Fahad Mustafa has shared his two cents on the downfall of Pakistani movies and the problems that are currently affecting the industry.
In his latest interview with Nauman Ijaz, the Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad actor while sharing his thoughts about films, said that we think we were doing good. “Our films were witnessing growth until 2019. Actually, things eventually went bad.”
He went on to say, “I think the businesses that grow rapidly, also fall down rapidly, the evil eye struck us, things got worsened during Covid. Also, the political situation has hit us really badly after which Indian films were banned, it affected cinema.”
According to Mustafa, the TV industry has a very deep bond with the audience in Pakistan. However, the actor thinks that the film industry does not have that with the Pakistani audiences.

On a question about local filmmakers’ work, Mustafa said that if he asked you to name five good films, you will not be able to tell about them and If I will ask you about films’ songs, even the singers here will not be able to answer about them, which pretty much tells that we haven’t delivered anything significant yet.
“Accepting our mistakes is good, that way, we can move forward. We need to make 70 to 80 films per year, out of which 10 to 15 of the films should be the films that can be owned by us,” Mustafa said.
