Re: NEW DRAMA: Halaat
Suhaib, I respect your feelings for this Javed Fazil dude. But dramas can never be “hits” or flops" - films, however are, but these days the usefulness of these terms is in doubt even for them.
I watched his Samina Peerzada/Nadeem/Salma Agha starrer…the name was Lazawaal or something along those lines. I was not impressed. More recently, he directed this film called Dil To Pagal Hai, though the producers decided to dump him towards the end of the film’s shooting for some other director. From whatever I saw of that film, anyone even remotely associated with that sort of trash needs to be buried alive!! Agreed though, some of the music was pretty good, the film was really, really bad.
Syed Noor movies look like Cannes material infront of Bulandi, Lazawaal, Dil To Pagal hai and their likes. This director lacks any sort of finesse, I thought his “hit” drama serials were rather crude and too filmi for my taste! It’s another case that he himself thinks of himself as some intellectual…oh well…I could go on and on…
