Though, admittedly, if your only source for information about Pakistani films was this blog, you might be forgiven for thinking otherwise.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-86385559279629656282009-12-11T06:08:35.777-08:002009-12-11T06:08:35.777-08:00I got the book thanks to you, and really have enjo...I got the book thanks to you, and really have enjoyed reading it (although I didn't much enjoy the one Pakistani film I've managed to get through as you know) :) I think all that uncontained testosterone onscreen is simply too much for my frail female sensibilities.memsaabhttp://memsaabstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-69714902908022105762009-12-09T08:58:01.541-08:002009-12-09T08:58:01.541-08:00Yeah, and Dr. Dolittle too!

The book is out of print, but I had no trouble finding it through one of the secondary sellers on Amazon.

They have a fairly decent selection of older Punjabi movies. Be forewarned, though, that, from what I've seen, Pakistani DVDs are even worse in quality than Indian ones. Lots of skipping and freezing. My one attempt to purchase movies directly from Pakistan involved me ordering <i>Maula Jat</i> and receiving in return some random contemporary romantic comedy. I probably won't be doing that again.<br /><br />House: In all honesty, I don't think that that's a poster for this particular film, but I just couldn't resist posting it. I mean, Sultan Rahi is simultaneously stabbing two lions in the head! You just know that he's next going to tear out their brains and devour them raw. Even an animal lover like myself has to bow before the majesty of such an image. <br /><br />This might be a good place to mention something that I forgot to in the review. There's a scene in this movie where Sultan Rahi ambushes a gang of thugs by bursting out, guns a-blazing, from underneath a giant pile of money.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-10672068757993492462009-12-08T02:12:43.677-08:002009-12-08T02:12:43.677-08:00That must be the best film poster I have seen this...That must be the best film poster I have seen this month.<br />Sultan Rahi is no fan of cats, I presume?houseinrlyeh aka Denishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548069611516508274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-37006335064343850032009-12-08T02:07:03.902-08:002009-12-08T02:07:03.902-08:00Cool!

I once contacted hotspotonline, but I think he was afraid of being picked up the ISI if he started parcelling stuff to India. :)sunilnoreply@blogger.com
