Looks like Asad ul Haq is a man of his word. Just a few months back in April he announced that he would soon start the shooting of his directorial debut “Dekh Magar Pyar Say” and release it in August. And guess what? The man has actually done it! Yes he has completed the shooting of his film in just 45 days which is surely a feat worth celebrating.

You know when he first announced these in plans in April, the industry insiders thought of him as “too ambitious” and “a bit idealistic” and could not help but laugh it off as something that would not materialize. And honestly would you blame the trade people? We live in a country where films have taken years to make and even the ones that are relatively better timed have almost always been delayed by months at least. So for Asad to start the film in April and end it in June with a total 45 days is nothing but an achievement.

Friday 19 June seemed like just another night at Lahore’s popular DHA Cinema. Yes, it was the first day of Ramzan but movie-buffs had gathered in huge numbers to catch the first show of the much awaited Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor dance flick ‘ABCD 2’. Due to Ramzan the show timings were tweaked a bit and the first show post-iftaar was to start at 10:45pm. The audience sat in their seats, the pre-movie commercials played, then the National Anthem ( which is a norm at DHA Cinema) and then the film finally started. About two hours later the film had progressed towards its climax and the ending was almost upon the audience when something strange happened and the crowd went berserk.

Maya (Review) : This honest effort surely deserves a watch and is a first step in the right direction.

Movie Name: Maya

Release Date: June 12, 2015

Director: Jawad Bashir

Review by: Momin Ali Munshi

Although this is not the first time that we are seeing a Pakistani horror film, but the genre has so rarely been employed by Pakistani film-makers that every film that comes about seems like a first. In the last decade we have had two films which broadly fall in this horror genre. The first being the 2007 slasher film “Zibahkhana” which could not make it to cinemas and had a direct to video release and then the 2013 release “Siyaah” which saw a limited release. Now following these two films is Jawad Bashir’s directorial debut “Maya” which releases in cinemas all over Pakistan today.Having seen the film I can safely assure you that you will not be disappointed by this film. Although it is far from perfect and has its shares of mistakes but it is a first strong step in the right direction and surely deserves a watch.

“Mujh say chay chay saal chothi larkiyan lay leen hain. Make up ka itna khayal zindagi main nahi kiya jitna kay is film main kiya hay” said a cheeky Humayun Saeed when he was handed the mic to say a few words about his experience with the film “Bin Roye”. Not only did this statement elicit some cheering and applause from the crowd but it also set the mood of the entire event and was surely a befitting start to the fun filled night.

Tuesday, 9 June. It was a night like none other at the Pearl Continental Hotel Lahore as it played host to the special Press Conference/Music Preview of one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the year “Bin Roye”. The entire mood was of jubilation as not only was the cast and crew of the film present but it seemed as is if the entire film fraternity of Punjab had gathered to show support to the magnum opus that is “Bin Roye”. Cinema owners, actors, directors, journalists and media people from all over Punjab were there in the audiences which made the event look like one big celebration.
