Things for Pakistani cinema have seemed to be going up hill ever since the super hit Na-maloom Afraad in 2014, and boy are we glad about that! Here's looking back at some of the super hit movies we loved from 2015, and to hoping for many more!
1. Shah
Perhaps the best thing about Shah was the fact that it was based on the real story of a Pakistani Olympian boxer, who started his life on the streets of Lyari as a homeless child and went on to become the only Pakistani boxer to win an Olympics medal. Shah was highly commended by critics for being carried out without a song, melodramatic plot or any high-profile cast and still achieving what it has today!
2. Moor
Moor, meaning mother in Pashto, introduces a simplistic storyline about family values and principles that is unraveled while keeping the audience hooked throughout. With great cinematography and some gorgeous scenic shots of our snow-capped mountains, this movie highlighted the lost livelihood in Balochistan in a breathtaking and emotional journey. Not only was the story beautifully told without being pretentious or preachy, but also put across the moving concept of loving your motherland.
3. Jawani Phir Nahi Ani
Revolving around three couples and the confusion and mishaps that take place in the men's lives, this movie had a completely different genre from the other two, yet with its senseless comedy and hilarious characters it was a comical hit! Despite the fact that the storyline was quite similar to many Bollywood movies we have all seen, an entertaining plot, good actors and catchy songs made this movie fun to watch. Just goes to show that our Pakistani cinema can be an all-rounder no matter what sort of movie we produce!
