Here's something uplifting. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) New York is known for exhibiting and showcasing critically acclaimed works of art from all over the world. The museum recently invited our very own film Ramchand Pakistani, directed by Mehreen Jabbar, for special screenings from April 21-26. It's an honour because MoMA has very high standards of picking and choosing art pieces. Way to go MJ and her team.

That's not it. Last month at the Belgrade International Film Festival in Serbia, Ramchand Pakistani was received with a standing ovation, apart from getting critically praised by those who know the art of film-making. This makes the movie the first Pakistani film ever to have been invited for screening at no fewer than 33 film festival all round the globe! In June 2010, the film has also been invited for a special screening by the Vancouver Film Festival, Canada.

What's next, MJ?
