Two of Pakistani cinema’s biggest hits Tere Pyar Mein and Ghar Kab Aao Gay are set to make a comeback to the silver screens. The two films were produced by Evernew Studios, and a source has informed Galaxy Lollywood that Pakistan’s Ministry of Culture has taken a keen interest in having the films play at the cinemas again.
Both Ghar Kab Aao Gay and Tere Pyar Mein were released in 2000 and starred Shaan Shahid in their titular roles. The films showcased many action-packed thrills and their plots were high on patriotism. Besides their above-par production value, the films also boasted of popular music as well, with songs such as ‘Asmaan ko lagane hath mein’ from Tere Pyaar Mein and ‘Dil ke badle dil to’ from Ghar Kab Aao Gay being audience favorites from that year.
The digital makeover
Now, Sajjad Gul of Evernew Studios has been able to get the 35mm prints of the two films converted to the DCP format which will enable them to run in the modern multiplexes. Fans of cinema from that era and those looking to experience some top-notch productions of Pakistani cinema can look forward to enjoying the films in a crisp, new print and that too on the big screen.
When released in 2000, both the films were blockbusters and did outstanding business, enjoying a run of several months at single screens across the country. It remains to be seen what kind of a response they receive when re-released.
