Ramchand Pakistani

Another Pakistani movie that claimed to be part of "New wave" in Pakistani Cinema that promises to give new life to dying or already dead local movie making industry. There was much hype created in newspapers and channels about it but the reason was quite clear when I saw their names in sponsors list. "Khuda key liye" was a better attempt in production, storyline, acting and direction, it was a pleasure to view a movie that depicts our society's dilemma so well. No doubt the storyline of "Ramchand Pakistani" was very unique and depicted very realistically . But still it left me with the feeling that more could have been done and the abrupt ending was a big shock. A sudden love interest of mother in another man, was half cooked and failed to portray the lonliness or the desire to share the pain of losing that lead to that relationship. The acting was too good even the child actors were stunning in their roles.
Media and people should encourage such attempts but positive criticism always help in improving quality of work.
