The movie is expect- ed to hit the cinemas nationwide on the 12th of August, after which it will be released in the U.A.E. on the 22nd, and in the United King- dom, U.S.A. and Canada on the 23rd of August. Heer Maan Ja is expected to be an emotional joyride revolving around two main characters, Heer and Kabeer, played by Ha- reem Farooq and Ali Rehman Khan respectively. While both the main characters have their own complicated life journeys, the movie will be an emotional and comedic portrayal of the spark that ignites the moment these two reunite under unique circum- stances. Directed by Azfar Jafri and produced by Imran Raza Kazmi, Hareem Farooq and Arif Lakhani, Heer Maan Ja will feature Ali Rehman Khan and Hareem Farooq in the lead roles along with Fai- zan Sheikh, Mojiz Hasan and Shumayle Khattak. The film has partnered up with Geo Films as the of- ficial media partner and Distribution Club for the nationwide release of the movie. 7UP Pakistan Wedding Show Launches its Third Edition! 7UP Pakistan Wedding Show, the larg- est wedding expo ever held in Paki- stan proudly launched its third con- secutive edition with an exclusive event held at the Ali Auditorium in Lahore The highlight of the evening was a special segment hosted by Pakistan’s leading come- dian, Saad Haroon titled ‘The Wedding Show with Saad Haroon’ featuring the star studded cast of the upcoming movie “Parey Hut Love”. With over 70 exhibitors, the 7UP Pakistan Wedding Show 2019 will kick off in Lahore on August 24th and 25th at the Lahore Expo Centre. The launch event, hosted by one of Lahore’s leading media personality Sophiya Anjam, started with introduc- tory note followed by media address- es by Managing Director of Pakistan Wedding Show and Dreamweaver Productions Hassaan Khalid followed by a special appearance and one on one conversation with the cast of Parey Hut Love; Sheheryar Munawar, Maya Ali, Ahmed Ali Butt, Zara Noor Abbas and Shahbaz Shigri. The discussion was followed by an exclusive live comedy performance by Saad Haroon in which he discussed the premise of weddings, relationships, its comical side and how weddings are the scene for some of the most hilarious and joyful moments in life. Anticipating an even greater turnout than the previous two edi- tions, Hassaan Khalid, Managing Director of 7UP Pakistan Wed- ding Show and Dreamweaver Productions, said of the event, “I have been flabbergasted by the great support our efforts have received over the past two editions. This year, we have set out to make the event even bigger and better for the audience who find it an immensely useful tool in helping them plan every- thing related to their wedding, under one roof. We have made sure our launch will be the perfect start to Pakistan Wedding Show 2019.” IRK Films Brings Us an- other Musical Masterpiece ‘Chan Mahi’ After receiving massive applause for Addi Maar, Heer Maan Ja and Kuch To Hua Hai, IRK Films and Arif Lakhani Films in collaboration with Geo Films have just released a fourth music video ‘Chan Mahi’, from their upcoming movie Heer Maan Ja. Chan Mahi is a soft, slow number with a touch of melancholy to it. The song has been sung by the rising musical sensa- tion of Paki- stan, Abdullah Qureshi, who also wrote the lyrics of the song along with the talented Kinza Razzak. Under the label of Saga Music, the music has been composed by Ahmed Ali. The song is a sad expression of a love lost and the consequent pain that heart- break ensues. The music video fea- tures the lead actors of the movie, Hareem Farooq and Ali Rehman Khan, in their respective roles of Heer and Kabeer. “Heer Maan Ja is a rom-com that will give you all genres of music. Where we have the Punjabi bhangra number Addi Maar and the club mix for the title track, we also have soft and slow numbers like Kuch Toh Hua Hai and Chan Mahi. This will be the first time you’ll see this superhit on-screen couple Ali and Hareem together in a romantic setting and we believe you’ll be completely struck by their fabulous chemistry,” Imran Raza Ka- zmi from IRK Films commented. .

  • 2. Ordering the Social World a Sociolinguistic Analysis of Gender
    FWU Journal of Social Sciences, Winter 2015, Vol.9, No.2, 14-21 Ordering the Social World: A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Gender Roles In Pakhtun Folk Wisdom Qaisar Khan and Arab Naz University of Malakand, Chakdara Dir Lower, KPK Uzma Anjum National University of Modern Languages (NUML), Islamabad Faisal Khan Center for Management and Commerce, University of Swat Gender roles and division of labor have been exhaustively researched in the recent decades. Many studies address gender bias and disparity and strive for striking a balance between the roles of men and women. This paper argues that roles are culturally conditioned and based on cultural relativism, Pakhtun society segregate masculine and feminine domains for peaceful co-existence. Guided by the theoretical perspective of Herbert Mead (1901-1978) division of labor is not always discriminatory or biased and its existence can be justified in particular settings. The findings of the study are based on qualitative linguistic analysis of collated folk tappas (plural of tappa) from archived (and/or) published collections and their authors’ interpretations. The study intends to investigate and highlight gender role segregation as projected in the language of tappas with a view to establish their relevance to social order in the long history of Pakhtuns residing on Pak-Afghan border in the north-west frontier province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The findings of the study conclude that gender roles fit into the patriarchal social structure of Pakhtuns and define social roles and responsibilities for peaceful co-existence of the two genders. Keywords: language; cultural relativism; Pakhtun; gender; Pakhtunwali The argument of the study is based on the anthropological perspective of cultural conditioning which emphasizes the role of culture in shaping attitudes, behaviors, social practices and above all gender roles to maintain division of labor.

  • This Paper Focuses on Gender Disparity Behind the Camera, As Seen in Film Industries Worldwide, with a Focus on Contemporary Pakistani Cinema
    This paper focuses on gender disparity behind the camera, as seen in film industries worldwide, with a focus on contemporary Pakistani cinema. Not only is there an obvious lack of gender parity in on-screen film representations, but this disproportionality increases when one looks at the gender of individuals behind the lens. Directors, writers, producers, editors, cinematographers, and composers are just a few of the people who must work y behind the scenes to bring a story to life on the big screen. As in many other industries, women are underrepresented in filmmaking while systemic biases in the film industry inhibit the inclusion of women within all technological departments. This study addresses this inequality by exploring local socioeconomic factors and questions the repercussions of this imbalance on the final screen texts. There has been no previous in- depth analysis of this issue within the Pakistani film industry, hence statistical models are presented using data from mainstream digital films released from 2013 to 2018. This analysis also relies on interviews of individuals currently working in the industry with the goal of including first- Keywords: Gender Disparity, Film Production, Pakistani Cinema, Pakistani Digital Cinema, Female Directors The dominant discourse on gender and film tends to focus on the representation of women on-screen: the unequal power dynamics, the hyper-sexualized objectification, the excessive use of the male gaze, and a conspicuous lack of main-stream female stories. Increasingly though the conversation has started to shift towards issues previously overlooked, including the widening pay gap, misogynistic discrimination and sexual harassment which have led to the emergence of charged global movements such as Me Too and assault in the workplace and more specifically in the film industry.
