\"Zinda<\/p>\n

A story of three friends; Khaldi, Taambi and Chitta, who come from the middle-lower class of the society and are striving to flee or rather \u201cskip\u201d to Europe. To accomplish this they find out possible ways to fulfill their dreams and make their families proud of them. The film holds immense attraction within due to the Legendary Actor Naseeruddin Shah<\/a> starring in it. The way a figure narrates a story and makes everyone understands his intentions is well-performed by Naseeruddin who speaks Punjabi throughout the movie. Amna Ilyas<\/a> stars in the female lead cast and holds a relatively short but strong character as Rubina.<\/p>\n

Directed by a Karachi-UK film-making graduate; Meenu Ghaur, and Farjad Nabi and produced by Mazhar Zaidi, Zinda Bhaag<\/a> is 2013\u2019s next Pakistani flick in the line of \u201cGood\u201d movies to hit the silver screens tonight. With a subtle comedy boost to the Urdu-Punjabi language movie, Farjad has given his best to write all that depicts the culture of such families.<\/p>\n

\"Zinda\u201cNaseeruddin Shah was too enthusiastic when he was told of the character and the plot,\u201d Farjad reveals. The film is a reasonably good attempt to uplift the sinking ship of Lollywood with music composed by Sahir Ali Bagga whose name is his own intro.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Sahir contacted Rahat Fateh Ali Khan<\/a> over the phone and narrated to him the concept behind the Qawali Pata Yaar Da, Rahat became too excited and immediately extended his pleasure and services for Zinda Bhaag,\u201d Nabi adds. Stardom envelope unwinds with big names like Sahir Ali Bagga, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Abrar ul Haq<\/a>; who sings the remix of the yesteryears\u2019 Legendary Yaqoob Bulbula<\/a>\u2019s Pani Da Bulbula<\/a>, Amanat Ali<\/a>, Iqra Ali, Saleema and Jabar. Arif Lohar<\/a> has sung the melodious Paar Channah<\/a> with a \u201cdifferent sound\u201c<\/em> as Nabi calls it. Sahir wanted him to sing in a \u201cbase\u201d<\/em> tone. The film also numbers a Bhangra sung and composed by Bagga himself. The flavor of music is a treat though we may miss a romantic luvvy-duvvy duo in it.<\/p>\n

\"ZindaThe Premiere took place on Wednesday in Pakistan\u2019s metropolitan; Karachi and in the cultural hub; Lahore on Thursday evening. Attracting a crowd of more than a four-figure-digit, many known famous from Pakistani showbiz attended the red carpet and the exclusive screening including Zeba Bakhtiar<\/a>, Samina Peerzada<\/a>, Yusaf Bashir, Behroz Sabzwari<\/a>, Faisal Qureshi<\/a>, Nabeel, Junaid Khan<\/a>, Amina Sheikh<\/a>, Azfar, Nadia Jamil<\/a>, Sarmad Khoosat<\/a>, Noor-ul-Hassan, Aisha Khan<\/a>, Sajal Ali<\/a>, Momal Sheikh, Ainy Jaffri<\/a>, Samiya Mumtaz and Sarmad Sehbayi along with many others. Sahir Ali Bagga, Yaqoob Atif Bulbula, Arif Lohar and Amanat Ali also graced the premiere in Lahore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had interviewed a huge number of people to finalize these three characters. Naseeruddin Shah had conducted a 6-day workshop to familiarize them with films and acting,\u201d Farjad tells. Additionally the co-director and writer continued and said that the actors were informally made to rehearse for their shots be it by talking to each other, by conversing with people around, traveling on buses or even to the downtown which helped them understand the native language and speaking culture of their culture.<\/p>\n

Naseeruddin Shah is already \u201cbetter than the best\u201d in his character. \u201cTo everyone\u2019s surprise, the three debut actors worked so hard that not only their own but they would even remember each other\u2019s dialogues and the crew spoke so high of them by saying that meanwhile we shoot for a sh#t, the actors could finish an entire scene,\u201d Nabi burst into laughter.<\/p>\n

Zinda Bhaag is also considered to be nominated<\/a> for Oscars<\/a> this year. Who knows, if this gets through, it may become Pakistan\u2019s Oscars Nomination after more or less 50 years in the \u201cForeign Language\u201d category.<\/p>\n

We wish the cast and the crew all the best for their efforts. A treat to watch in cinemas from today, Zinda Bhaag is a Must-Watch and in case if you are someone who really understands Punjabi, the Punjabi and Lahori culture will definitely punch giggle on your face every now and then.<\/p>\n
