Veena Malik, the Pakistani starlet,  is currently in India to shoot for her Bollywood film ‘Mumbai 125 km’. While shooting an action sequence with the actress turned out to be a nightmare for her co-star Vedita Pratap, who was brutally beaten up by Veena. Veena, who reportedly does not share a good rapport with Vedita, had to enact a fight sequence, which demanded little acting. But Veena got extremely violent in real and ended up injuring her co-star on the head.
Vedita had to be …

Outside the dingy and old Metropole cinema in Lahore, for the first time in years, huge crowds showed up for the premiere of Pakistani films Bhai Log, Love Mein Ghum and Jugni. The quality and effort put in the films contributed to what the producers claim was a successful run for Pakistani films that were released this Eid. “We have not had this much rush in years,” commented Ashraf who works at the ticket sale office at Metropole cinema. “Most of our shows are selling out for the first time …

While most of the city was celebrating Eid in the traditional way, several Lahoris found a very different way to celebrate the occasion.
Cinema houses in Lahore were jam-packed as new Lollywood movies began their screening from the first day of Eid, and brought some new talent to the front. With hit Bollywood film ‘Bodyguard’ featuring Salman Khan as competition, Lollywood jumped into the boxing ring with Reema’s much awaited ‘Love Mein Ghum’, and Syed Faisal Bokhari’s ‘Bhai Log’.
Probably the more hard-hitting of the two was …

At first glance one is instantly swayed and enthralled by Reema’s slick promo for her film Love Mein Ghum. With Ali Zafar’s vocals and a glittering roll call of the film, television and fashion industry’s (arguably) finest, the film’s title track, “Love Mein Ghum”, reeks heavily of another title song, “Om Shanti Om” and the over arching camaraderie that it sought to project and promote within the Indian film fraternity onto the screens.
That particular song worked brilliantly for the film since it spoke of all ‘stars’ (a pun on constellations …

The young star, who has played contrasting roles in the famous television dramas “Barish kay Ansoo” and “Tanveer Fatima (BA)”, admits it …

While we still don’t know the mystery man playing the male lead in Mira Nair’s upcoming film, based on Pakistani writer Mohsin Hamid’s second book, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, it has been announced that Meesha Shafi has been cast in the film. “One singer Meesha Shafi has been cast in Mira Nair’s next film The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” reported Rediff News. When contacted by The Express Tribune, Shafi’s representative refused to comment, saying she has been refrained to give details to the press at the moment.

Maestro Shoaib Mansoor’s hard-hitting social drama titled Bol is set to release in India on Eid, August 31.
The film, which is the first by the talented director after his critically acclaimed and award-winning Khuda Kay Liye, released in Pakistan on June 24. According to indiaglitz.com, the film has been declared a super hit as it has received a tremendous opening and grossed about Rs4.9 million on the first day, which is more than Ready and My Name is Khan grossed on their first day in Pakistan.
Khuda Kay Liye — a …

The recent string of newly released Pakistani films has failed to make a dent in box office sales, suggesting a continued decline of Lollywood, due to the lack of response by audiences.
Cinema owners suggest that the film-makers must make movies of international standards if they are to capture the Pakistani market. They said that very few films had been released this year, including Urdu film Khamosh Raho and Punjabi film Ek Ghazi Aur. Both lasted merely three days at the box office and were deemed as ‘utter failures’ due to …
