Shoaib is not only known for his incredible filmography but also for his top notch sound tracks, be it Khuda Key Liye or Bol Shoaib simply blows everyone’s mind with his music so naturally the expectations from Verna’s music are high.

The album consists of six sound tracks:

  • Ashko
  • Power Di Game
  • Khushi Ki Baat
  • Sambhal Sambhal
  • Zinda
  • Lafzon Mein Kharabi Thi

Shoaib is the wordsmith behind all these tracks with Zinda being the exception which is written, composed and sung by Soch band.

Verna is releasing on 17th November. The film stars Mahira Khan and Haroon Shahid in lead roles while Zarrar plays the antagonist. Verna marks the comeback of acclaimed director Shoaib Mansoor who has previously given us Khuda Ke Liye and Bol. The film addresses the issue of women oppression. Mahira is playing a rape survivor according to earlier reports while Haroon will play her husband. The film will also show feudalism and corrupt practice of politics in Pakistan. The trailer of Verna is finally here and it looks very dark a lot like Mansoor’s previous movies. Have a look:

How did you find the trailer of Verna? Are you looking forward to it? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!

Verna Is Going To Be Darker!

Shoaib Mansoor’s last two films were dark and were blockbusters too. Now he is coming back with Verna starring Mahira Khan, Haroon Shahid and Zarrar Khan. The film is based on the life of a rape survivor. But new insights have come into light.

Verna Is Going To Be Darker!

Instep reported that Mahira took a lot of time in saying yes to the film and first runner up for the role was Kubra Khan. But finally Mahira Khan signed the film. This movie according to Instep is the boldest and darkest movie by Shoaib Mansoor till date. Mahira plays the role of a school teacher who gets raped by a politician’s son which leads her to depression and causes issues in her marital life. The incident is followed by an intense courtroom drama which will be first of its kind in the history of Pakistani cinema. Rasheed Naz who played the role of Maulana in Shoaib’s Khuda ke Liye will play the role of lawyer. This role was previously offered to Manzar Sehbai who couldn’t do it due to his prior commitments. The film is shot in Islamabad and is ready to be released but no dates have been announced yet. We are totally looking forward to this one!

Verna is the upcoming movie starring Mahira Khan, Haroon Shahid and Zarrar Khan in lead roles. This is the comeback movie of ace-director Shoaib Mansoor after his previous hit Bol. The film is based on the issue o rape and social stigma and pressures attached to it. The cast has been promoting the film in full swing for a few days now. But the bad news is Verna has been banned by the censor board.

According to CFBC, Islamabad the film has shown raw abuse and is indecent to be shown to the masses. According to Hum Films, the director Shoaib Mansoor has gone into an appeal for the urgent review of his film. The film will now be reviewed by a full-board and they will decide the fate of Verna.

Meanwhile, the lead actor Haroon Shahid has posted a unique reaction on his twitter:

Verna a take on another social stigma!

The best in the industry Shoaib Mansoor is coming back with another movie and we all are looking forward to it. The movie stars none other than Mahira Khan in the lead with some new faces.

Verna a take on another social stigma!

News is Verna will showcase the story of a rape survivor. Shoaib sahab is again challenging a stigma of the society. His previous superhits Khuda ke liye and Bol also touched a cord with the audience.Plus the movie has some new faces too. Previously we found stars like Fawad and Mahira through his films. Even Humaima got the star status through Bol. Let’s see if the film turns out to be another superhit and do we get some more stars or not. We wish Verna helps in educating the society on this sensitive topic.

Verna – Film Review

Writer & Director – Shoaib Mansoor
Produced by: SHOWMAN Productions
Starring: Mahira Khan, Haroon Shahid, Zarrar Khan, Naimal Khawar, Rasheed Naz, Salman Shaukat, Shaid Mir, Shehzad Mir & Others.

Verna was promoted as a film with a message and it was also quite apparent from the promotions that Mahira Khan and Shoaib Mansoor were the USP of this film. Shoaib Mansoor hasn’t only written, directed and produced this film but he has even written the lyrics for all the songs in the film. Anyone who has seen the trailers of the film must be well aware of the main plot. The question is does the film have enough surprises in store and is it well executed or not? While Verna succeeds in showing the mentality of many of the politicians who are at the helm of affairs in our country faultlessly, it fails to do justice to the other track which covers a victim’s story .  Many of the dialogues in the film have done-to-death written all over them, the kind of things we read and hear about all the time. There are a few hard hitting dialogues in the film but there are so many others which fall completely flat because you hear the characters say those things but you don’t actually feel them.

The trials and tribulations of Sara (Mahira Khan) aren’t translated on screen in such a way that you truly feel for her. Although Sara’s character is the best thing about the film but there were times when I had a really difficult time connecting to her character. Her strength was admirable but some of her decisions and actions did not go well with the otherwise serious and realistic theme of the film. The introduction to the characters is simplistic and the relationship between Sara and Aami (Haroon Shahid) is probably the worst part of the film. Aami’s character is almost unbearable, his only role in the story is to give people the message that children should be given polio drops. There are times when his scenes are laughable. There is absolutely no chemistry between Haroon Shahid and Mahira Khan perhaps because of the fact that their relationship doesn’t have a lot to offer. The “love” that exists between them doesn’t really come alive on screen which is why it is difficult to feel for them when they are going through hell.

Verna - Film Review

Verna’s plot is interesting but the execution is poor. While Mahira Khan performed well and did the best she could to do justice to her character, there were some scenarios so weak that even her acting did not appear to be effortless. Haroon Shahid and Aami both are the worst thing about this film. Aami’s character is poorly etched-out, he is a disabled man both physically and mentally. I am wondering what Shoaib Mansoor was thinking, did he think that a line of weak characters will make his heroine look even more powerful? This film has some of the weakest supporting characters including the parents from both sides. Zarrar Khan performed brilliantly in the film but his character too didn’t have a lot to offer. There were times when it seemed like Sara was the only wise person around!! Naimal Khawar also did complete justice to her character. Adding a few more strong and intelligent supporting characters would have helped make the film more interesting. Verna reminded me of dramas like Chup Raho and Sangat. This is the first time I watched a film directed by Shoaib Mansoor and the lack of creativity stood out like a sore thumb. He failed to establish a solid relationship between the lead characters which was the film’s biggest drawback. All the songs in the film are meaningful but they are not melodious enough. Even the “happy songs” have not been shot in a creative manner. The director hasn’t used a lot of locations which is why the film has a dull feel overall. Apart from a fierce heroine, this film also needed a likeable hero and more logical ending.

Overall, Verna is neither thoroughly entertaining nor as disturbing as it should have been but at the same time it isn’t as poorly executed as Mehrunissa V Lub U. The script lacks depth as well as clarity. It would have been so much better if Shoaib Mansoor focused only on politics and did not drag women’s rights into the discussion since some of the scenarios are just plain ridiculous!

How many of you watched the film? Do share your thoughts about it.

PS. The movie deserves 2.5 rating but since there is no option of .5, I gave it 3!

Veet Miss Super Model – Liberalism or Unnecessary Imposition?

0

Well I got a chance to see the first episode of Veet Miss Super Model while surfing on YouTube & I’m speechless ever since. I guess there’s nothing much to say about it because it is pretty evident & clearly visible by what the contestants in the show are showing but I really would like to know what are the reviews of others about this particular show.

One thing that left me pondering through out the auditions was about the values that the parents of these young ladies have instilled in them. Didn’t they teach them anything about how modestly even a moderate Muslim girl should dress up or what is right & wrong. All the girls are within the age group of 17-24 & look at how boldly they are presenting themselves & how did they muster up so much of a courage to go out in the world choosing such indecent attires. Another astonishing factor was the enormous number of the girls who came in for auditions & how easily Tapu Zaveri was looking at them from top to bottom. The way they walked on the ramp which was full of male audience was extremely sad.

I really fail to understand the need & importance of shows like these where they are encouraging younger generation to forget exactly what Islam teaches us. I know many would not agree but I believe dressing up is also one of the MAJOR aspects of Islam which should & can not go unnoticed. Another show that has caught my attention is the dance show ‘NACHLAY’ where girls are performing as well. I really detest when the judges tell them ‘MASHA ALLAH, you’re doing a wonderful job’ & even in the Super Model Show everyone goes like ‘INSHA ALLAH I will improve’, ‘INSHA ALLAH I will win’. I am sorry to say but it sounds exactly how it would when someone outside the vicinity of our culture uses this word.

Excuse me for saying this but all the girls who came were not even able to talk properly but the way they projected themselves was totally contradictory to their speaking skills which showed they had nothing attractive in them but just some outer façade which was in utter need of make over. With all due respect I would present my opinion that it’s a high time people should understand the importance of women & understand that women are not some objects worthy of use in order to sell their products & women on their own should understand that they have more towards them than just a pair of fake eye lashes & unrecognisable photos of their own.

I pray for the Hidayah of all the ladies who at one point of time will have families of their own. Ameen.

Zahra Mirza.
