Khuda ke Liye


People, as you know our cinema industry is on a downfall these days and we can only find movies with titles that include "jatt","gujjar"and etc.In this situation all of a sudden, different big movie makers like Javed Shiekh, Samina Peerzada and others like Reema(Film actress) have made some good big budget movies for the revival of Cinema.In this Hype about 2 years ago we heard that Shoaib Mansoor is going to make a movie.Shoaib Mansoor as we all know is a perfectionist.What ever work he does he does it to perfection.Master pieces like "Unkahi" and "Alpha Bravo Charlie" are proofs of his excellence.Now finally after 2 years he has released his movie named"Khuda ke Liye" and this movie has overpassed all efforts for the revival of cinema and actually attaracted public to cinemas as house full boards are hanging outside cinemas.I was very excited when this movie was released.So yesterday I went to DHA Cinema in Lahore Defense and bought a ticket for the 9-12 show.this is a newly opened cinema and people if you are in Lahore then this is the Cinema to watch this movie.The environment is great,facilities are great and airconditioning is unbearable sometimes.Seats are comfortable with head rest and a cup holder.You can buy popcorns and other snacks from the cafeteria.Now about the movie,this movie has touched sensitive issues of our society about which we dont like to discuss openly.This movie maybe the first movie ever made in Pakistan that has made people to think and open their minds.Unlike other majority romantic movies of Lollywood this movie actually has not only romance in it but also other things like a good story,an objective,good music,and most importantly a good moral that is actually making people think about the issues.Issues like music, is it allowed or not allowed in Islam, issues like western clothing, issues like marriage into other religions,issues like women rights in Pakistan and issues like the problems of Muslims In western countries rising after 9/11.The term "khuda ke Liye" is basically a scream by our society to some extremist MAULANAS of our society, who are using islam for their own purposes.How they brainwash our youth into doing things that are totally unislamic.Then this movies shows us some liberalal, moderate Maulanas who have their own point of view and how our youth is strangled and confused between all this.
