Talk:Cinema of Pakistan/Archives/2012

One File

I am no expert on the topic but I think there is too much information about a single film in the article and possibly slight POV. Can somebody in the know please edit it? --Webkami 15:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Recently Mehreen Jabbar, one of Pakistan’s outstanding young directors who has directed and produced a large number of highly acclaimed, award-winning TV serials and plays including New York Stories, Pehchaan, Kahaniyaan and Putli Ghar, completed the filming phase of her first directorial venture into big-screen cinema, it is called Ramchand Pakistani. The film is in Urdu, with a Hindi version, but for international audiences it will be sub-titled in English and other foreign languages Nandita plays Champa, a Pakistani Hindu woman who is left desolate when her young son and husband disappear one day from their village at the Pakistan-India border near Nagarparkar, in Tharparkar. Nandita Das is the only Indian, or for that matter, non-Pakistani actor in the large cast comprising well-known Pakistani TV and stage personalities including Rashid Farooqi, Noman Aijaz, Maria Wasti, Zhalay Sarhadi, Syed Fazal Ahmed, (who plays the title role) Farooq Pario, Shahood Alvi, Salim Mairaj, Tipu and Navaid Jabbar (no relation to the producer or director). Films like these comprise the [[New Wave Pakistani Cinema]] and are expected to give the Lollywood industry a reach to a wider audience and more worldwide international recognition.

Random

The picture displayed as 'one of the old cinemas' still running is not actually of a Cinema at all. Its a Mall in the Karachi area. I think it should be removed The comment was made by 202.147.160.246

The criticms reflect only a single person's personal viewpoint and therefore should not be part of this article which encapsulates the general information about Lollywood.

• I agree - permission to remove it? AussieWiki2006 08:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The following paragraph is definately rubbish - this movie ranks a 2.2 on the IMDB, how can anyone call that an internationally acclaimed super hit?

"International Gorillay, released in 1990, was a religion formula film, portraying Salman Rushdie as a bloodthirsty maniac destined for a horrible end. (...) It was a super hit film ,internationally acclaimed,very well produced and stylishly directed.The Subject was very difficult based on Salman Rushdi ,the writer of sytanic verses."

You don't have to be a movie critic to spot the inconsistencies. Anyway there is no reference at all to the taliban regime - surely they banned most if not all films? (SpinyNorman)

Merge

Punjwood would seem to make sense being redirected to Cinema of Pakistan. Both articles have large swaths of information that should be merged together by somebody with some passing familiarity to the material. Also a consideration is that most of this is unreferened. -- Whpq 15:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

DONT MERGE

This is a silly suggestion to merge Punjwood with Cinema of Pakistan, as Punjwood relates to the Punjabi language Indian movies and Cinema of Pakistan offers details and history of Pakistani cinema. Pakistani movies are mostly in Urdu language, but Punjabi, Pashtu, Sindhi, and Baluchi films are also made there. There is no common ground between these two except for being film based. It is like saying that Sputnik pages be merged with the pages of USA (only because Sputnik is a space vehicle and USA is the leader in space activities). Rediculous.Jabir99 00:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Very well. The merge proposal is withdrawn. -- Whpq 13:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Moving information?

It strikes me that the 'Issues' section of this page should probably be segued into the relevant parts of the 'History' section. A separate section isn't needed , and some of the information presented is redundant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.170.126.122 (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

The history section

I was wondering if there is any point in having anything in the history section which occurred prior to 1947. Since there was no Pakistan before 1947, the argument that the Pakistani cinema existed is flawed. Technically, the information presented in the article comes under the scope of Indian cinema. There is some really good information there so I think that it could be used to enhance the Indian cinema article if need be. There should be a small section which relates the origins of the cinema to the Indian cinema. I am just wondering if this is something we can do to make the article more to the point. SholeemGriffin (talk) 15:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

It become relevant as both nations had the same history. And the article clearly links to the Cinema of India article. The article on the Pakistani counterpart largely is a summary of the content present on the parent page. If you check the Indian article, it has more information than this. I just took some points and briefly discussed them here. Anyway, neither modern India nor Pakistan was born back then; it was all British India. Arun Reginald (talk · contribs) 16:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

It was just an idea. I was wondering what people think about it. SholeemGriffin (talk) 16:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Cinema of Pakistan/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This article has multiple problems in terms of the good article criteria, not the least of which is the number of relatively long-standing requests for citations. I count seven, which gave me pause for thought as to whether this article should be summarily failed. Once I see those requests satisfied with reliable sources I will look at the article in more detail. I can say now though that it also needs a great deal more work to meet the GA prose requirement. The article is now on hold for seven days, pending reliable sources being found. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• As these issues remain outstanding, this article has not been listed as a GA on this occasion. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 22:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Addition by user Minar-e-pakistan

This addition by the user has issues, there are no RS, seems to be a POV and it has original research. The user doesn't seem to understand any policy of wikipedia. --sarvajna (talk) 16:19, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
