Bollywood's ‘Dhadak’ to clash with ‘Teefa in Trouble’ in Pakistan this weekend

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

LAHORE: The Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) has cleared upcoming Bollywood film Dhadak for release here in Pakistan. The Punjab Film Censor Board (PFCB) and Sindh Film Censor Board (SFCB) reviewed it for release on Wednesday to confirm whether or not it would receive a clearance certificate.

However, if Dhadak manages to get the green light, its release will clash with Ali Zafar’s Teefa in Trouble, as they are both slated to hit cinemas on this Friday, July 20.

“This weekend will probably be one of the busier ones due to the release of two new films. We are expecting both Teefa in Trouble and Dhadak to receive a great response from the public,” an official of the Distribution Club told The Express Tribune. “Sridevi’s death earlier this year may encourage the public to watch Dhadak. However, we also have faith in our local films. I believe both Teefa in Trouble and Dhadak will overshadow Sanju, even though Sanju is still playing in cinemas and providing great revenue.”

Sources revealed that CBFC issued its certificate after a thorough review during a board meeting held at its office and attended by all of its members. They then jointly issued a Universal rating certificate without making any cuts.

According to a PFCB official, members were invited for a full board meeting which was to be held on July 17. It is believed that PFCB will follow suit and also clear the Bollywood film for release without any cuts.

Dhadak is said to be a very simple love story without any objectionable scenes or dialogues. The film features Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khattar in the lead, opposite late Bollywood legend Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor. It marks the Bollywood debut for both lead actors.

The Shashank Khaitan directorial also features Aditya Kumar and Ashutosh Rana, among others. Film-maker Karan Johar has co-produced Dhadak with Hiroo Johar and Apoorva Mehta.

Girls can do anything in a film and that’s the way it should be: Maya Ali

Teefa in Trouble has already received its clearance certificate, with the country’s biggest cinema houses advertising its release. The film has been produced by the Pakistani singer-actor Ali himself, who also stars in it opposite Maya Ali.

Actors Javed Sheikh, Faisal Qureshi, Mahmood Aslam are also among the cast of the action-comedy. The forthcoming film is a family affair with Ali’s wife Ayesha Fazli serving as the co-producer and brother Danyal Zafar having co-written it.

Although Ali has featured in numerous Bollywood films in the past, Teefa will be his first Pakistani film. In fact, it is also Maya’s debut on the big screen.

Dhadak ( a remake of a Marathi Movie Sairat about honor killing) will be a hit in Pakistan because..

1. Pakistanis love Bollywood movies. They like Indian films more than Pakistani ones. 70% of Pak Cinema revenue is generated by Indian movies there.

2. Ali Zafar was recently accused for groping and molesting a female celebrity there. May be this will go against his movie.

3. Pakistanis can relate with Honor killings.

now get some life Pakistanis dont relate to anything which is related to poor indians your movies are meant to be made for you not for Pakistanis.........and tell us when indian govt will lift ban on Pakistani contents.....BTW no one here ever heard about this film dhadhak or what ever it is, nor any Pakistani media company is supporting it (which is the big reason for indian film success when Pakistani Media supports)and think people in Pakistan even dont know about this film with no "Khans" who loves Pakistan and loved by Pakistanis in return.

so my bet is for Teefa in Trouble which is already talk of the town....

I wish there is no too much freedom in Pakistan and we also support our industry just like other developing industries like bollywod do......Hollywood is class apart.

I only said which is a fact. 70% of Pak Cinema revenue is generated by Indian films.

Its alright if you don't see Indian movies. But of course the majority of Pakistanis loves Bollywood. That explains why we generate 70% of revenue there.

Also, I heard a celebrity accused Ali Zafar that he groped her? I guess this negative publicity could go against his movie.

Finally, Honor killing is not new for Pakistan so this movie will find many takers there as that's what this movie is about.
