[edit] One File

I am no expert on the topic but I think there is too much information about a single film in the article and possibly slight POV. Can somebody in the know please edit it? --Webkami 15:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Recently Mehreen Jabbar, one of Pakistan’s outstanding young directors who has directed and produced a large number of highly acclaimed, award-winning TV serials and plays including New York Stories, Pehchaan, Kahaniyaan and Putli Ghar, completed the filming phase of her first directorial venture into big-screen cinema, it is called Ramchand Pakistani. The film is in Urdu, with a Hindi version, but for international audiences it will be sub-titled in English and other foreign languages Nandita plays Champa, a Pakistani Hindu woman who is left desolate when her young son and husband disappear one day from their village at the Pakistan-India border near Nagarparkar, in Tharparkar. Nandita Das is the only Indian, or for that matter, non-Pakistani actor in the large cast comprising well-known Pakistani TV and stage personalities including Rashid Farooqi, Noman Aijaz, Maria Wasti, Zhalay Sarhadi, Syed Fazal Ahmed, (who plays the title role) Farooq Pario, Shahood Alvi, Salim Mairaj, Tipu and Navaid Jabbar (no relation to the producer or director). Films like these comprise the [[New Wave Pakistani Cinema]] and are expected to give the Lollywood industry a reach to a wider audience and more worldwide international recognition.

[edit] Random

The picture displayed as 'one of the old cinemas' still running is not actually of a Cinema at all. Its a Mall in the Karachi area. I think it should be removed The comment was made by 202.147.160.246

The criticms reflect only a single person's personal viewpoint and therefore should not be part of this article which encapsulates the general information about Lollywood.

• I agree - permission to remove it? AussieWiki2006 08:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The following paragraph is definately rubbish - this movie ranks a 2.2 on the IMDB, how can anyone call that an internationally acclaimed super hit?

"International Gorillay, released in 1990, was a religion formula film, portraying Salman Rushdie as a bloodthirsty maniac destined for a horrible end. (...) It was a super hit film ,internationally acclaimed,very well produced and stylishly directed.The Subject was very difficult based on Salman Rushdi ,the writer of sytanic verses."

You don't have to be a movie critic to spot the inconsistencies. Anyway there is no reference at all to the taliban regime - surely they banned most if not all films? (SpinyNorman)

[edit] Merge

Punjwood would seem to make sense being redirected to Cinema of Pakistan. Both articles have large swaths of information that should be merged together by somebody with some passing familiarity to the material. Also a consideration is that most of this is unreferened. -- Whpq 15:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DONT MERGE

This is a silly suggestion to merge Punjwood with Cinema of Pakistan, as Punjwood relates to the Punjabi language Indian movies and Cinema of Pakistan offers details and history of Pakistani cinema. Pakistani movies are mostly in Urdu language, but Punjabi, Pashtu, Sindhi, and Baluchi films are also made there. There is no common ground between these two except for being film based. It is like saying that Sputnik pages be merged with the pages of USA (only because Sputnik is a space vehicle and USA is the leader in space activities). Rediculous.Jabir99 00:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Very well. The merge proposal is withdrawn. -- Whpq 13:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Use my talk page for further info.--Mike robert (talk) 15:01, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm strongly agreed that this article should be re-written by someone with extreme cool temperament,as it's the need of the article. --Mike robert (talk) 09:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Teri Yaad film.jpg

Image:Teri Yaad film.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Moving information?

It strikes me that the 'Issues' section of this page should probably be segued into the relevant parts of the 'History' section. A separate section isn't needed , and some of the information presented is redundant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.170.126.122 (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
