Whenever one assesses the innumerable causes of the 'lost glory of the once thriving film industry' in Pakistan, it becomes hard to count. It has truly been a downward spiral - Lollywood goes round and round, even as it goes down and down, plummeting to the depths of inertia, and yet we hope against hope. One's eyes are fixed on every new film these days that might, just might, be the magic wand that will wave and carry on the revival of Lollywood from where Khuda Kay Liye left off.

Indian films have now secured their place in Pakistan and are challenging Lollywood's poor standard of production. There are only a few directors such as Syed Noor, Shahzad Rafique and Shoaib Mansoor who have helped shake up the dying industry. After Khuda Kay Liye, Majajan and Mohabbataan Sachiyaan there hasn't really been any flick that we could take pride in.

This Eid four Pakistani films were released: Suhagan, Ishq Bay Parwah, Gunahon ki Basti and Zill-e-Shah. Zill-e-Shah didn't release simultaneously in Karachi due to unavailability of cinemas. But wherever it did release, it was declared a success. According to reports collected from the film circuit, Zill-e-Shah has won the box office race due to its good subject matter.

Director Imdad Hussain with Lashana and Moamar Rana will make film:

• Chalbaz Haseena

• Jabroo
  is with Saima and Shafqat Cheema in the title role.

Rawalpindi based Lollywood Actress Veena Malik who got fame first from erotic dances in the stage dramas of Lahore and then with her successive scandals with notable personalities of Lahore and then from the GEO TV program "Hum Sub Umeed Say Hien" has once again attracted media limelight as she has done a press conference along with her boy friend Babrak Shah.
