Shehzad Roy and Najam Shiraz win at the Lux Style Awards ’09 leaving veterans Ali Azmat, Strings, Shafqat Amanat Ali and newbies Zeb and Haniya high and dry

Deciphering the numbers

The music winners at Lux Style Awards ’09 indeed came as a surprise. Who would’ve thought that Najam Shiraz would walk away with Song of the Year over Ali Azmat, Shehzad Roy, Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan and Zeb and Haniya? But he did.

In reality, the toughest competition for Najam‘s ‘Khwabon Key Rishtey’ was neither Ali Azmat nor Strings. As it turns out, it was Shehzad Roy’s ‘Laga Reh’. The reason one can state this as fact, more than just an observation is because of the numbers that each category generated. In other words, thefinal result list (by the Lux Style Awards) given to the press validates these claims. Instep Today takes a closer look at the votes…

LSA_Ali-AzmatBest Music Album

As far as music awards go, this is the most prestigious and coveted trophy. And last year saw some incredibly tough albums go up against each other. Ali Azmat returned with Klashinfolk. Leaving behind the sonic effects that were the driving force behind his solo debut record Social Circus, Ali opted for a raw, fierce rock sound that was neither redundant nor monotonous. Klashinfolk really was the second coming of Ali Azmat.

Shaan To Feature Zeb & Haniya, Mekaal Hasan & Mauj in His Film

Earlier in march, we reported about Zeb and Haniya doing music for lollywood. Recently, in an interview with Instep Magazine, Shaan talked about his upcoming project in which we will see him as a producer, directer, actor and writer. Shaan says

I’ve a vision for our film industry, which is that it should break free of its shackles. My films will be an hour-and-half  long which has never been tried in Pakistan. I believe three hours is a limitation we’ve unnecessarily imposed on our cinema. We don’t have the finances to do justice to 10 minutes of film footage, let alone three hours.

Shaan has a vision to bring revolution in the film industry. He will be casting Pakistani mainstream models like Juggun Kazim, Natasha, vinnie and the music will be done by the mainstream musicians like Zeb and Haniya, Omran Shafique of Mauj & Gumby & Mekaal Hasan
