Growing up in late 90’s and early 00’s cinema wasn’t an everyday
concept for me. So finally when a Pakistani movie ‘Khuda key liye’ released it
was a big thing for me to go the cinema and watch it. A slow and steady stream
of movies for the mainstream cinema in Pakistan started to release. However no other genre was being
explored in the revived new movies coming up while we continued to excel almost every genre in drama industry. Finally sitting in
2015 I can say that Pakistani cinema is ready to move out of it’s comfort zone
and has/is going to release movies out of the dark genre. Na Maloom Afrad can be a classic example of it.
Four Pakistani movies that I really am looking forward watch this year are
Karachi sey Lahore
Release Date: 31st July 2015
Lead Cast: Javed Sheikh, Rashid Naaz, Ayesha Omer, Eshita
Syed, Shehzad Sheikh and Yasir Hussain.
Why am I looking forward to watch this movie?
I absolutely love road trip movies. Karachi sey Lahore is
the first of its kind of movie from Pakistan which will cover a 36 hours
journey from Karachi to Lahore as title suggests. The movie also will cover the
different ethnicities of Pakistan i.e. Punjabi, Sindhi, Pushtoon and Balochi to
give the story a very cultural and local touch.
I really do hope the humor of the movie is not over done via
the actors.

Ho Mann Jahan
Release Date: Eid-ul-Adha
Lead Cast: Mahira Khan, Sheheryar Munawar and Adeel Hussain
Why am I looking forward to watch this movie?
The movie is about 3 friends belonging from different social
backgrounds but sharing the same passion for music. It is refreshing to see a
very upbeat and lively movie coming to theaters to attract younger set of
audience as well. Mahira Khan’s hip look in the movie defiantly will be a trend
setter when the movie will be released.

3 Bahdur
Release Date: 22nd May 2015
Lead Cast: Amna, Saadi and Kamil (The characters ;))
Why am I looking forward to watch this movie?
First and foremost this is going to be a Pakistani animated
movie and second the creative director of the movie is none other than our
Oscar winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy. The story revolves around 3
friends set in a fictional town ‘Roshan Basti’ who would save their community
from the evils of society.
The soundtrack of the movie in its trailer sounds good.
Let’s
see if this movie will be able to pull off in Pakistan or not.

Bin Roye
Release Date: 18th July 2015
Lead Cast: Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Armeena Rana Khan,
Zeba Bakhtiar, Javed Sheikh and Hamza Ali Abbasi.
Why am I looking forward to watch this movie?
Pakistan has truly excelled in dramas specifically in drama/romance
genre and now it is turn of the film industry to take over this genre as well.
The trailer of Bin Roye guarantees a story full of emotions and I am sure Farhat
Ishtiaq’s story would not disappoint us. I am also looking forward to see the
art direction of the movie as in trailer
it looks brilliant.
