dumbasses who make garbage like Teray Pehlo Mein, Mehndi and various mutated forms need to stay FAR AWAY from film... these are the very retards who first defamed the genre of films and destroyed any hopes for serious filmmaking in Pakistan... I'm talking about the likes of Javed Fazil, etc... the dude sounds reasonable when you listen to him... but if you have the misfortune of watching his work, you just shake your head...
my problem is with the promotion of drama as a whole at the expense of film (serious film). I would really like to question the policymakers who came up with the brilliant idea of promoting PTV and its dramas as the highest form of art... bringing in the best of artists, writers, etc... and treating film as the redheaded stepchild and leaving it to uneducated morons and kothay walas... the idea doesn't look so smart now does it a few decades later now does it?
but I guess in a country where strategic thinking has been absent in areas as critical as defence, foreign policy, financial planning, etc, to expect some strategic thinking in area of art, film, music is like asking Shahid Afridi or Imran Nazir to use their nonexistent brains...
