Time
for strong scripts and screenplays:
We frequently listen about a phrase used by our artists "Revival
of Film Industry". This is true that we have come a long way in
making films, not that much as compared to Bollywood, but yes, we
make 30 or 40 films per year now. Last year, our new talented fresh
faces made super doper hits like "Mah Mir", "3 Bahadur: Revenge
of Baba Alam"," Maalik"," Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai","
Lahore se Aagey"," Ho Mann Jahaan" and "Janaan". This young
talent is working hard for the sake of the film industry But still
there is a long way to be covered. As a critic, I have noticed that
Pakistani films are based on very weak story scripts. Linger in mind
that I have come to express this statement after watching these
films:
WRONG NO:
Wrong no. is considered the best film of 2015 but still it had a
very weak script. a comedy film which features Danish Taimoor in
double role, one is a son of butcher who wants to be an actor and the
second is the grandson of a rich businessman, but due to an incident
the butcher's son became the businessman and the businessman was
imprisoned for fleeing from the house by the butcher. The roles were
very well played but the missing legacy of the story script and poor
screenplays affected a lot.
JAWANI PHIR NAHI ANI:
A super doper hit from our very beloved Nadeem Baig with a story
revolving around four friends in which three were very afraid of
their wives while one was an unmarried lawyer. JPNA's screenplay
was superb as the film was shot in Bangkok and with stars who played
their roles very passionately but story was neither impressing nor
logical as where will you find too much "Kund Zehan" wives.
KARACHI SE LAHORE:
Not a very successful film in terms of business but applauded by
many, Karachi se Lahore's screenplay disappointed a lot as the
actors Shehzad Sheikh, Ayeasha Umer and Eshita Syed did not do
justice with their roles or the director did not carefully choose the
characters. Apart from that, some scenes were missuited which were
not necessary. The whole story was fascinating revolving around a
roller coaster of a road trip from Karachi to Lahore.
BACHAANA:
A film with not very strong script made its way to box office and
became successful. Bachaana had however a weak script and screenplay
featuring Muhib Mirza and Sanam Saeed in lead roles. The story
revolved around an Indian girl and a Pakistani cab driver who faced
many difficulties in a foreign land. The film was shot in the
beautiful locations of Mauritius.
ISHQ POSITIVE:
A comedy film not with lot of comedy, did not rock on box office
neither had a strong script or screenplay. featuring Nor Bukhari and
Wali Hamid, the weak story revolved around a girl who left her home
because she did not want to marry and met with his sister in law 's
husband (to be) and when they reached home, they realized they fell
in love with each other. There were acting flaws in the film which
seem to affect the film.
Many other films including Halla Gulla,
Swaarangi, Maya, Jalaibee and BinRoye from 2015, Oye Kuch Kar Guzar,
Gardaab, Rahm, Jeewan Hathi, Blind Love, Dance Kahani, Sawal 700
Crore Dollar Ka, and Hotel from 2016, Raasta, Whistle and Chale They
Saath from 2017 failed in leaving impressing legacy in audiences'
minds.
