Yes, believe it!

We surely are seeing more frequent appearances of women, from Pakistan, into modeling and fashion industry now. Although the opportunities in Pakistan still are a far cry from being anywhere realistic when it comes to the fashion and modeling industry, yet we have our share of first movers too. And they had to move all the way to Canada this time. Case in point Nida Shaheen 21 from Islamabad, who will be competing for the Miss Bikini Universe pageant. This year the organizers are crossing their fingers for a win, if not a title to bring back for Pakistan. To date Pakistan has achieved 5 international titles and is aiming for more

Amidst the glamour and entertainment, Nida is not new to the modeling and beauty peagent industry and has been recipient of other awards. She was the also the Runner up Miss Pakistan World 2007 title. She didn’t stop at that and went away to bag Miss Photogenic award too.

Well finally more representation from Islamabad and Pakistan on the not so famous international front. More details can be found here

If you have a flair for acting, do try this opportunity.

Who knows you might end up there on stage?

Ever since the news of Khuda Kay Liyay’s completion and release in 3rd week of July came out, I’m all puffed up to grab it and see. Being a lover of the ShoMan Shoaib Mansoor’s works, I possess a definite liking whether it is An Kahii, Fifty Fifty, Gulls n’ Guys, songs, JJ’s songs, or Alpha Bravo Charlie … (I used to watch all three telecasts of the drama every week :-)). So, the movie is for sure spreading a HYPED UP anxiousness en masse in Pakistan.

Audio of the movie was released earlier this month … a complete sold out the first day… and don’t ask how I got my hands on the music (without spending a single penny ;-))

The movie is finally UP and RELEASED en masse in Pakistan today …!

And Islamabad is sans any cinemas … can you imagine … the plight of entertainment seekers and lovers in the capital won’t be able to see the film on big screen … we’ll have to wait for DVD’s *sigh* …!

Shaan looks classy, Fawad Khan (of EP) just a blast and Iman Ali simply ravishing … Naseer ud Din Shah’s appearing on Pakistan Silver Screen for the first time …!

But the film arouse many objections on the story line and image of Islam being presented in lately … making the film CONTROVERSIAL … with people even demanding a ban.

i think what ever is going on in islamabad now a days one should definitely take a break and have some nice time watching BOMBAY DREAMS.
A stage drama directed by Shah Sharabeel, Music by A.R .Rehman.The two hour long theatrical experience will be staged at Islamabad club from 5 till April 22.
tickets are available at the islamabad club, Illusions Jinnah Super Market, Illusions Super Market, Pappasallis and One Potato Two Potato.

I personally like most of the things hot, except cold salad, cold drinks and subway sandwiches.

If you are amongst the some people who like it hot, you might get entertained in the following days at Islamabad Club!!!

Which movie are you going to watch? “Auj da badmash”, “bichoo”, “badnaam haseena”, “zakhmi aurat” or Europe ke badnaam nurse. I wonder how our film directors and writers find such names for their movies. Have you ever had an experience to watch Pakistani film in cinema? How was your over all experience?

There are seven cinemas in Rawalpindi, but none in Islamabad. There was one in Abpara but that was put on fire by the mullahs of Lal Masjid.

A new recreational spot is being made near Rawal lake by march 23.

85% of the work has been done. The rest of it would be completed before the set date. There would be six decks for boating so that maximum number of people can be facilitated. There would also be inclusion of water sports.
Cost of the promenade is Rs.110 million and the main features include: a picnic area, jogging track, pony/camel ride, a resturant, fast-food kiosks, wooden deck, pergolas, sit-out areas, sandy beach, kids play area and an amphitheatre.

The management and maintenance of the promenade would be done by private firm.

On tuesday and wednesday, a conference was held in Islamabad in connection with Revival of Film Industry in Pakistan.

People involved with films, directly or indirectly, flew over to the capital to revive at least the conference, if not the film industry including few MADAMS and few Sirr jiiis.

These are the posters of some hit films on display at the venue of the conference reminding the film buffs of the golden period of the Lollywood that’s largely in shambles.

I’d suggest to please at least make some film with proper STORY LINE … not few dishums , gandaasas, silly jokes, vulgar dresses, tree swirlings, cheap songs and what not.

And why not try a film without any hero heroine concept??

Untill the gandaasas rule and names like bholla gujar, gujar badmmash, gund’da gujar with shaan and moamar rana in artificial silly moustaches are coming – I can see no REVIVAL … and not to forget Saima as 16 yr old innocent femme … LOLZ … me out for laughing – you wait for revival!
