Something different from Lollywood cinema.
Re: Syed Noor's Upcoming film - Price Of Honour
This film and some of his other films are 2-3 years old but were never screened.
Now cinema owners don't want to screen local film because nobody wants to watch bad local products when there are glamorous and shiny Bolly films available.
Probably the only Pak film that people will look forward to is Shoman's Bol.
Re: Syed Noor's Upcoming film - Price Of Honour
definitely looks different...and i think i will watch it.
Re: Syed Noor's Upcoming film - Price Of Honour
This one has been in the making forever....was announced in 2003/2004 and we're yet to see anything except the same old trailer doing the rounds for the last couple of years now!
Moreover, Mukhtaran Mai, on whom this movie is purportedly based on, is super ancient news now...the movie just may have lost its relevance
Re: Syed Noor's Upcoming film - Price Of Honour
I'll watch it In Shaa Allah. I'm really really interested in the subject...
Re: Syed Noor’s Upcoming film - Price Of Honour

Re: Syed Noor’s Upcoming film - Price Of Honour

Re: Syed Noor's Upcoming film - Price Of Honour
Interestng that we'll watch a flop tareen Bollywood Movie without thinking 2wice abt it, but a good decent Pakistani film we have to analyze, criticize, ask 10/20 pple if it's worth thr time & thn think a 100 times before actually ever watching it! I actually saw ppl do all this when "Khuda Kay Liye" came out and & t/ thought process still continues!
Great Job Pakistanis!
Re: Syed Noor's Upcoming film - Price Of Honour
Syed Noor is such a huge yawn. The guy totally lost steam after showing some spark with his earlier films from the mid 90s, like Sargam which at least had some interesting story lines to offer, even if the production standards were questionable. I don't expect a complete turnaround with one film and certainly not one which has been in the making for the last 6 years now.

Price of Honour to be released by the end of April
LAHORE: Price of Honour, the much-awaited film by Syed Noor aims to promote parallel cinema in Pakistan. It is in the final phases of post-production and is said to hit cinemas by the end of April.
The film is a reflective look at honour killings in Pakistan and has mostly been shot in Rahim Yar Khan, the region where most honour killings are reported. The actors playing the lead roles in the film were chosen from a talent hunt show that ran on a private television channel and was judged by Noor himself. During the course of the television screening, Noor announced that he would give the winners a chance to work in his film and declared its tentative release in July 2010. But due to unforeseen circumstances, the film’s release delayed.
It is being termed as the first film in parallel cinema in Pakistan. While talking to The Express Tribune Syed Noor said, “this movie will be released worldwide. I am planning to release it in Europe, England and the USA. First this film will be released internationally and then locally.”
Noor said that though the film industry was undergoing a crucial period, some people including him were still determined to work for its revival. Noor said that the film would be the first of its kind in Pakistan and would venture into the bounds of parallel cinema. He has been working with complete vigour to revive the film industry. However while some people in the film circles believe that the movie is inspired from the struggle and life of Mukhtara Mai, Noor, strictly denies it. “This film is not about Mukhtara Mai. This is about honour killing and has nothing to do with Mukhtara Mai directly in any way,” he said.
Atif Naveed, Rakshi and Danyal are the three actors chosen from the talent hunt show and will be making their debut in the upcoming film.
Rakshi, who plays the lead female role in the film, has especially come from Dubai to work in it. The actor reveals that she is quite optimistic about the movie and hopes it attracts the audiences. She said that she was delighted to be part of this film.
Naveed, who plays the main character in the upcoming film, said that he came to Lollywood with very ambitious aspirations and has tried very hard to prove his talent. “We are looking forward to the film’s release and hope it will do well,” said Naveed.
Another major character of the film is played by actor Danyal. “There are hundreds and hundreds of youngsters who want to make their career in the film industry. We all feel sorry about the deteriorating condition of cinema but we have to play our role to improve this industry,” he said.
The film will reportedly be released in most theatres in major cities of Pakistan. Usually, Pakistani films are released in selective cinemas such as the DHA Cinema in Lahore, Cine Star and Cine Gold and a few other cinemas across the country. The last Pakistani film that successfully ran in theatres was Khuda Ke Liye by Shoaib Mansoor and, since then, the Pakistani audience has eagerly been waiting for another blockbuster to hit the screens.
