The Pakistani cinema initiated its revival with Shoaib Mansoor’s Khuda Kay Liye, and since then the Pakistani cinema has been slowly sauntering towards grace. The “Why” of it all is not our discussion as of now, but our discussion today is of a brighter future of the Pakistani cinema. There was not a single, meaningful or remotely entertaining film being produced at the time. But, why was it that I never watched any Pakistani movies? Well, because in my childhood, the Pakistani film industry was in shatters. Now, that I think of it, there was not a single cartoon or any Pakistani movies that I watched in my childhood that showcased my culture, my nation, or my socially accepted philosophies.Īs far as I can remember, my childhood is filled with Indian classics, American cartoons, and Japanese anime watched on Toonami. Sadly, things were a little different growing up in Pakistan. Most Americans would have watched The Lion King and other animated gems from Disney. For example, most Indian millennials would have grown up watching Andaz Apna Apna, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and other classics from Bollywood. Most of this cinematic nostalgia lies in national films. And I am certain it is the same for you because it is one of those films that have shaped our childhood. For example, watching Baby’s Day Out ignites a peculiar emotion in me that no other film does. A significant portion of one’s nostalgia lies in films and music.
