Pakistan's film industry is in collapse!

@samb

so the solution to the current malaise is to remake “classics” that featured 24 songs and a 45 year old actor whose character is still trying to finish high school?

if this is what the revival of the filam industry means, I would rather that it stay dead.

That’s quite a naive view you got there…

1. Cut the songs out
2. Choose actors in terms of suitability..fresh faces if possible

You are referring to hit movies not classics. There are some incredible movies in 40’s, 50’s and early 60’s that have been totally ignored. Recently I took to watching these films and was impressed with their sophisticated storylines e.g. one film was about an old lady narrating her grand-daughter’s misfortunes in life when she made friends with those people belonging to high society where drugs, alcohol shameful acts were in vogue…for a remake you simply need to make such a movie relevant to today’s times and situations.

Interestingly Sabiha Sumar of ‘Khamosh Pani’ fame is making a film titled ‘Rafina’ about a lower class girl trying to make it as a fashion model in an english-speaking world of upper class ego-driven people. Finally, someone with sense!
