All these idle cinemas in Karachi used to be as crowded few years ago, and they were 1000's of them through out the country and now we are left with only 200. It's indeed the plight of our Pakistani film industry. We are not that much groomed as we should be not as compare to Bollywood because we just can't simple compete them, anyhow we can still try to some extent of their films level.
I came across reading some articles, newsletters on media, there I found almost every actor and actress complaining, assuring that govt. should give them incentives to the local talent and so the new comers, in order to nurture our industry. In my view it's not just easy because since then when Pakistan got independency, we have been facing political turmoil. India on the other hand is safe and sound, its democratic institutions are working effectively and people have very lesser complaints then here in Pakistan.
Its not that we have less talent, we have abundant of talent here in Pakistan too but equal utilization and opportunities can provide those talents a bright path. I guess it’s the era of new singers; we have such great talent both in classical and rock, in Pakistan. Singers like Shafqat Amanat Ali, Atif Aslam and etc. But it's just not our government who has to be blame every time, somehow we lack in actors and actress, no offense.
Way back in 1980's and 1990's and still in 2000 we have been making such disgusting films which we cant enjoy them in public, actress acting in those movies are not worth acting. And plus these films weren’t successfully came on the edge of the industry, people from rural, interior and from countryside enjoy them more then a literate citizen of Pakistan. And people hardly remember the name of such movies which lacks in decency and performance and of course the story. If we compare movies of 80's, 90's and 2000 the most popular movie came totally with its urge is "Khuda kai liye" (In the name of God) and "Ye dil ap ka dua", why? Because they have come up with the different story and idea which strikes to almost everybody's heart. And we need producers like Shoaib Mansoor, if would be unfair if I don't mention those new faces in the movie, although they were already working in the industry as musician, model and etc but they haven’t appeared in any movie yet. This movie I am sure would have given them a direction to work in films again.
I was talking about some actress and actor who have been demanding from the govt. to give them incentives, but our govt. is already facing deficit, either its democratic institution is deteriorating in terms of efficiency. We are currently facing judiciary crises, wheat crises, hyper inflation, sugar crises, poverty and what not? It's important for govt. to get rid of these problems first in order to pay attention to other thing; a drop of hope is not even visible to make it happen. Sad but true.
Indians are always making films in their own mother tongue, although its said be to be "Hindi" but it's so very similar to Urdu, that even a Pakistani can understand it easily. And we on the other hand make films in Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, and so on. I am not bias for the language here but I am criticizing the room provided for us and the language which is commonly understood by masses is Urdu, not Punjabi, Sindhi or Pashto. It's indeed the plight of our Pakistani film industry if we don't keep in mind these things, we always take it as granted. If we watch the American movies they do have unity in terms of language, although America is too wide in area and so does in population, there u may find a lot of local languages and speakers but in order to make it broadly understood they keep their movies in "English".
If we noticed that in every Indian movie they want their culture to be alive and grow each and every day. You will always find their movies full of culture and persuading Indians towards their cultural and their values, they always show their traditional practices in their movies; either it’s a low budget movie or high they always try to make it alive. In order to keep their culture grows. They have the message in every of their movie. But here in Lolly wood it's not the case, we have such pathetic story and people working in the movie which spoil the mood of the viewer. That is the one reason that why our Pakistani's are more into Indian movies, by and large they enjoy watching Indian movies in comparison to Pakistani movies. Once in a blue moon director like Shoaib Mansoor came in front and showed its creativity which clicked to everybody's heart and people appreciated it, that was the time when trend of watching movies got all alive, the hope of good movies alive, and still we Pakistani's are waiting producers like Shoaib Mansoor and his movie like Khuda Kai Liye. I don’t know how Shoaib Mansoor did it, nobody knew him before as we all know him, we know him for what he did, we know him for what he came across and no director after such long time could come up with such a brilliant talent and coherency in term of story. If Shoaib Mansaoor can did it so why cant us? There's always one step needed for everything to make it happen!

Our Film industry is nothing. No one cares about and no one wants to hear anything or watch anything from these stupid jahil people. New generation needs to step forward but i guess they're so happy having sheesha and texting and hangouts etc..
