already. She is crass, comes across as jaahil, and is nothing to rave about.

unfortunately all the shakeelaz, rukhsaanaz on facebook are usually wagging their tongues around her and making her even worse than she already is
