charizmatic:
well laaaj was far far more better than larki punjaban...business wise...
not what i heard/read.
here's just one article i read:
'...all these themes are strong enough to evoke passion and consequently appeal for the movie. Sadly for Laaj's writer-director Rauf Khalid this hasn't happened. Even a casual viewing of the film shows that
he has only himself to blame for the failure. First, he has tried to do too much. In a short span of three hours, he has attempted, unsuccessfully though, to prove or disprove too many theories - that Muslims are forgiving and considerate, that the British exploited Hindu-Muslim divide to strengthen their rule in India, that goras succeeded because of fifth columnists among us, that Pashtuns fiercely guarded their independence against the colonial invaders, that love knows no differences --the list can go on forever like this.'
the article can be read in full @:
