Ba Jamat Astaghfaar !

Ramazan is a sacred month for 1.5 billion human beings on this planet earth. By a mare insignificant glance on '1.5 Billion' can highlight the significance of '1.5 Billion' human bodies. Yes Ramazan is a vehicle to 'Jannat' Arabic word for 'Bahisht' that is Persian of English word Heaven. However, in the nation of 180 million [official version] and unofficially a little more than 190 million Pakistanis with 95% Muslims most intriguing fact is the horsetrading of many television anchors. Although this reminds me of trading football players undergo before Premium league. Still it won't make a difference as all the concerned parties achieve their required goals let it be money or good deeds or Astaghfaar.

Although this Ramazan transmission are about to leave Pakistani Television sets with out leaving any big mark at all, few basic questions that are still unanswered. So today I decided I would highlight those Important questions to ease up the tension between SC and PPPP Government supported by A and A i.e Asma and Aitzaz.

1) Amir Sahab k Geo join karnay se kya koi Nazak Surat e haal paida hoi aur kya is martaba Cut to cut edit se bachao aihtamam o Intazam ho chuka hai?
2) Kya Miss Malik ne poora ramzan kii aap sab k sath ........... Astaghfaar, aur kya Shabbir ne yeh bhi deekha ... woh bhi sirf Hero Tv Per !
3) Why Maya Khan was unable to conduct Iftaar show in local garden of a residential area in Karachi? Was it a technical issue or just company policy?

I know these are very deep questions and really need lots of insight to answer and honestly I don't intend to ask 'Awam' to answer any of these as they are busy with Ramazan transmission itself. However, there is one question and that is Baap of all mysteries and won't be resolved until the end of Ramazan itself. Yes I am saying it, that question is the driving force behind it all and soon by the of Ramazan we will get the answer. But I am identifying it just now.

"In teeno main se film ghalib ka hero banay ga kaun" ?

Film Ghalib aur us ka Hero

'Maula Jutt' is undoubtedly most successful film in the history of Pakistan. It captivated the nation for a little more than two decades and as critics say it beautifully represented the situation of Pakistan for  many years until film 'Ghalib' took the nation by storm at the start of 21st century.  For last 11 years it has been running successfully in the theaters, on television and even on all the social media platforms. Many top guns of Pakistani political scene claim since the departure of Z.A.Bhutto Pakistani Politics is either pro-Bhutto or anti-Bhutto. It is true with only a little problem that cries to be fixed. How many 'Bhuttos', genuine or fake, do actually exist after all ' ... har ghar se Bhutto niklay ga'. Like wise Pakistani media scene, social or commercial, over last one decade is either Pro-Ghalib or Anti-Ghalib. 

A hero, by definition, is a character that develops through the story. Post modern world is certainly a strange world where at times story becomes the hero, as an entity, that develops the most with self-claimed important and unusual incidents. Film 'Ghalib' is no different to the other post-modern phenomenon. It main character changes over time, more like Indian Soap-Operas where a character dies and returns with a last minute entry when his beloved wife/girl friend is about to marry 'The Bad Boy'. Similarly, the world witnessed swift disappearance of the leading character of the film 'Ghalib'. So Sudden and out of the blue was the disappearance that even Dr.Amir Liaqat had to ask 'Film Ghalib ka hero deekha hai aap ne' ? Though the way leading actor played the leading role, one can sum it up in this one poetic verse 'Woh baat saray fasany main jis ka zikar nahi'. We never saw him for so many years and yet he was always around. 

In many respects 'Ghalib' is very similar to Soap-Operas on Star-plus, a horror/Comedy/romantic/adventure and all other possible genres together in one act to cater needs of all those watching.  Since the last sudden departure of Lead-Character, people were missing a lead cast. However, seems like recently some one else has been chosen and selected for performing the main act. Or at least has been offered, urged and sought after, even a bounty of $ 10 M has been announced for the person who can answer this one Million dollar question ' Film Ghalib ka Hero dekha hai Aap ne'.
