  • Pakistani director thinks horror comedy is Bollywood’s winning formula

    Pakistani director thinks horror comedy is Bollywood’s winning formula

    Director and writer Abu Aleeha believes that the success of a film lies in picking the right genre. He points out that horror comedy, which is gaining huge popularity worldwide, especially in Bollywood, is a winning choice for capturing audiences and hitting box office targets. Abu Aleeha also made a horror comedy film ‘Kataksha’, earning 19.3 million rupees at the box office.

    The conversation started when the CEO of 422 Murad Kazmi asked him for advice in choosing a film genre.

    The Taxali Gate writer said, “I suggested horror comedy, which made him laugh. He teased me, saying I was one of the few who had attempted it, and asked about the outcome. I admitted that either we didn’t execute it well or audiences weren’t ready for cinema post-Covid. However, I emphasized that horror comedy is a globally popular genre that doesn’t require a large cast or elaborate production design.”

    Abu Aleeha continued, saying “With compelling characters, you can captivate audiences for two hours in a single location. The success of Stree 2, which will soon cross 300 crores, and Munjya, which earned over 100 crores two months ago, proves this point.”

    He concluded, “My advice is to create a film that audiences want to see, rather than what’s easily producible.”

    Here is a look at the box office results of some well-known horror-comedies:

    Indian Movies
    Stree – INR 180 crores
    Bhool Bhulaiya- INR 266.88 crore.

    Munjya – 132 crore at the box office.
    Pakistani Films
    Rangreza (2017) – PKR 2 crores.
    Koi Tujh Sa Kahan (2014) – PKR 1 crore.

    The sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Stree’ continues the story of Chanderi town, which is haunted by a fearsome ghost called Sarkata Bhoot. The townspeople seek help from ‘Stree’ to deal with the horror, blending humor and fear in the process.

    The film is inspired by the local legend of Sarkata Bhoot from Lansdowne, Uttarakhand. This headless ghost is said to guard the area, which locals believe helps keep crime rates low.

  • Punjabi boys just want to have fun: Wild Wild Punjab review

    Punjabi boys just want to have fun: Wild Wild Punjab review

    I recently watched ‘Wild Wild Punjab’ on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. The film is  the story of a group of friends who embark on a riotous journey to crash their buddy’s ex-girlfriend’s wedding. Determined to seek closure and declare, “I am over you,” they set off on a mission to Pathankot, fueled by heartbreak and a few drinks.The cast, including Varun Sharma, Sunny Singh, Jassie Gill, and Manjot Singh, deliver impressive performances in this comedy. The film’s writers and directors, Luv Ranjan and Simarpreet Singh, deserve credit for giving new faces a chance to shine in roles that fit their characters perfectly.

    The story is engaging, with the friends navigating their conflicting desires and misadventures, all while maintaining a light-hearted, comedic tone. The music in the film is exciting and enhances the film’s lively atmosphere. The film features upbeat tracks like ‘Meri Baggi Mera Ghoda’ and ‘Husn Irani,’ which add to the energetic vibe.The film’s message about the importance of friendship and adventure is valuable.

    While the friends’ journey is entertaining, it also highlights the significance of embracing life’s chaos and unpredictability.

    This could be a one-time watch film recommendation. ‘Wild Wild Punjab’ is a fun, colorful, and heartwarming film that you can enjoy with family but I will not recommend you to watch with family because of the slang language used in the film.

    One drawback of the film, in my opinion, after the interval was becoming drag there were some extra scenes.The film can be a little short instead of dragging it.

    According to Zaheer Iqbal, “During those 15 minutes and hearing the sound of the Azaan at the time of Kanyadan, I felt as if nature intended it that way. It was the most beautiful moment of the wedding for me.”

    Indian actress Dolly Singh’s bold Independence Day video gets support from Hania Aamir

    Famous actress Hania Aamir is receiving high praise from Indian social media users.


    Hania recently uploaded a video by renowned Indian content creator and actress Dolly Singh on her instagram account.


    In the caption, the Pakistani star praised the Indian actor for her powerful message.


    Dolly Singh, known for humorous content on social media, addressed women’s protection in her video.


    Singh expressed anger on the gang rape of a 31-year-old female doctor in the Indian state of Kolkata.


    “Women are given a lot of advice to take care of themselves,” began Dolly before emphasizing that when a woman or girl is mistreated, the blame often falls on the victim.


    At the end of the video, a visibly emotional Dolly remarked that no matter how much a woman takes care of herself, something still happens to her in the end.


    On India’s 78th Independence Day, Singh deliberately congratulated only men for their freedom, saying, “Only men are free in our country; women have not been freed yet.”


    After Hania Aamir shared the video on her account, Indian online users have praised her and questioned the silence of their own actresses.
    Viewers have remarked that, in this case, Hania Aamir has spoken up for women’s rights and praised Dolly Singh’s message, while their own actresses keep silent.
