Yes. We should be focusing on entertainment. Leave the moralizing to the mullahs and intellectuals for now.
Bollywood and Hollywood didn't become successful for their 'message' but their entertainment value.
P.S. For example, this movie Waar. Who is going to watch it outside of Pakistanis? If this is intended to showcase Pakistan's sacrifices in the WOT, they are preaching to the choir. What a waste of money!
finally a sane ansI think his subject is Hypocrisy not Islam
well if the movie shows hi octane action...big guns and big bangs....people gona watch it...and enjoy it....the message can be easily missed in the action...and while watching pretty faces..if there are any.
I would like to see a Pakistani movie which does NOT talk about terror, radicalism or Islam. How about a simple, light-hearted comedy or romantic movie that people watch for enjoyment rather than moralistic or ideological preaching?
I am sure there have been rare sightings in Pakistan where people fall in love or make jokes without Islam or terrorism being relevant.
Our current film-makers' obsession with radicalism only plays into the Western stereotype of linking Pakistan with extremism and terror. Give it a rest and talk about ordinary life for a change, what say?

I think the one reason could be to make something NOT bollywood. The director might want to set him apart from the more light hearted Hindi movies.
Another reason is to gain international attention. Dealing with controversial subjects is an easy way to grab international recognition.
Well, think of it as an action movie with nice production value with a little bit of message thrown in for the mix. Because at the end of the, that's what it is, a movie.

But that is done much better with a mixed cast of known Hollywood celebrities and a story that others can relate to. This movie has an all Pakistani cast. Does anybody seriously believe it will have much traction outside the Pakistani community?

Ten years of such wars now and 20 years during the Afghan-Soviet war.........30 years of Pakistan's life have been dominated by such wars and their effects. In between, put in the wars with India and you don't expect it to affect the media/film industy?
