Re: Recommend Pakistani Classic movies
I have read that the first Pakistani colour film was the popular 1964 East Pakistan production Sangam by director Zahir Raihaan who was killed in 71 for treason.
And apparently, Ik Dil Do Deewanay, was the first colour film in West Pak.
So how come, the popular belief is that Naila was the first colour film in Pak ?
Gul Bakauli 1961 was first B/W film with colour songs.
Another interesting tidbit is that Jago Hua Savera (1959) was the first Dhaka based Urdu film and won a gold medal in the Moscow Film Festival even though it was a dead flop in Pakistan.
Screenplay and songs by Faiz Ahmad Faiz and directed by Lahore based director A.J. Kaardaar and assisted by the aforementioned Zahir Raihaan.
Would like to see such movies. ![]()
