Pakistani Lollywood Movie " Love Mein Ghum " Title Song by Ali Zafar, feature 40 Pakistani Celebrities In First Pakistani Cenima Movie

The title song of the movie is sung by Ali Zafar and it features (actually gathers) all the famous and known faces of Lollywood and Pakistani Showbiz.
The Wardrobe for this music video is done by Nomi Ansari, who also features in the song. Whereas the video is directed by Saqib Malik, with Adnan Malik as Assistant.
The movie ‘Love Mein Ghum’ is sponsored by LUX – a renowned beauty soap – and the movie is slated to release on this EID.
Watch out the promotional song of Love Mein Ghum, which seems very much a redo of Bollywood Movie Om Shanti Om’s promotional song:

Love Main Ghum Pakistani Movie By Reema Khan The Lollywood Actress


The cinema of Pakistan, which we all call by the name of Lollywood; after going through a deteriorating phase, is trying hard day in and day out to survive and somehow revive the film industry.
Earlier this year, Shoaib Mansoor’s directorial venture Bol, which starred Atif Aslam in it, paved the way – after delivering a hit film – for Reema Khan’s Love Mein Ghum.
The official soundtrack for the movie Love Mein Ghum is finally out which carries compositions from several artists, locally and internationally; M. Arshad, Najat Ali, Waqar Ali, Hunterz (UK), and Ravi Bal (UK).
Not only that, it comprises names such as Ali Zafar, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Kailash Kher, Shreya Goshal, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shaan in the vocals department – which only adds up into the overall expectations of the album.

THE MUSIC

Kailash Kher and Shazia Manzoor – Sohniye Yaadan

Even though I’ve not been a fan of Shazia’s work, I felt like loving this one; this particular Punjabi duet has beautiful and strong vocals from her along with her Indian-counterpart Kailash Kher, who has a reputation of delivering hits when it comes to the music. Ravi Bal, the composer, needs a pat on his back for giving us a delicious taste of music with a perfect, melodious, and a must-listen song to start with.

Abrar-ul-Haq and Ravi Bal – Sohniye Heeriye

Ravi Bal comes up with a new job this time, which is signing, along with the King of Bhangra Abrar-ul-Haq for a foot-tapping number called Sohniye Heeriye. All in all, the song starts up sharply enough to catch-up the listener but doesn’t really hold on throughout, in terms of arrangements and composition; it could’ve been a better track with a better length as well.

Sunidhi Chauhan and Hunterz – Ilah Ilah

Ilah Ilah is a near-perfect song with a catchy beat; the composer Hunterz has done a marvelous job in pulling off a good number which has the vocals of the talented Sunidhi Chauhan in it as well. But still, one would wonder why in the blue hell I said that is a ‘near-perfect’ song and not perfect all-alone itself. Well, first and foremost, the rapping part kills the song and secondly, I will never understand the greediness of our film-makers who will become so sophisticated about the hip-hop/raps that they would want to include them in their songs, not even caring if it’s put forcibly or not. The example of this greediness can be found in the song Dil Janiya of Bol which was sung by Hadiqa Kiyani.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan – Haal Da Mehram

It seems like, now a days, nothing is complete without having a Rahat Fateh Ali Khan-trademarked-style song. Composed by the M. Arshad of Pakistan, the song, especially the musical arrangements, and its plain tune, are pretty much a run-of-the-mill stuff. However, the vocals of the legendary maestro RFAK are spot-on.

Shaan – Jaadu Bhari

We’re living in a modernized age – in which, we listen to the electronic stuff so frequently, but this romantic number Jaadu Bhari relies heavily on the old-style music of Lollywood, and even Bollywood. The composer M. Arshad does nothing special here and comes up with another run-of-the-mill song, which isn’t even worth listening to for the second time.

Shreya Goshal – Meri Ankhon Mein

Bingo! It’s the third time M. Arshad doesn’t cease to amaze me with his boring composition. Lyrically, this song resembles a lot with the two – flirty hit numbers of Bollywood; a) Bheege Hont Tere of Murder; b) Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai of Jism. The sweet sound of Shreya Goshal is something to cheer up for though.

Shreya Goshal – Kitni Haseen Hai Zindagi

Kitni Haseen Hai Zindagi is a long composition, finalized by Najat Ali, having the much-praising vocals of Shreya Goshal. Overall, this song could’ve been better in terms of everything; from lyrics to composition to its tune.

Ali Zafar – Love Mein Ghum

Love Mein Ghum is the title, as well as the final, song of the film’s official soundtrack. Waqar Ali, the composer, collaborates with Ali Zafar, the singer. It’s a dance number, which I guess will be used for the commercial purpose of the film. Composing-wise, this one’s a better song than Najat Ali’s and M. Arshad’s. And there’s another plus for it, which is the unique vocals of the Pakistani sensation, Ali Zafar.
OVERALL
Reema Khan’s second directorial project Love Mein Ghum is all set to hit the cinemas across Pakistan on this Eid and the soundtrack of the movie sounds promising. As far as the composers matter; Ravi Bal, Hunterz, Waqar Ali, and M. Arshad (for the Haal Da Mehram only) have provided decent songs.
And in a nutshell the music of Love Mein Ghum is more than average. The film’s music is definitely worth buying for.
OUR PICK(S):
“Sohniye Yaadan”, “Ilah Ilah”, “Haal Da Mehram”, “Love Mein Ghum”

Salman Khan’s ‘Bodyguard’ Movie Is Super Hit And Record Opening 100 Million

The festival of Eid has once again proved to be lucky for Bollywood superstar Salman Khan whose new release “Bodyguard” has earned a record Rs.22 crore net as first day collections — surpassing blockbusters “Dabangg” and “3 Idiots”.
The action-packed drama, in which Salman has teamed up with Kareena Kapoor, was released on Eid-ul-Fitr Wednesday. His “Wanted” and “Dabangg” too released on Eid in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
“Bodyguard” has not only surpassed first day collections of “Singham” (Rs.9.1 crore), “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” (Rs.8.15 crore), “Delhi Belly” (Rs.7.15 crore), “Ready” (Rs.13.5 crore) and “Dum Maaro Dum” (Rs. 6.2 crore), it has also overtaken the box office earnings of “Dabangg” and “3 Idiots”, which collected Rs 14.5 crore and Rs.13 crore, respectively, on the first day.
“The response to the film has been amazing. We had estimated the collection to be Rs.20 crore on the first day and it went on to be Rs 21.5-22 crore net, which are phenomenal figures for the first day,” Priti Shahani, chief strategy and marketing officer, Reliance Entertainment, told IANS.
“Salman, no doubt, is the biggest driving factor as he has a huge fan following. A good release date is extremely crucial on the theatrical side and Salman and Eid are indeed a lethal combo,” she added.
Made at an approximate budget of Rs.60 crore, the film released in India with 2,600 prints and 325 prints overseas. Shahani said they haven’t yet got the figures for overseas collection.
A Hindi-remake of the Malayalam film of the same name, “Bodyguard” has been directed by Siddique and co-produced by Salman’s brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Reliance Entertainment.
Shahani predicts that the film will cross the Rs.100-crore mark in the very first week.
“Looking at the unprecedented response to the film, ‘Bodyguard’ is likely to cross the Rs.100-crore mark in its first week,” she said.
With an extended weekend, multiplex owners are hoping to make good business.
“The opening has been nice, the occupancy has gone up to 80 percent. People are liking the film. We are hoping for a good weekend and expect the occupancy to go up to 100 percent,” said Munish, managing director (marketing) of Satyam Cineplex.
Yogesh Raizada, of Waves Cinemas calls the film a treat for Salman fans.
“It’s a complete Salman Khan with lots of action and some comedy. People are enjoying the film. On the first day, the occupancy was around 80 to 90 percent in the suburbs and in the NCR region. We hope an equally good response over the weekend,” he said.




I wasn’t uncomfortable with bold scenes – Vidya Balan

She is at her boldest ever in “The Dirty Picture”, but actress Vidya Balan says she never felt a sense of discomfort shooting for the movie as she was in the “trusted hands” of director Milan Luthria.
“I have never enjoyed being a woman more than I did while shooting for ‘The Dirty Picture’. I wasn’t uncomfortable doing bold scenes because I knew I was in trusted hands,” Vidya told reporters here Tuesday.
The actress, who reprises late southern siren Silk Smitha’s rise and fall as a glamourous star in the film, spoke at the theatrical launch of the film.
The movie also features Tusshar Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi and Naseeruddin Shah.
“I have worked with Naseer before but this time it was easier…I was less nervous this time,” said Vidya, who had teamed up with the veteran actor in “Ishqiya”.
On working with Bollywood’s serial kisser Emraan, with whom she has locked lips in the film, she said: “I was wondering how it would be with Emraan, but it was fun.”
The trailer promises viewers that Vidya would indeed be seen in a never-seen-before avatar in the film, which is set for release Dec 2.

The 25-year-old Najeeb Baloch, who got kicked out of Kaun Banega Meera Patti for no valid reason, held a press conference on July 12, where he discussed the problems he faced on the reality show.
Dressed in red topi and off-white shalwar kameez, Najeeb Baloch claimed to be the only participant, who sincerely loved Meera and wanted to marry her. However, he was treated badly on the show, despite being an educated contestant.
Najeeb also realized the interest Meera showed in him as according to him he could “see it in her eyes”
But the things took a U-turn for Najeeb when he was voted as the most sincere and genuine contestant by other contestants as it made producer against him.
Baloch said that the producer told him that the show would be a bigger hit if Baloch was made out to be a thief and forced out of the show, but Baloch said he refused to do this because “I am representing the people of Balochistan and cannot do this to them”.
“The producer got very angry and said ‘You’re an ordinary actor, not Amitabh Bachchan’, and began abusing me. He said he would have me kicked off and I should just leave on my own so that I can later get employment with the network.”
Baloch ended the conference with these words, “I would like to reinforce that I love Meera and I want to marry her. All the other contestants left the show when they were eliminated; but I was kicked off for other reasons.”
