Horror is one genre Pakistanis have not done well in but Bandish was one drama that caused a stir when it came out. The mix of horror, thrill and black magic glued the audience to the screens and people were in love with Abis Raza directorial. Hira Mani, Zubab Rana and Marina Khan gave exceptional performances in the drama and it is one of the best projects made in Pakistan for the horror genre.

So, when the second season of Bandish was announced, people have been on their toes and they have been waiting for the details to be out. Well, Abis Raza is once again in the director’s chair while we have Affan Waheed, Sania Saeed, Amna Ilyas and Areej Mohyuddin all set to scare us this time around with Bandish 2.

The teaser of Bandish 2 is out and it is giving all sorts of chills to the viewers. The dark, subtlety of thrill is already evident in the drama and looks like Bandish fans are in for a ride.

Here is the teaser for Bandish 2:

Here is how the audience is reacting to the teaser:

The super talented cast of drama serial Bandish 2 has recently appeared in Good Morning Pakistan where they reveal details about the drama serial Bandish 2. Well, Bandish 2 is the sequel of an already aired horror drama Bandish which starred Hira Mani, Zubab Rana and Sania Saeed. Abis Raza directed the show. Bandish 2 is also directed by Abis Raza under the banner of Big Bang Productions. The cast includes Affan Waheed, Sania Saeed, Amna Ilyas and Areej Mohyuddin. The drama airs on ARY. The actors have shared horror incidents which happened with them on the set.

Affan Waheed talked about an accident which he faced on the set of Bandish 2. Talking about it Affan said, “I didn’t face anything this much scary on the set because I was throughout sick in the drama, I was seriously sick, but let me tell about my accident, they are talking about the shelf and the same shelf fell on me because maybe they have put a lot of heavy objects on it, but I admit that it wasn’t a supernatural incident”. Have a look at the video link:

Areej said that the supernatural activity happened on the very first day with her and Shuja. Shuja then told the whole incident, he said, “First day, when we both came on the set we faced a supernatural incident like we had a shelf attached with the wall, there was a pot with flowers and a few books over the shelf, me and Areej were just watching the shelf when the pot fell down on its own, the books also fell down, obviously, if we are doing the drama on supernatural existences so they will naturally shoe their existence to us”, Areej also said that she was super scary while doing shooting of her death scene in the drama and it gave her immense pressure while being on the set of horror drama. Have a look at the video link:

An uproar has been happening for a few days now when Verna was banned by the censor board. People showed discontent over this decision and celebrities too came out to talk about this ban. The good news is that Verna will finally release all over Pakistan uncut since the censor board has passed the film after the final viewing.

Verna has released today and has finally come out of the pressure, the director was getting to do some major cuts in the movie. The lead actress Mahira Khan shared a message on Twitter about the power of art:

Are you guys watching Verna? Share in comments!

The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) has proposed a ban on video recording in five major parks in Lahore.

Punjab Government has decided To take help from private security companies for the security of 5 big parks in Punjab. Armed Security Guards will be patrolling in all big parks of Punjab.

According to sources, the Punjab government has decided to ban entry without family in all major parks. Students in school and college uniforms will not be allowed in the parks. Security guards of the parks will be trained in the style of dolphin force.

Sources said that a new security plan will be formulated for other parks including Greater Iqbal Park, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Bagh-e-Jinnah, and Jallu Park. Adviser to Punjab Chief Minister Asif Mehmood has been given a special task. The Punjab government has taken steps to avoid any incident like Iqbal Park.

PHA has been Instructed to install new cameras in all Parks of Punjab and all old faulty cameras are to be repaired within a month to ensure the security of females in the parks.

Na Maloom Afraad 2 released this Eid and in cinemas for over a month now. The film has proven to be a huge success in financial terms as well as was loved by a large chunk of the audience. The film, however, was banned in Punjab after running for so long and the reason given was “vulgar scenes” in the movie. The ban was challenged as it should have been and now the censor board in Punjab has reviewed the movie and consequently, the ban has been lifted after prevailing just for one day. This is the notice issued by the government:

So Na Maloom Afraad 2 is back in cinemas!

The wait is over, the much awaited film Maalik which was banned by the Sindh High Court is now free from the ban. SHC has lifted the ban on Maalik movie by Ashir Azeem which was released on April 8th 2016. It was the Federal Information Ministry that placed the ban.

The persistence shown by the director of the film Asheer Azeem is remarkable . He challenge the decision of federal Government in court and is reaping fruits today.
the major reason being told for the by the federal government is that an extremist Afghan character who was commemorated as a national hero in the movie.

Sajjad Ali Shah the SHC justice , along with another judge lifted the ban after listening to the arguments given by the director of the film. Therefore now Azher Azeem will be able to release the film nationwide.

According ot the sources, Azeem is very happy and the screening will soon take place once distributors of the film meet the director.

After the Uri attacks on Oct 19, 2011 a ban was imposed on Indian Dramas from airing on Pakistani TV channels. It wasn’t well received by people who were addicted to dramas like “Tulsi” and “Parvati” but they soon got over it when they gave our local series a chance and found them out to be much better than the Indian. One of the major reasons our drama industry has flourished so much in the last decade is because of this.

All good things come to an end, and so has this ban.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has now lifted this ban declaring it null and void as the Federal government had no objections to the Indian content being shown in the country.

A petition to overturn PEMRA’s decision was held by M/s Leo Communications which is the parent company for Filmazia. They claimed that the government was indulging in “selective patriotism” due to Bollywood films allowed in cinemas but not on television.

According to Chief Justice Mansoor Ali Shah,

The world has become a global village

Shoaib Mansoor’s Verna has been talk of the town ever since it’s filming started and it’s in the headlines again but not for the reasons we’d like it to be for, the film was banned by The Censor Board a couple of days ago almost five days before it was set to release on November the 17th.

The fans are outraged and so are women’s rights groups including Pakistan Nari Tehreek which is a network of over one hundred grass roots women organisations, hence the organisation filed a petition against the ban.

The petition reads,

“The incident in D I Khan of stripping a woman naked and frequent incidents of rape are alarming, and it is appalling to see such decisions being made regarding a film which addresses the ill of our society and the gaps in the system,”

It further said,

“It is known to us that the Lahore and Karachi Censor Boards have passed it but still await the final decision from Islamabad. The full Film Censor Board is due to revisit and review the film and we hope the board members will realise the importance of Shoaib Mansoor’s work and the awareness he has created regarding the heinous crimes against women.”

Moreover the petition adds,

“Verna is also pro-democracy and will take the society forward. As far as we are concerned, the film belongs to the women of Pakistan and it needs to be shown to all, inside and outside Pakistan.”

The petition was signed by representatives of the core members of Nari Tehreek including Mukhtaran Mai, Maliha Husain, Bushra Khaliq, Anbreen Ajaib, Aqeela Naz, Shad Begum, Gulalai Ismail, Aasia Mughal, Sidra Humayun, Shazia George, Irum Fatima, Sana Malik.

This isn’t the first time The Censor Board in Islamabad is being criticised for banning a feature film, it has quite a reputation for that.

After a ban of nearly two weeks, the federal government has reverted its decision and allowed screening of new indian films in local cinemas. While the matter is still subdues in court, commerce ministry has issued Non Objection Certificate (NOC) to four indian films namely ‘Hassi To Phassi’, ‘Ghunday’, ‘Highway’ and ‘Total Sayapa’ which has paved the way for release of these four films.

The ban on Indian films has severely affected the cinema owners who were running shows with empty halls. Cinema owners and film distributors have welcomed the decision by federal government.

In a rather startling move, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Wednesday submitted a first of its kind resolution in the Punjab Assembly calling for a ban on famous Japanese anime series Doraemon.

PTI legislator Malik Taimoor Masood urged Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) to impose a ban on Doraemon or limit its airtime as it contains explicit content which has a bad impact on children.

The legislator argued that 24-hour cartoon channels are adversely affecting the educational and physical growth of children. The resolution also claims the language used in cartoons run on channels is damaging societal norms. The resolution will be discussed in the next PA session.

Doraemon is a Japanese manga series and is dubbed in Hindi for viewers in Pakistan and India. The anime series revolves around a robotic cat named Doraemon and a young boy Nobita. It is aired on various cartoon channels.

Here’s how people reacted to the news:

The move comes after Ashish Chaturvedi, the whistleblower of India’s biggest education scam, voiced concerns against two of the world’s most famous Japanese cartoon characters – Doraemon and Shin Chan. Chatuvardi feels the adverse psychological impacts of the two Hindi and English dubbed ‘violent’ cartoons are grappling a whole generation of kids across India and the world, according to the Times of India.

Chaturvedi is seeking a ban on the telecast of the two Japanese cartoons as he claims several medial reports highlight mental abuse and other serious adverse impact of these cartoons on kids.

Further, in 2014, Chinese newspapers cautioned their countrymen against Doraemon saying, Beware of this “blue fatty” — the Japanese are exporting their values through him. According to The New York Times, three major newspapers in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, fired accusations against Doraemon for its “political overtones” and being a tool of Japan’s “cultural invasion.”

Japan’s former foreign minister, Masahiko Komura, appointed Doraemon an “anime ambassador” in 2008 in the hope that the character would deepen the world’s understanding of the country.

Produced by Sadia Jabbar, written by Saad Azhar, film Balu Mahi’s first official poster has just come out. The film starring Ainy Jaffri and Osman Khalid Butt will also mark the debut of super model Sadaf Kanwal.

Osman and Ainy, sharing the screen for the very first time look charismatic on the poster. According to Express Tribune, the poster looks a lot more the the poster of film Bjirao Mastani, while we think the title resembles too.”Balu” in place of “Bajirao” and “Mahi” instead of “Mastani”.

As already known that Ainy Jaffri and Osman Khalid Butt are wokring in a film together Balu Mahi. The upcoming rom-com film ‘BALU MAHI’ and preparations of the film are in full swing. It’s been along time since the fans are waiting for the release date of the film and finally the wait is over. The release date for Balu Mahi is finally out, the movie is all set to release on February 10, 2017!

Video of Ainy Jaffri learning dance for the movie song.

Here are few shots from the movie.

Film Balu Mahi is directed by Haissam Hassan and produced by Sadia Jabbar. It is scheduled for release in 10th February 2017 with a star cast including Osman Khalid Butt, Ainy Jaffri and Sadaf Kanwal. The teaser of  ‘Balu Mahi’ was recently released and it opened to mixed reviews. Fans of the leads were quite excited watching the teaser since it had lots of elements to offer but the critics think Bollywood film seemed like an inspiration to the makers of Balu Mahi.

The teaser and the motion poster was said to be having resemblance with those of Sanjay Leela Bhansali Films. And much like most of the critics, we felt that too but the leads of the film thinks otherwise. According to the leads the movie is based on our culture and is miles apart from anything that exists in an Indian movie.

Talking to HIP, one of the most favorite actors, Osman Khalid Butt, felt that the comparison may have been complimentary but no imitation had been done.

“The comparison is a compliment, but this is the style of the director Haissam Hussain. He is a visionary and he has shot the movie using open frames. Pause the teaser anywhere and you will see that each frame looks like a painting. Maybe that’s how people drew comparisons,” Osman said.

Assuring HIP that Balu Mahi is unique in its own way, he explained,

“The story is for our society and has a message of women empowerment. It’s not influenced by Bollywood story wise.”

A photo posted by Balu Mahi (@balumahi.official) on Nov 11, 2016 at 9:34am PST

Ainy Jaffri, who was disappointed about her upcoming movie being called a copy, also explained that though the comparison is a huge compliment since millionaires fund a Bhansali film, Balu Mahi isn’t based on any other movie.

“We didn’t realize the posters were similar till people started pointing it out,” she revealed. “The fact is, we share the same history with India, our culture, music, and weddings are similar too. Hence, our movies end up appearing the same, and this is the first films in years that look as good as a Bollywood film aesthetically. Even if the song reminds you of Bhansali’s films, the rest of the story has nothing to do with his movies,” she stated.

Speaking on his character in the movie, Osman shared with HIP,

“Bilal is a man on a mission. He has come back from England and he is driven, that is until his world falls apart,” he explained, “When he meets Mahi, he is drawn to her exuberance and optimism. Because of her he begins to see life in a different way.”

Shedding light on her role, Ainy shared,

“Mahi is an independent, fierce and passionate girl of today. Her character resonates with a lot of young girls from Pakistan who want to carve their own future,” she explained.

According to her, Mahi will be a role model to many women and will motivate them to break out of the chains of society.

“She respects her traditions and culture but doesn’t just follow norms that she feels are not right,” further revealed Ainy. “The movie is her journey of self discovery and brings her closer to the goals she wants to achieve,” she concluded.

When asked how the audience will react once the movie is released, both the lead actors remained nervous yet hopeful, and interestingly, not cocky at all. After all, it’s our down-to-earth stars that make us fall in love with them.

“I’m nervous since it’s my first movie and my character was quite challenging, hence I put in a lot of hard work to get the role right. I am grateful to be chosen for such a fresh film.” Like us, he also feels that Ainy Jaffri and her beauty in this movie will pull audiences towards the cinemas, “Ainy has done a magnificent job and people will go to the cinemas to watch her,” the actor stated.

Ainy Jaffri, who believes that her hard work must be reciprocated by fans also said,

“I can’t predict how they will react to the movie but I hope the audience recognizes our hard work and the movie ends up doing well.One thing I know for sure is, that people will go to watch this visually striking masterpiece. And there will be a lot of surprises and twists in store for them,” concluded Ainy Jaffri.

Pakistan’s biggest province in terms of area is Balochistan. However, unfortunately it is the most behind in terms of development. The Balochistan film industry is the most neglected industry of all the provinces.

According to the producers the film “Sangat” will be the very first of its kind. It is an upcoming contemporary production of Baloch cinema. The producer Waheed Albushi, further said he and his team is looking forward to revive cinema in the province.

He rightly pointed out the development that is required by the Balochistan film Industry.

Though the Pakistani film industry is undergoing a revival of sorts, the Balochistan film industry has yet to develop as there is a dearth of the filmmakers here.

He further shared his grievances saying that the cinemas are being converted to shopping malls.

In the last few years, four out of the seven cinemas in Quetta have been closed down due to lack of productions.

The movie’s plot revolves around the story of five friends and involves a lot of drama and action sequences.

It was filmed in Oman, and was made with a budget of Rs 3 million.

Albulshi further added that plan to release the film nationwide as well as in Gulf states is under works, and that it will premiere in Balochistan in the “coming weeks”.

The director of the film, Sami Sarang , in an interview to a local news agency, said that he wants to portray a different side of Balochistan through this film. He also shared what he hopes to achieve with this film,

We are hoping to lay down a foundation and build a strong film industry so that the young Baloch talent has a platform to showcase their skills.

The trailer of the film was released last year, but due to some technical difficulties, the release date for delayed:

Shan e Ramzan this year once again had a special segment for kids and we got to see many children in the show. Shah Brothers as usual were the staple part of the whole transmission as they appeared in Shan e Iftar and later on in Jeeto Pakistan. Another viral child sensation that has gripped the nation is Shiraz of the Shirazi Vlogs fame. Shiraz and Muskan, the brother-sister duo were also invited to Shan e Ramzan and became a part of several shows. Their entry was viral all over and many comments and opinions came forward.

Waseem Badami defended these kids coming on the show and said that he would like to invite all the kids of Pakistan to Shan e Ramzan if he could. He added that he would not mind his own son coming to the show so he would not mind any other child coming on either.

A Baloch child took to his TikTok and complained about why he was not called on the Ramadan show when everyone else is getting a chance. He added that he is also talented so why was he neglected, because he was from Balochistan, a province which has always been neglected by everyone in and out of power.

This is what the child had to say:

@toorkhan1255 kya Balochistan se Hona Jurm hai?🥹💔😔#foryou #foryoupage #fypage #babache #بلوچستان #⭐️boy ♬ original sound – baba che⭐

People are reacting to his complaint and cheering him up on his talent:

Baloch Child Abu Bakar who is known as Baba Che on TikTok went viral yesterday. What happened was that the young kid was feeling down on not being invited to Shan e Ramzan and complained to Waseem Badami that why is he neglected when all other kids have gotten a chance to visit. Is it because he is from Balochistan, a province that has always been ignored. The emotional video went viral and people felt sad for him.

Young politician Jamal Raisani and Chief Minister Balochistan saw his video and they decided to pay the young child a visit and give him the confidence he needed. They also connected him to Waseem Badami via video call and he promised to invite Baba Che next year.

Here is the young lad meeting lawmakers of the province:
