As cinemas gain popularity around the country the Pakistani film industry is increasing the pace of churning out movies with everyone getting involved in the process.

“The System,” a much-awaited movie by Shahzad Ghufoor, is set to release next month.

Its song, Aa Re Aa, sung by Komal Rizvi and Indian singer Javed Ali officially released on April 26 is a number to be heard. It’s written by Bollywood lyricist Mohit Pathak and produced and directed by Shailesh Suwarna.

Talking about the song Komal Rizvi said: “I recorded Aa Re Aa in Mumbai at Salaish’s studio and working with Javed Ali is always fun. I fell in love with the song right from the start. It’s catchy, sensual and right up my alley.”

Cast: Nadeem Baig, Shafqat Cheema, Mariyam Ali Hussain, Nayyar Ejaz, Sara, Rabia Tabassum. Directed By: Shahzad Ghufoor

@Girl lol for that you need a brain which unfortunately is lacking in Pakistan. Make a Pakistani standard (if there is one) film first, think of Global Standard later. lol

All I have seen and read in this news item is two semi nude photos and some comments on a sensual song. I hope the movie turns out to be better than the write up here.

@Roza - Quite right. "classy" was more to go with Bol. But for Waar at least something different to the run-of-the-mill stuff, I should say.

Most of the Pakistanis are inteligent enough, hence Indian movies are not for this market. So this becomes an opportunity for Pakistani movie makers. Should carry on the legacy set by Waar.

@Pune-MH I thought India took it after American movies? Tons of copied songs, stories from American, Pakistani, Bangla? Stop educating and start admiring like we do from across the border.

@Praneet Is Jab tak hai jaan global standard. so many flaws in that film. Film was supposed to be set in 2002 and yet in challah song u can see the london olympic rings at the rail station. Katrina riding in 12 reg car in 2002. In fact 12 reg car in 2002 and a 2004 reg bmw x5 in present day. Also, same laptop used in 2002 and 10 years later. That film was the poorest indiam film ever made. Waar had no such issue with clangers like that.

@cool You are part of the same heritage dude. You might not accept the truth, but true it is. Don't look at the past buddy. Look at the present and the future. Where do you see India and Pakistan in the next 10 years?
