A Pakistani Punjabi film, starring Saima, Resham and Shaan. A fusillade of machinegun bullets bursts forth as expected, when Baber Kashmiri's action packed thriller, Darinda graces the screen on Eidul Azha. Making his film totally in Karachi, he seemed to be competing with his father, iqbal Kashmiri, who was making his own movie for Eid, called Aatish. So, the prescription, generally, seems to be that the more fire you spit out, the more success will come your way on an Eid. Unfortunately, recent history proves them categorically wrong. The continuous failure of films like Shaan's Daku, Iqbal Kashmiri's Manila Ke Jasoos and Parvez Kaleem's Aakhri Sajda, testifies that the public craves romantic ventures now more than ever. It is evident from the incredible success of Javed Sheikh's Yeh Dil Aap Ka Hua, that a well made, cute movie can do the trick even in this chaotic state of affairs in Lollywood, where crisis looms large. But, yes, the only exception seems to be Syed Noor's out and out action spectacle on the family feuds, called Buddha Gujjar, which did hugely at the box office. In Darinda, may be Baber Kashmiri is relying on this very aspect of the film making that will give him success: lady luck. Just pure lady luck!
[edit] Plot
Saima, Shaan, Momy Rana, Babar Ali and Veena Malik play the lead in this action thriller. In Darinda, Shaan, as usual, is the chief protagonist, while Saima makes people swoon. Having Momy and Shaan come together in any film seems to be the best formula. Most movies with them together, have done well at the box office. On top of it, you have Babar Ali also in confrontation with the other two. Babar is no less of a bankable name than the other too. It seems that this formula will soon fizzle out, considering the sort of rat race that is going on in this context. Veena is fast making her presence felt, largely because of her ability to adjust to the demands of the filmmakers and TV serials alike. In this film, she is looking as glamorous as she looks in real life too. If Veena is able to team the craft of voice manipulation and dialogue delivery, she can well manage to have a grand career in the industry. After Zara Shiekh, she is the current most film sensation in the industry today. She is supposed to be acting in many movies and she will be able to win much more place in the showbiz news once she gets leading roles.
