Promotional campaign of Khamosh Raho: Detail review

Khamosh Raho is the latest flick of seasoned director Altaf Hussain starring Shaan Shahid and Juggan Kazim together in lead roles for the first time in any film. Having an approximate budget of 1.5 crores, Khamosh Raho hit the countrywide cinemas on 10th June 2011 and became the first Pakistani movie to release this year.

Despite being a film having Shaan and Juggan in lead roles and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan at music department; Khamosh Raho didn’t really manage to create an image of being an “A class” movie or at least come to a level of Bol or Love Mein Gum. Surely a weak promotional campaign and low visual quality can be stated as two basic reasons for this.

Love Mein Gum: Trailer Review by Momin Ali

I am super excited to be “quoted” in the last article of Galaxy Lollywood on Reema’s upcoming film Love Mein Gum. Furthermore as I seem to be one of the few people who have seen the theatrical trailer of the movie, I would like to give a critique on it.

The only Pakistani film trailers we have so far witnessed this year are of Bol and now of Love Mein Gum. First of all speaking about the Bol trailer I found it to be a little haphazard and quickly put together, it should have started from something slow like a roller-coaster and then

Killing the silver screen

The time when cinema screenings of films like Maula Jatt and Haseena 420 were massive hits has been relegated to the chronicles of history. While Anjuman’s gyrating thumkasand Sultan Rahi’s wild dishums attracted the masses in hordes during the heyday of cinemas, most of them are now merely deserted and dilapidated buildings.

Recently, the Punjab government has taken a shot at resuscitating the moribund centres of entertainment by converting them into theatres. The rationale given by the
