First look of Tipu in Saat Din Mohabbat In unveiled
KARACHI-The much awaited first look of Sheheryar Munawar as Tipu from upcoming Pakistani film ‘Saat Din Mohabbat In’ was unveiled on Tuesday.
The character of the film played by the heartthrob Sheheryar Munawar is an introvert by nature, an inexperienced young man who is very hesitant when it comes to approaching women. He is always struggling to find love, but has big dreams of finding the one true love of his life and turning into the star he has always wanted to be. Hence begins his pursuit for love and his voyage in 7DMI.
7DMI is a romantic comedy featuring Mahira Khan, Sheheryar Munawar, Mira Sethi, Amna Ilyas and Javed Sheikh. Directed by the acclaimed duo Meenu and Farjad, this genre-defying, heartwarming urban fairy tale will captivate audiences everywhere.

Motorcycle Girl trailer impresses
March 31, 2018
Adnan Sarwar’s much anticipated movie, Motorcycle Girl takes inspiration from the life of Zenith Irfan, the first female motorcyclist to travel across Pakistan solo. Starring Sohai Ali Abro as the protagonist, the film is scheduled to release on April 20, this year, while the trailer recently came out amidst immense praise.
Shot in the beautiful locales of Kashmir, Motorcycle Girl looks very promising as per the trailer. The 2 minutes and seven seconds long trailer opens with Sohai Ali Abro being corrected by her husband to be (or so we suppose), essayed by Ali Kazmi, over the articulation of an alphabet in Urdu. However, she isn’t meant to confine herself to what others want her to be and is determined to fulfill her deceased father’s dream of travelling around the world on a motor bike. She takes on the challenge without letting family and societal barriers affect her strength and determination. What her journey is like and how she tackles hindrances that come her way is what the film tackles.
By the looks of it, the film looks impressive with great acting, dialogues and cinematography. Topping it off, it also touches upon multiple issues that women in our society have to face and surrender to.
Besides Sohai and Ali Kazmi, the film also features powerhouse performers Sarmad Sultan Khoosat and Samina Peerzada while it has been co-produced by Jami Mehmood of Moor fame.

Cake
It prides me to say that Cake shows other Pakistani film-makers that it’s time to get rid of your item songs, hackneyed storylines and cheap gimmicks. It’s time to take cinema seriously now. Cake is one film – after Punjab Nahi Jaungi – that people will want to cherish (again and again) for a long time.
Verdict: When life gives you a few hundred bucks, you better go and watch Cake.
Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

Patriotism takes flight in the first look of upcoming PAF drama 'Parwaaz Hai Junoon'
The first poster for upcoming film Parwaaz Hai Junoon has finally been released.
With Hamza Ali Abbasi’s look being the first to be revealed, the poster shows the actor clad in the Pakistan Air Force uniform with his head held high.
We couldn’t help but notice the badge Hamza is sporting bears his real name. Could it be that the actors’ characters in the film share their original names?
Directed by Haseeb Hasan, Parwaaz Hai Junoon‘s plot revolves around real-life Pakistan Air Force (PAF) success stories. The supporting cast of the film will include actual cadets, fighter pilots and PAF personnel.
At the film’s launch last year, Hamza stated that his scenes will be shot in a CASA Aircraft. “This is an honour for us! I am looking forward to presenting the face of PAF to the world.”
Shamoon Ali Abbasi and Janaan’s Hania Aamir are also part of the cast alongside Ahad Raza Mir, Shaz Khan, Kubra Khan and Hamza.
While both actors said it was too early to reveal more about their characters, Shamoon added, “I can’t share much information but I’m basically part of the training session. I will be training the new recruits in the film. It’s a very motivational role.”
The Janaan actor said her’s was an important role as well. Talking about the project, Hania revealed, “It’s a very patriotic film and the cast is full of young people so it’s really fun. The film is also quite women-centric so I am very happy to be a part of it.”
Parwaaz Hai Junoon is all set for release this Eidul Fitr.
