Pity where in the world our fate has led us, where Shahbaz Sharif has made Pakistan Paris, Imran Khan has made Naya Pakistan but, goras couldn’t even make Pakistan, Pakistan.
Here are a few examples, when Hollywood movies outraged us desi’s:
1) Dressing
We spend thousands of rupees on Maria B, Sana Safinaz, and Khaadi dresses and are still presented in Burka in movies. Even if we forget the clothes worn by actresses, I’m torn between the fact that an abaya from Almirah cost me 9000 rupees and all Hollywood shows are outdated burkas. Duh…..!!!! Our great-grandmothers used to wear those. Our models don’t even wear dupatta, and here they are making us wear topi wala Burka in movies. Looks like in case of Pakistan, goras haven’t come out of their memories of the sub-continent. Or maybe goras are more Pakistani than we are?
2) Beards
Another thing you will notice in Hollywood movies is that all Pakistani men have a beard, which has offended our Pakistani chiknay. No doubt, bearded men are considered the true candy, but what about feelings of those cleanshaven tait pieces? Seems like Hollywood directors haven’t seen our new Prime Minister.
3) Violence
Pakistan in Hollywood is prone to violence and random mobs will attack foreigners. Meanwhile, mobs in Pakistan be like:
4) Accents
The most annoying thing that makes you cringe is an accent. Pakistanis in movies have the worst Urdu vocabulary that makesyou want to bang your head against the wall. Washroom being called pakhana? Baitul-khala must be hard for angrez to pronounce. And if Pakistani speaks English in their movies it is so irritating, that mankind angel seems melodious to ear?
Mankind, seriously? Ok, then Nasir Jan’s kiki?
5) Pakistani Land
Pakistan in Hollywood movies looks somewhat like this
No wait, is this Islamabad? How on Earth can this densely populated city be Islamabad without those Pindi boys? What were they even thinking of depicting Islamabad without Pindi boys who will soon get representation in Parliament? Thank God they could at least depict Pakistan better in zero dark thirty, but interestingly that wasn’t even filmed in Pakistan but in Chandigarh of Paros mulk. Makes us wonder why dooru dooru akhian maaray munda patwari da?
Dear Hollywood! You really need to do research before presenting Pakistan in your movies. Or else you can ask our Durdana for help anytime!
