The first Urdu feature film of the year Khamosh Raho didn’t manage to create waves in the industry and due to its bad performance was soon removed from the cinemas. Whatsoever the movie is still in news, not due to its bad performance at the box-office, but because of the ongoing fight between its producer Ghafoor Butt and actor Juggan Kazim. We were receiving similar reports during the production days of the film but now the matter has gone all public, all thanks to the media. Furthermore both the above mentioned players of this verbal fight are leaving no stones un-turned to take potshots and criticise each other.

Khamoosh Raho: The self-experience (Guest Article)
Usually when a Pakistani film is about to release, if not everyone, at least the movie fanatics know something or the other about the film. But to be honest the first time I heard of “Khamosh Raho” was about a week before its release, I was pretty surprised that how can it be possible that I never heard or read anything about the film prior to the release. Even after seeing that unprofessional first look poster, which actually was a print ad for newspapers, I still believed it to be a quality film as I saw Juggan part of it.

Pakistan’s first anime series inspired by Punjabi characters of Rahi
Punjabi cinema has really lost its glory in today’s world and thats mainly due the mass production of low quality vulgar films having nothing more than ill directed bloodshed and same overused stories on love triangles.

Since people here didn’t have any home-grown superheroes; Rahi use to be considered as one for many people in Pakistan. This mainly was because of his brave movie characters and on-screen attitude & style that he carried for a long time.
