    Pakistani cinemas struggle as ‘Jatt & Juliet 3’ takes over

    Pakistan’s film industry is struggling as many movies with weak stories are not doing well at the box office. Even star-studded releases like Umro Ayar and Abhi this Eid Ul Azha haven’t stopped the decline in cinema attendance. Recently, the Indian Punjabi film Jatt & Juliet 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, has become hugely popular among fans. Pakistani actors also part of the film that include Nasir Chinnioti and Akram Udas.


    The film released on June 27, has already earned a remarkable Rs. 5.1 crore at the box office within just four days. The movie’s success can be attributed to its previous two seasons’ popularity, as well as the massive fan following of lead actors Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa in Pakistan.

    In contrast, Pakistani films are being taken down by cinema owners due to low ticket sales. According to infotainment journalist Moeen Zubair, the buying ratio of Pakistani tickets has decreased significantly, with audiences preferring the Indian Punjabi film instead. ‘Jatt & Juliet 3’ has gone from having just three shows daily to nine shows, leaving local films in the behind.
    The success of ‘Jatt & Juliet 3’ has proven that Punjabi films still have a massive fan following in Pakistan.

  • Mathira’s struggles: How society judges single mothers

    Mathira’s struggles: How society judges single mothers

    In a recent interview with Samaa, television host Mathira talked about her difficulties as a single parent after her 2018 divorce, sharing details of how her children have been her biggest source of strength.


    Mathira said that her three sons have been her main support, and she had to take on both roles of a mother and father while raising them. “When the father is no longer around, the mother has to take on his role. It’s not a woman’s job to be a man, but when she does, she becomes stronger than a man,” she said.


    The host pointed out unfairness in society, noting differences in how single mothers and fathers are treated. “When a single mother does something, people wonder who helped her instead of praising her. When a man does something good, we appreciate him, but when a woman runs a household, she faces many accusations,” Mathira lamented. She added that it gets very tough, and then she can’t be a good mother or take on the role of a father.

    The television star spoke about the severe depression she went through after her third pregnancy, a struggle that society mostly ignores, sometimes shames and dismisses as unimportant. “I think now people are learning that depression, including postpartum depression and hormonal changes, is real,” she noted, stressing the need for better understanding of mental health issues.

  • Girls prefer wealth over love: Agha Ali

    Girls prefer wealth over love: Agha Ali

    Rejoice ladies, Agha Ali understands us better than we do ourselves. The actor recently came up with the gem that women prioritize wealth and luxury over love and loyalty.

    Aren’t we lucky that he understands us so thoroughly?

    In a recent TV appearance, Agha Ali reflected on past mistakes, admitting to saying things in interviews that he shouldn’t have and leaving out important details.
    “I’ve learned from my mistakes and am working on rebuilding myself after feeling broken,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to honesty in interviews, aiming to show his true self to the public.
    And then he did, with the misogynistic comments about women.

    Addressing rumors about his character, he clarified, “I’m not a playboy anymore.”
    Speaking on modern relationships, Ali remarked that many women today prioritize financial security and a luxurious lifestyle over love and loyalty.
    “Money can get you anything in this world, even a partner,” he observed.
    Ali’s advice to men was straightforward: “First, earn money, buy a house and a car, then think about love and relationships.”

    On a serious note, while his advice to men about being financially secure is pertinent, the rest of his comments about women are quite problematic.

    In a society dominated by men, it is not a bad thing for women to think about their financial future neither should they be shamed for doing so.

    The co-host asked, “Can you tell us why you don’t get along with Shaan and why you both avoid working together in films?”

     Moammar Rana said, “I respect Shaan as my senior, but I think he’s the one who should explain our differences. We were both action heroes, just like Shatrugan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan. Shaan was the action king, always doing daring stunts, while I focused on acting. It’s like the difference between Shatrugan Sinha’s action-oriented approach and Amitabh Bachchan’s focus on acting.”

    Both superstars have worked together in several films including ‘Guns and Roses’, ‘Ik Junoon’, and ‘Chupan Chupai.’ Moammar is known for romantic roles in numerous hit films like ‘Kuriyon Ko Daalay Daana,’ ‘Chooriyian,’ and ‘Jhoomar.’
