Summer cinema excitement in full swing
Lahore and the rest of Pakistan gets to watch ‘Kismat Konnection’ in theatres from July 18. This Shahid Kapoor & Vidya Balan starrer is the second major Bollywood flick to release simultaniously in India and Pakistan following Priyanka Chopra & Harman Baweja’s largely unimpressive ‘Love Story 2050’. Both movies are a vivid sign of the boundaries between Bollywood & Lollywood thining as the former makes full intrusion into Pakistan’s film entertainment scene.

And as if this was not all enough, for the more Westernized lot, Angelina Jolie’s ‘Wanted’ screens on July 25 while ‘Kung Fu Panda’ is already evoking rounds of laughter at the main screens.
Add to that Javed Sheikh’s long awaited venture ‘Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay’ for which enough pre-release buzz was created so much so that the movie even has a fully dedicated blog. The movie itself was a decent effort according to the audiences.

Finally, jewel of the year will be Mehreen Jabbar’s much inspiring ‘Ramchand Pakistani’ as it hits cinemas on August 1, 2008.
So, what are you up to this summer!

At least choose an appropriate name for your film Industry. Calling it Lollywood is really sound ridiculous. Instead of copying every funny thing from India take a look at your south western border, those guys can teach you how to live with respect and how to be original.
I should have written "Lollywood sounds ridiculous" in my above post.
kung fu panda is the best flick this season on cinema, and i think ramchand pakistani is going to break the ice again, after khuda kay liyee….and more young talent will join in to boast pakistani cinema.
