Pakistan's Film Industry

[safe_blood]

that is rubbish made by the mullah awam.

how can you actully belive india will ban this film,

i doubt shoaib has even pushed the film for release there yet, let the film run in pakistan first.

and in the indian article nasurdin shah himself said its releasing in october in india.,

and also considering that there was no news of its ban in india and the first time the news came out was from a mullah in pakistan trying to ban the film.

Wonder if Kaafila got released on July 27th in Pakistan and about its reviews?

Mostly Indian film, starring Pakistani actresses Sana Nawaz (playing Afghani)& Mona Liza & few other Pakistanis in minor roles.






From these pics looks very depressing with dead-pan expressions!!

music being haram is another myth made by the mullahs.

as explained here

Some Muslims believe that Music is prohibited/sinful in Islam. According to Islam: Music that leads to sinful acts such as drugs, sex, violence, etc... is absolutely sinful in Islam. But otherwise, how would it be sinful when Allah Almighty Himself allowed it to Prophet David peace be upon him?

Narrated Abu Musa: "That the Prophet said to him 'O Abu Musa! You have been given one of the musical wind-instruments of the family of David.' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Virtues of the Qur'an, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 568)"

Did Allah Almighty or Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him prohibit music?

There is not a single Noble Verse in the Noble Quran that prohibits music. In fact, music and songs are allowed in the Noble Quran as we saw above. Some Muslims however claim that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did prohibit music. Well, the section below actually proves the otherwise from the Sayings of Prophet Muhammad himself.

Muslims must also remember that when Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him reached the Holy City of Madina from the Holy City of Mecca with his best friend Abu Bakr; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him, the Muslims played music and sang the famous Islamic song "Talaa El-Badru Alayna" which means "The full moon had come upon us."

The music that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him prohibited was the one that the infidels used to play which involved sexual activities by the women. It was part of the pagan Arabs' custom, and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him wanted to prevent Muslims to be anywhere near that type of music, because it was a sinful music; a music that led to sinful activities.

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him allowed music:

Now if music and musical instruments are so bad, why did the Prophet (pbuh) tell Abu Bakr "Let the show go on!"?

The "music prohibition" is yet another instance in which the Salafy have committed bidah by innovating prohibitions NOT FOUND IN THE QURAN!

The "music prohibition" is a fiction, that finds scant support even in the various ahadith collections.

If the Salafys want to abstain from music, they are free to do so. But don't tell the rest of Islam that the "music prohibition" is THE WORD OF ALLAH! It Isn't!

Conclusion:

Music is not prohibited in Islam. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran allowed music and inspired it upon David peace be upon him. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him didn't prohibit music unless it was used for sinful activities. Otherwise, music is allowed. It's been proven by science that music relaxes the mind and helps the person to gain energy and refresh himself. Most production plants in the industrial countries allow their workers to play music while working to helping them gain more energy.

Allah Almighty created music so we can use it in a positive and Islamic way to help us ease some of the burden of life from us. Even animals enjoy good music. In the Middle East, some people have their horses dance beautiful dances on music in many of the rural areas while they're celebrating.

My notes on music and music videos that use foul language and sinful acts:

As I said above, music that leads to sinful acts such as drugs, sex, violence, etc... is absolutely sinful in Islam. But sometimes the song is still very nice in rhythm and yet still contains some bad things in it. Personally, I believe that if the words in the song are ignored and the person only enjoys the music and rhythm of the song and it doesn't cause him to do any of the evil things that I mentioned, then in my opinion (only) that song and music is lawful.

There are plenty of arguments and Hadiths references from the other side as well, which declare music haram. But I believe we shouldn't be going into this debate of music being halal or haram here on SSC. It's very unlikely we're going to stop listening to music either way. However, how music could lead one to sex, violence and drugs is difficult to figure. How could we categorize music by saying that such and such music leads to sex and violence and the others not. So the above arguments posted are very subjective.

KALA PUL - THE BLACK BRIDGE

KALA PUL – THE BLACK BRIDGE, director Saqib Mausoof’s debut feature film, is an exploration of family, regional politics, revenge, and the conflicts inherent in trying to escape one’s past.

It uses the thriller genre as the driving force to provide insight on Karachi; a forgotten megalopolis of fifteen million people in Pakistan, a front line state in the War Against Terror. It unites Mausoof with Salim Iqbal, a veteran Pakistani actor who has been given a new opportunity to probe both the underworld vibes of Karachi and the evolving role of a masculine code of honor called jawanmardi, a set of rules followed by the Muslim gentry; similar to Bushido in Japan.

Saqib Mausoof:” These days the only time we hear of Muslims is in reference to suicide bombers and cowardly acts of terrorism, but jawanmardi is a code of honor which forbids violence against civilians. It is based on the principal of futtuwa, or Islamic chivalry, which was in some parts the genesis of the French Chevalier after their encounters with Muslim commanders during the Crusades.”

Bottling "Lollywood" in Oslo!

Although the controversial film, Botal Gali (BG), officially premiered sometime last year, it has still to make it to Pakistani cinema houses. But that doesn’t stop the film’s script writer, director and main actor Shahzad Nawaz from taking it elsewhere.

BG centers around a street by the same name in Karachi, and takes an unapologetic look at the drinking habits, the effects thereof and the views of individuals in the country’s elite and individuals in the media industry. It was also one of the films featured at the New York Film Festival in 2006.

BG will now be featured somewhere close to home — technically at least — at the Bollywood Film Festival (BFF) being held in Oslo (Norway) in August 2007. Probably the only film-makers being featured at the BFF from Pakistan, Shahzad Nawaz and Humayun Saeed will be flying to Oslo to attend it as well — M.S.
