jerjees seja, ceo ary digital network and co - producer said, “i personally can’t wait for this movie to be released, we have such high hopes. ary is committed to produce one blockbuster after another, therefore, we are excited and hopeful about the rise of new cinema in pakistan. ”
in the recent development concerning the pakistani movies is the collaboration of media giant ary films and mind works media productions to produce high budgeted and high quality pakistani movies. both the groups will venture together into numerous movies. waar 2, the sequel of waar, will be one the first joint ventures of ary films and mind works media productions and other joint venture will be “delta echo foxtrot”, another thriller on courage, sacrifice, passion, and patriotism set to release by the end of this year. delta echo foxtrot will be the first venture followed by the making of waar 2. the cast of delta echo foxtrot is not announced and kept secret. bt, it is expected that the movie will include the biggest actors of pakistani cinema and new talented faces will also be given chance as the auditions for the movie are already under way. mr salman iqbal, president and founder of ary digital network described about these two mega - films while talking at the press conference at the ary office in karachi .
academy award - winning filmmaker sharmeen obaid chinoy, the ceo of waadi animations, is also the creative director of 3 bahadur with ary films extending its expertise in distribution and marketing for the film. additionally, the original soundtrack for the movie has been composed and produced by accomplished musician shiraz uppal .
meenu gaur and farjad nabi, the directors for matteela films, said that the movies produced now will shape the future of pakistani film industry .
pakistan' s first noir crime thriller film: tamanna, to release nationwide across pakistan in march 2014. to be released by geo films .
stating his views on the collaboration, mr. jarjees seja, ary digital network’s chief executive officer, said, it is pertinent for the main players in the market to join hands to be able to make and market better films. our experience with our latest presentations like ‘waar’, ‘zinda bhaag’, and ‘main hoon shahid afridi’ tells us that there is a great hunger for pakistani cinema entertainment. the market is ready to reward and support all good efforts. this is precisely why we are joining forces with riaz shahid films and we intend to jointly produce and market four films each year from now on. at ary films, we are committed to not only provide quality entertainment through our movies but also give a business model to different advertisers and sponsors so they can use this powerful medium to integrate their brand / products and become a part of revival of pakistani cinema by investing in the movies. ”
karachi: punjab nahi jaungi, the latest offering by ary films & six sigma plus is ready to hit cinemas on eid ul adha and a special trailer launch was hosted on 5th july at nueplex cinema in karachi where the trailer of the film was showcased to the members of the media for the first time .
it has almost been a year that pakistani cinema was revamped and since then we are experiencing houseful and award - winning films by our homemade productions .
bearing in mind the bash of a premiere yesterday, think of the cameos as family - support for mr. saeedand shahzad nasib’s sure fire blockbuster; and, in case anyone forgets about either their or ary films’ – who distributes the movie along with mandviwalla entertainment – place in the industry, this is one extended family .
has cemented in the last year, making it one of the biggest and the most versatilepakistani cinema game changers in the last decade. ary films (including
the platform
) has so far released josh - against the grain, main hoon shahid afridi, lamha, zinda bhaag and waar. not only that, but the company' s other associations includes a collaboration with mandviwalla entertainment focusing on tent - pole commercial feature films, an indie unit
the platform
, and the recent partnership with riaz shahid films is produce a slate of four motion pictures, including an official sequel to mahesh bhatt it' s
arth
.
films, and will be releasing its teaser trailers in the coming months. we can’t wait to see what hamza ali abbasi has in store for us this year .
i think its too early for a squeal. . but i also wish very best of luck to ary & pakistan with this film too... ... it must have been very difficult for pakistani media for giving so much coverage to pakistani films instead of covering indian film industry and india actors day to day activities... .
nazafreen saigol, the chief executive officer of herald entertainment, expressed his excitement on starting the new venture and also praised matteela films to be on same page as dawn .
“we are excited to be a part of the emerging film industry in pakistan. we intend to bring the highest quality of films to the pakistani viewers. the revival of cinema in pakistan is an exciting opportunity. we hope to play our role in bringing pakistani films to the level of the best in the world, ” saigol said .
it was disappointing to know that waar 2 will not have the brains of bilal lashari as the director. the ary films officials announced that waar 2’s direction won’t be undertaken by bilal lashari anymore. dr hassan waqas rana will be the director of waar 2. dr hassan waqas rana also happens to be the writer and producer of waar and he is more acquainted with the story and peripherals of the movie. but, one wonders why bilal lashari was ignored for this job as he did the brilliant direction of the movie. another thing that made waar prominent was the cinematography and bial lashari was the person behind it. we haven’t heard the reason for this directorial change from ary films but we will, surely, miss the master class of bilal lashari in the waar 2 .
so heartening to see such positive news coming out of pakistan. thank you ary and mind works media for putting faith in the local talent and taking a bold initiative to revive the industry. god bless you all !
ceo ary digital network jerjees seja also shared his expectations about the film. “when released, this movie will make people laugh harder than it did just now, when they viewed it behind - the - scenes, ” said jerjees seja. “this movie will also be a resounding success just like 3 bahadur, which has grossed more than rs 5 crore at the box office. people are watching 3 bahadur instead of bollywood films. ”
the joint venture, which was held at ary’s medina city mall offices, launched “delta echo foxtrot”, an actioner of “courage, sacrifice, passion and patriotism” set to release in 2014, and “waar 2” the sequel of the immensely successful “waar” .
ramchand pakistani (which i loved, though it showed a very cruel side of india) also had an indian actress - nandita das - and indian music composers. khuda ke liye had nasiruddin shah. similarly for some other pak films .
to solidify the deal, two films were announced at the event, arth 2 and mission - 5, along with a subsequent announcement that the former’s launch event will be held next month where indian film director mahesh bhatt will also be present .
not only one, but two movies will be releasing in year 2014. the joint venture, which was held at ary' s medina city mall offices, launched the
delta echo foxtrot
, an actioner of
courage, sacrifice, patriotism and passion

cinema can be a good way to promote country’s image as it promotes the overall image of the country. lollywood is improving the quality of films that its making–not only in terms of content such as script and plot but also in terms of production, direction and music .
@ pakistani: i dont think it is sad. what is sad is the way some films are made. in my opinion ppl often try to be different by making message based films. i may not speak for everyone but a good number of ppl want to go see a film that does not preach too much. and if it does then that message should not be forced on to us. a good example is chambaili. bad examples are other films. i think on the same topic of message based films ramchand pakistani was a better than others. also i think it is good for dawn to be open to different opinions. i read an article by the director of josh and then there is this review from their regular reviewers. both are welcome and shows that dawn' s policy is without agenda to promote a single point of view on a film. criticizing is good too. i dont want to spend my money on a film that does not make sense or makes me feel like i have wasted money. so far the reviews here are right on .
waar 2 remains the most anticipated pakistani movie. the fans can’t wait for the movie to release. but the release date seems so far and one wonders why the producers announced the release date as it only leaves audience more curious. people will get to see brilliance of shaan shahid in waar 2 as he is expected to shine in it the way he did in waar. and, the effort put in by ary films and mind works media together for blessing the fans with the expectedly great pakistani movies like waar 2 is laudable and we thank them for this act .
riddled with controversies which the majority is deeming another means of promotion, ary film' s first production' jawana phir nahi ani' isn' t even out yet and the acclaimed film distribution company has already announced its second production which obviously is enough to excite the serious cinema goers across the nation .
saw the film in canada was great, so proud pakistan is producing fun films enough with the social messages and the heavy drama this film is the entry of pakistan into the stage to be recognized. all those related to the making of this film please take a bow, a job well done !
at the occasion mr. salman iqbal, president and founder, ary digital network said “after the super success of waar and the sound relationship that we have developed with mind works media, it is natural for both companies to bring their expertise together for even bigger and better movies. the fans of pakistani cinema have proved that if we make a good film, they will watch and appreciate it” .
speaking at the trailer launch, nadeem baig was thrilled and said, “we hope that 2017 will be an amazing year for pakistani cinema and that we will be able to be the game changer in the area of producing films. with an amazing star cast, we hope that our viewers will be entertained and will go out of the cinema being content. ”
colourful lights lit up the amiably placed banners, which showcased different characters from the film. slowly but surely, the stars arrived one by one. the sound of shutters clicking filled the air and flashes from cameras lit up the indoor corridor, as danish taimoor, sohai ali, javed sheikh and danish nawaz exchanged greetings and pleasantries. ceo of ary digital network jerjees seja was also present on the occasion .
at the occasion of the joint venture, mr. . salman iqbal, president and founder (ary digital network), said
after the great success of waar and the sound relationship we have developed that with mind works media, it is natural for both companies to bring their expertise together for even bigger and better movies. the fans of pakistani cinema have proved that if we make a good movie, they will watch and appreciate it .
cinema can be a good way to promote the country' s image as it promotes the overall image of the country. lollywood is improving the quality of films that its making - not only in terms of content as a dry script and plot but also in terms of production, direction and music. and, flicking through the box office collections, it seems the pakistani audience around the world is lapping it all up. pakistanis seem to find new pakistani movie fascinating .
shaan on occasion said, “we are delighted to have one of the biggest media groups of pakistan as our partner. this is not just a collaboration but rather a marriage of two ideologies combined together and it will mark a new era for pakistani film industry. my special thanks to ary film for their vision; their dedication and patriotism is the reason for the culmination of this partnership. i hope this collaboration will further raise the standard of pakistani cinema industry and bring it to international front, creating a soft image of pakistan in the process. ”
@ pakistani: when a movie comes after such a while then sure people do expect them better this is not 80' s or 90' s decade now compeition are much even if bollywood does not produce better people leave them and move on to other cinema as there better movies are available, if we want to support these films then do watch them in cinemas. but still those people who are moviegoers expect better from pakistani directors writers when they produce less then it should be quality stuff .
i am feeling very strange, after reading this review. which is half technical and half amateur. i think in this current situation if pakistani make this kind of movie, it is fantastic piece of movie making where every thing is unorganized and situation and business environment is highly risky. at least appreciate the production teams efforts. what so ever this kind of stuff is not seen in many years in pakistan. this is a first step to clear the rust and dirt. every gender and age group are liking this, i being cinema owner fully appreciate the work of whole team and distributor and ary. .
i saw waar. as an indian, i didn' t see anything wrong with it. yes, the antogonist was indians, but them being indian had nothing to do with the plot. and if we use that argument, we will lose horribly. we have more gadar like films in our history than the veer zaaras. i thoroughly enjoyed the film, and haven' t see that good a film in south asia for a long time. i did wish that the film could have been a little more in urdu. but everything else, i loved. was deff a well made movie. salute from an indian .
this movie was better than most of the same - old coming out of bollywood. there was some good cinematography and some gritty scenes of karachi. however, the director is tackling a serious social topic and wants to be taken seriously. i am glad for an addition in pakistani films but this thing completely lacked any remnant of character development. do you really need a big budget for developing character? that excuse can' t be used. everyone is a stereotype. when someone that matters to the main character is killed, nobody watching the film cared. the character (s) were too thinly written. the director is going to bollywood now and i think that is where she may fare better with a nice song - and - dance. too bad, she has potential .
i attended a screening of the film' josh' at which the director of the film was also present and engaged in q & a. the film is obviously not going to fetch an oscar but neither does it merit a scathing review of the kind that appeared. movie reviews are usually highly subjective and are by no means the definitive last words. in the us, oftentimes when two reviewer teams review a film, quite often the two entirely disagree. i haven' t heard about this reviewer before but wrapping one' s statements in flowery language doesn' t a good review make. there is absolutely nothing wrong with' message' films; pakistan being overrun by a plethora of societal malfunctioning issues could use a few; moreover the pakistani film industry lies supine and any efforts to break out of this dismal state ought to be encouraged not at the cost of blanket endorsement but certainly without the kind of tone that almost smacks of being hateful .
you know i was i waiting for a yet another negative review from this freelance urltoken' s writer. but what made me more sad thn the review itself is urltoken' s judging policy of approving and putting up pieces. we as a society (pakistanis) are so negative and prone to only take out bad things from anything that comes up for us. appreciation is not thr in us, we are a dead bunch of people. now a lot might comment that why am i going sentimental about film, my friends its not about the film, its actually about the the sad state we are in. the writer did not think for a moment that he should atleast comment on the fact that after a long gap films are coming and this is something to appreciated. you cant expect satyajit ray kind of cinema or anything like kubrick or scorsese. things don' t happen overnight, you gotta give filmmakers (with no budget) chances, a little space to breather, a few pats on the back that atleast they did something beside sitting and criticizing. extremely sad !
the movie is incorporated with the dark humor, passion and crime which is based on anthony shaffer’s play, sleuth .
cast of the movie includes rizwan ahmed (omair rana), a struggling actor who meets mian tariq ali (salman shahid), a leftover of the once booming film industry .
the struggling actor is there to convince ali to divorce his wife. a race of male power between two men starts quite reasonably, playfully but eventually results in fury and violence .
the interactions between the two men are similar to the play; the movie has given equal role to all, also to the second, younger wife, who is the character’s object of desire .
the dialogues are in urdu, and the scenario adapted in numerous ways relatable to pakistani culture. the genre of the movie is drama, directed by a british director steven moore and produced by pakistani producer sarah tareen .
omair rana, salman shahid, mehreen raheel and faryal gohar are being starred in the movie .
before the release of the movie it won an award at the london asian film festival for the first released song, sung by rahat fateh ali khan .
other songs included in the film are sung by ali azmat and amanat ali .
the movie is produced by concordia productions and is all set to be released on 13 th june 2014 in cinemas across pakistan .
jalaibee will be released in cinemas across pakistan, united kingdom (uk), united state of america (usa) and united arab emirates (uae). this is first time that a pakistani film will be released simultaneously in four different countries .
the cast of film features danish taimoor, ali safina, wiqar ali khan, zhalay sarhadi, sajid hasan, sabeeka imam, adnan jaffer, uzair jaswal .
main hoon shahid afridi was also released in the country and received positive feeeback. chambeli also managed to draw crowds as it was released on the perk of the general elections .
zinda bhaag, which starred renowned bollywood actor naseeruddin shah, was also well received by the audience. film lamha won two awards at new york city international film festival .
and, flicking through the box office collections, it seems the pakistani audience around the world is lapping it all up. pakistanis seem to find new pakistani movie fascinating .
managed to hit the bull' s eye with its movie waar now the fans are looking forward for waar - 2 which is set to be released next .
“waar 2” and “delta echo foxtrot” set to release in joint venture - home - dawn. com
dear reader, online ads enable us to deliver the journalism you value. please support us by taking a moment to turn off adblock on dawn. com .
“waar 2” will be helmed by “waar’s” producer and writer hasan rana, and is set to be shot in pakistan, u. k. , russian, turkey and yugoslavia with “national and international superstars” .
commenting on the occasion dr. hasan rana said that “we want all projects to be game changers and we want to push ourselves to the very edge of what is possible. we hope that we can come up to the expectations which the people of pakistan have with us” .
i have a feelin delta echo foxtrot, might not be the real name of the movie. it' s just a code name they might have given to their project, the rea namel might be decided latter on, when the project is near its release .
waar was a superb movie... already watched it twice in theaters... . hope waar 2 will be more better... delta echo foxtrot... not sure about his movie... but good to see pakistani cinema is thriving finally
i will not be surprise if bollywood makes a movie like waar, because pakistan has again started the trend of making movies which bollywood used to make like border, loc, tango charlie. waar is a good movie but i think our country (pak) must make movies that bring the people of both countries togather rather spliting them .
i see ashir azeem from dhuuan in the picture. if he is involved in either of these ventures its bound to be an awesome production. god speed team... . make us proud .
@ junayd: first, waar was not very anti - india. there were subtle mentions and a direct involvement of the indian government was not shown. secondly, waar has songs from the indian coke studio .
currently, we need to establish our own national identity and waar does a good job at it .
waar was good because it was directed by bilal lashari. one does not see him in the picture instead it' s mr syed noor. so god help them if they take this route
its not an indian song its a paki. old song in urdu and sindhi language sung by old sindhi artist i dont exactly remember the name of that artist if u google it u will find the name @ saad durrani :
@ saad durrani: correct urself sir, waar songs are from coke studio pakistan... .
we want bilal lishari to direct the movie. he should be given his reward

in a quick cut somewhere in the second act of iram parveen bilal’s directorial debut josh, a “madari” makes a monkey flip on the hood of a car. if this is a consciously placed subconscious subtext, then it didn’t gel – or maybe yours truly was feeling a tad “thick” the day of the screening .
“josh, ” which focuses on fatima (amina sheikh), a young woman who willingly – and stubbornly – digs herself into a socio - political scrape, is filled with such allegories that are either too quick to cut away or hit without the right emotional wallop. but by the time the simian jumps, this particular subtlety has become a recurring theme in an otherwise straightforward, pizazz - less performance play that feels like an ngo - backed propagation reel .
i know this sounds harsh, and given the no - nonsense context and execution of “josh” maybe it is. however, a motion picture has a different set of cinematic requirements, most of which fall drastically short here. and i am not talking about the commerciality of the endeavor – mainly because there isn’t, and secondly because there’s no room for it here .
ms. sheikh’s fatima, the anchor of ms. bilal’s screenplay, is a fine lass with an unpretentious humanitarian - gist. at one point, she bulk buys a number of paintings from a street - side artist for rs. 50 each, because she sees him being bullied to sell them at rs. 35. so, i guess, it’s rather apparent that she rallies up to unearth the mystery of her nanny’s (nyla jaffri) demise when she goes back to her place in “khuda ki basti” .
the settlement is pseudo - owned by khan (kaiser khan nizamani, engaging), a local “wadera” with a cinematically clichéd power - hold. as it happens, the wadera / blow - em - up peculiarity is a genetic gift that even khan’s 7 year old shera (abdullah khan, armed with his annoying blinking toy - gun), is already quite well - versed with .
for some strange reason, shera has it in for fatima – which leads to one of the few genuinely comedic moments in “josh”. actually, all of shera’s scenes– and one scene with fatima’s walk - away escape from kidnapping – are laugh riots (the latter wasn’t intended as one) .
apart from fatima and shera, everyone else in “josh” is either too stereotypical by themselves, or too stereotypically placed in the screenplay to work .
the supporting roll - call goes like this: khalid malik plays adil, fatima’s artistically frustrated beau; mohib mirza is uzair, a young - blood politician who gets smitten by fatima – even though the screenplay presents a lack of support for either his, or adil’s affections (they almost scuffle once, but more as an after - thought of a previously stuffed - in scene) .
then there’s salim mairaj’s inconsiderately utilized school master, khalid; ali rizvi’s ahmed is a youth, whose presence doesn’t make a squat of a difference; adnan shah tipu’s gulsher is khan’s conflicted and emasculated lackey; parveen akber plays parveen – the woman who becomes josh’s latter point - of - inspiration, without apparent buildup .
josh’s sense of ephemerality is an omnipresent enemy – khan’s wrath, or menace, are simply mcguffins to get the wheels moving .
while ms. bilal’s intelligence as a director shows a clear understanding of the filmmaking process, and the cinematography by nausheen dadabhoy presents a frame - accurate distance of space and characters (not to mention, skilled shots of sunsets with layered horizontal depths). alas, the film’s self - serious rebellion to be “seriously indie” with a “message” takes a lot out of these two gems .
josh is then, about 30 minutes too long, and too superficial and flat to stir up reactions. characters talk about unity, and they marshal behind fatima by the climax – which they ought to, to get the right word out to the film’s audience – but that’s all they do … get the “message” across .
presented by nadeem mandviwalla and muhammad jarjees seja, josh stars: aamina sheikh, mohib mirza, khalid malik, navin waqar, khalid ahmed, parveen akber, nyla jafri, kaiser khan nizamani, saleem mairaj, adnan shah tipu, ali rizvi and faizan haqquee .
directed by iram parveen bilal; executive produced by hany abu - assad; produced by ms. bilal and kelly thomas with associate producers mehnaz alavi diwan and oscar hernandez; co - produced by saad bin mujeeb; line produced by saqib chawla; music by shahi hasan, andrew t. mackay; cinematography by nausheen dadabhoy; editing by jochen kunstler; production design by ms. alavi diwan .
despite living movies 24 / 7 (http: / / kamranjawaid. com), the writer is still truly, madly, deeply in love with cinema; the root cause of this anomaly requires further clinical trials .

it is so harrowing to see urltoken publish a review this horrendous. the idea isn' t to jam words willynilly kamran, the idea is coherency, accessibility and sincerity of opinion. i genuinely hope no one in their right minds is paying you for your' service' .
agree with mr pakistani. the pakistani media is filled with crises oriented and grim news and it seems that they are bent upon presenting a negative image of the country. i have not seen this movie but the actress is better looking and slim, during pakistan 's golden era of film industry the actresses looked more like wrestlers .
i was kind of disappointed with the review as well. i was looking forward to this movie. i will still watch it though to support our cinema .
i always see angry reactions on the reviews at dawn. why? i think it is because we as a people always want to negate on opinions. if an opinion is good we say it is bad. if the opinion is bad we go against it as well .
i respect what new film - makers are doing for pakistan but i do not understand why we keep seeing mediocre or message based movies when our cinema clearly needs good commercial blockbusters. dawn was promoting siyaah and i ended up taking the time out to watch it in karachi when i was there. i laughed so hard during the movie and agreed with what the review here said about it so i expect the review here to hold merit for josh too.
