even though his second film bol, which was recently cleared by the pakistan film censor board, is slated to release soon, mansoor is staying quiet .
abhishek bachchan and ajay devgn starrer bol bachchan has not only wowed film fraternity but also the movie buffs .
the musician also shot for his debut film last year, shoaib mansoor’s second feature film, titled bol. it stars umaima abbasai and mahira khan along with aslam, who plays a doctor in the film .
the pakistani film section will be headlined by a screening of shoaib mansoor’s bol which will be followed by a question and answer session with the film’s lead actor humaima malick. additionally, there will also be a documentary on behind - the - scenes of the film tamanna which will discuss both the film and the pakistani film industry .
bol, the much - awaite­d film by shoaib mansoo­r, is likely to be releas­ed after the cricke­t world cup .

new delhi: pakistani film bol, starring singer - actor atif aslam, is set to release in india on eid, aug 31 .
shoaib mansoor’s 2nd full length feature film “bol” has broken all the previous records of business at the box office, pakistan. the pakistani film made 22 million rupees in just first 6 days of its release .
bollywood has rejuvenated dying pakistani theatres and now pakistan’s film industry is looking to indian audiences for survival. bol is just the third film produced this year in pakistan. “the film industry has to cater to larger markets, which are very different from those that existed in past .
people expressed mixed reviews about bol, but only the film’s box office record will reveal its standing after it hits cinemas nationwide on june 24 .
kolkata: four years after ‘bol’ released, kolkata was gearing up for the release of yet another pakistani film — ‘bin roye’. but with maharashtra navnirman sena (mns) asking the film’s distribution company not to release it in maharashtra, the film’s release in kolkata has also become uncertain .
in a nation with no “real” film industry and very limited talent and creativity, a film like “bol” would obviously generate hype. but does this movie actually lives up to it? the answer is a resounding no .
bol is a great movie…. it was nice story. beat by indian cinema

much more was expected from the music producer, who worked with the legendary vital signs and gave pakistani film music a new identity by fusing together pakistani pop, classical and rock music in his first film .

sorry to say. . bol is a very borin movie. . ppl appreciate the outspoken value. . but its depressing and boring
bol has recovered its finance many times over already in pakistan. with this negativity, it is only you who is being misguided !
bol has a striking story to tell. it’s about a hakeem sahab’s quest to have a son that sees his wife give birth to fourteen children, but only seven daughters survive. the eighth is a hermaphrodite, much to hakeem’s embarrassment. the film
comparing to what the pakistani music scene is currently offering, bol ’s music is simply banal. it also suffers in terms of production. in fact one wonders why mansoor didn’t collaborate with great music producers like meekal hassan and rohail hayyat. it is very unfortunate that the music of the second biggest film of recent times sounds like that of an average indian film .

the film’s opening was a savvy event. a long red carpet paved the way to atrium and as a prelude to the film; a separate partition had adorned with huge posters of bol. upon entering the premises, all the guests had to pass through a series of stringent security checks. the organisers were smart for being meticulous about security arrangements — since shoaib mansoor’s films have a tendency to touch on controversial subjects .

london asian fil festival is a joke created by few indians living in london. the so - called festival is an ethnic social event with non - entities forming part of their team. pakistan has to make films that shown in known and recognised festivals around the world. bol though made by a very talented film maker, did not pass the tests for entries into such festivals around the world, like cannes, london film festival, raindance film festival, abu dhabi, new york, san fransisco, india etc. the funniest comments made by some were that they beat michael winterbottom and a r rehman in the “race”. they won’t even know who showed their film and whether they had permission from the producers .

sorry guys. films like bol are really bad pr for pakistan and you need to see that. shoaib mansoor needs to promote tolerance with his cinema rather than creating divisions .
former principal of nca and human rights activist salima hashmi told the express tribune, “shoaib is a very courageous filmmaker. his earlier film created a debate on various interpretations of islam. nobody at that time imagined that the film could be a hit because it was based on a very hard - hitting topic. i believe that bol will also open up a debate on women’s issues which is always good to solve problems. this is how a great filmmaker can contribute to society. ”

i havent watched it … but atleast its a mass entertainer. . i dont like the vulgur cinema i guess in it. but bol was really a joke at revival of cinema .
shoaib is indeed a courageous storyteller and this film must have sparked off a debate when it released in pakistan several weeks ago. like khuda kay liye, bol addresses the religious extremism in the neighboring country. it’s about a daughter who stands up against her father, but most importantly, she dares to defy the age - old societal norms that treat women as lesser beings. the fact that a pakistani film - maker has had the courage to tackle this theme makes it all the more commendable and praiseworthy .

featuring great pop icons like sajjad ali, hadiqa kiani, atif aslam, ahmed jahanzeb, shuja haider and shabnam majeed, bol is certainly not worth the hype associated with these big names .
' bol is shoaib mansoors second dramatic breakthrough of revealing life with its complexities. after khuda kay liye, that went on to win several international awards, bol is another gripping story authored by him. bol is a roller coaster of emotions, yet carries subtleties that make your heartbeat stop.' bol' shows a family that can barely make ends meet. based in the heart of lahore, the story takes place in a house full of daughters, with vibrancy of life, yet restrictions on blooming imposed by their father who subscribes to a set of values that embody contradictions, values that have not been questioned.' bol' questions these values. humaima malick plays a daughter who gets affected the most by the tensions within the family. she respects the norms she has been given by her parents yet is compelled by her intuitive logic and sense of justice to rebel. bol takes you through a journey into the life of this family experiencing their troubles, sufferings, resolves and high points. as family members take decisions to solve their problems they step into deeper troubles. the complexity of their circumstances becomes a struggle of life and death .
incidentally, 60% of the film’s revenue is generated from maharashtra. “not releasing a film in maharashtra upsets the economics of releasing it in india. we were supposed to release 100 prints of ‘br’ in india. but now, everything is undecided. i’m surprised with the hypocrisy over issuing bans. there is no ban on ‘br’ actress
earlier this year, when the film released on june 24 in pakistan, was declared a super hit despite receiving mixed reviews, as it had received a tremendous opening .
i agree with ovais, shoaib mansoor tends to showcase the worst of pakistan, i have yet to see a hollywood film on corporate abuse, the failed - jail system or how they wreck the world. i think reema has hit the right note with her film, that is the kind of uplifting cinema we need to see more of. will be checking out love mein gum very soon, it’s showing with more screenings than the bollywood film running alongside, which is an encouraging sign for pakistani cinema .
the film released in pakistan on june 24th and has been declared a super hit as it has received a tremendous opening and grossed about 49 lakhs on the first day .
the management must be commended for starting the film punctually, in fact they were so punctual that a number of people didn’t even realise the movie had begun and missed the first few minutes. bol premiered to a full house in all the cinema halls at atrium. yet the people, who had excitedly entered that cinema hall, had mixed reactions when they exited .
i never expected a pakistani film to be without flaws but dang it, i' m going to watch this film the moment it' s released in my part of the world. shoaib mansoor is the only one currently coming out with movies. there are others in line and i can only hope that pakistani cinema sees a revival soon .
those who have watched pakistani movies are curious to watch ‘br’. composer prabuddha banerjee says, “i’ve watched ‘bol’ and ‘kkl’. i’m interested to watch this film too. ” director bappaditya bandyopadhyay had watched ‘kkl’ in cairo and ‘rp’ in delhi. “the fact that ‘br’ also has ‘henna’ - starrer zeba bakhtiar in the cast is an added attraction for me, ” he says .
however, public is likely to watch bodyguard because of its masala content. pakistanis seem quite mature to me as khuda ke liye and bol film have done far better than commercial cinema (including many bollywood blockbuster). this is against the trend if we look at box office reports from around the world! !! !! !! !! !! !! !
…. bol is much cheaper movie. even indian films dont cost that much (according to times of india whole of bollywood earns less in a year than one hollywood blockbuster like pirates of carribean .
lahore: in 2009, actor and producer aamir khan was spotted in different cities in india at events such as weddings. it was a promotional tactic inspired from the plot of his then - upcoming film, 3 idiots, which sees his friends embarking on a road trip to hunt for khan. the strategy helped propel the film to break box office records .

the film, which is the first by the talented director after his critically acclaimed and award - winning khuda kay liye (2007), released in india on august 31 as planned .
i had to rub my eyes to see deven bhojani’s name as director whilst watching the trailer. the talented actor and writer coming up with a film like commando 2 seems quite vague .
majority of the film revolves around investigation and i missed watching some hardcore action here. they could have taken inspiration from baaghi which had completely paced up in the second half with action .
says aniket kawade, vice - president of b4u that is releasing the film nationally in india, “we aren’t releasing the film in maharashtra after we got a letter from mns. the box office is too crowded this week with ‘bajrangi bhaijaan’ releasing and ‘baahubali’ doing well. so, we are still undecided over whether we will at all release the movie this week or not. ”
great art movie. best ever film by pakistan. show the realty of life with very organize way. best movie i have ever see. people how have taste must like this movie .
“i make films on sensitive issues. if i reveal the content of the movies beforehand it might lose vitality, ” shoaib mansoor told the express tribune. when asked about the release of the film, he said some issues had to be settled with the distributors but it would hit the cinemas soon. according to a source, the film is slated for release in january 2011 .
says subhasis ganguli, regional director, inox, “we are supposed to screen ‘br’ at the quest mall. since the film is in urdu, we are expecting a good turnout in a theatre situated in park circus. if plans change at the last minute, we will have to alter our programming. but security will never be an issue while releasing a pakistani film in kolkata. ”
and bodyguard is a mass appeal movie. critics dont really know what people wants. bol is not a mass entertainer and thus not a good movie that will revive pakistani cinema. the revival depends on success of mass entertainers

what i found most refreshing was how the film was received among the audience. the film is a three - hour - long advertisement for family planning and the virtues of having a small family are repeatedly stated, yet none of the usual suspects have called it un - islamic. one character openly asks others to take off their hijabs, leave the four walls of the home and experience life; yet the film has not attracted any major fatwa. i know it is not much but it gives me hope for a pakistan where people are tolerant and fatwas are hard to come by .
an undercurrent of tension every time they share the screen space. also, the start of the film, when humaima begins to narrate her story and the way her story unfolds, is shocking.
