Four new Pashto films released in the local cinemas on Eidul Fitr attracted large crowds to the local cinemas.
The cine-goers insisted first the films mostly shot in Abbottabad were technically sound and second actors performed very well.
Some of them, especially villagers, who watch films on Eid, said they also saw a departure from the past when Pashto films were slammed for obscenity, absence of impressive story and dialogues, and bad display due to old equipment. “Jawargar (gambler) is the best among the films I’ve watched until now,” said Zahir Khan, who claimed to have seen 150 films.
He said the use of new technology had improved audibility and visibility of Pashto films screened in local cinemas. I saw three films this Eid and they all were of good quality,” he said.
According to him, he watch films whenever he happens to be in Peshawar but Eid is a special occasion when he comes to the town for it along with friends.
