Maybe this weekend. now if only the admins would CREATE A NEW CATEGORY FOR LOLLYWOOD! then I could create one thread at a time for each movie and add that information, but i think for now this thread will do.

Re: Pakistani Films - 2012

NONE! can you imagine? it’s pretty sad how difficult things are for Pakistani film makers. Marketing and releasing a movie is fairly expensive and there aren’t many investors willing to risk their money on a movie. All of these movies are post production. Rafina’s script was completed in 2005… hope things pick up
