Pakistani Cinema is confused
2 July 2023
Apart from a few truly stellar cinematic films (Maula Jutt, Moor, Manto, Waar, Namaloom Afraad, Laal Kabootar), Pakistani Cinema is confused. Most films are like directors trying to copy-paste a TV drama onto the big screen.

The same is the case with this anthology. They are a good collection of short films, but definitely not for the big screen. The second film was essentially an extended ad for Cadbury Dairy Milk, it was so bad. This should have been a digital release. Save for some excellent cinematic scenes at the end of the third short film, nothing was truly cinema eye-candy.

Pakistani directors should realize that making movies for the cinema is different than making them for the TV/Computer screen. There is a thing called cinematic experience.

Also, Khalilur Rehman should stick to writing cringey, misogynistic dramas.

Definitely not one to be watched in cinemas, see it digitally or on TV.
