LAHORE, Aug 13: Newly-released Punjabi flick
Ishq Khuda has earned Rs11 million during the last five days.
Pakistani film audiences, keeping in view the
past record of Punjabi films mostly named after proclaimed offenders and full
of violence, were not expecting such a movie. After the success of Majajan and
Mohabbatan Sachian, the newly-released Punjabi movie directed by Shahzad
Rafique has done a marvelous job at the box office.Though the film has some
dragged scenes, its mimeograph, music and the message of peace and tolerance
has given it a special place in the hearts of cinegoers.
Ishq Khuda stars Shaan Shahid, Meera, Saima,
Ahsan Khan and Moroccan actress Wiam Dahmani. It has been produced by Shafquat
Chaudhry and the music is composed by Wajahat Attray. The late Riazur Rehman
Sagar wrote the lyrics, while Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shazia Manzoor and Sanam
Marvi did the playback singing. The film was released on Aug 9. The shooting of
the film was done at scenic locations of Mianwali and Khoora village of Soon
Valley in the Khushab district and it was completed with Rs25 million.
Ishq Khuda is a love triangle among Ahsan Khan,
Meera and Dahmani. Shaan plays a former criminal turned Sufi preacher and Saima
plays his love interest. The success of Ishq Khuda was celebrated by cutting a
cake at a ceremony at Metropol Cinema on Tuesday.
Meera and Rafique were present on the occasion.
Similarly, only Meera attended the film’s premier on Aug 8.
It is learnt that Rafique has expressed his
displeasure with this attitude of the cast of the film. Speaking on the
occasion, Meera said she would soon begin fundraising to build a hospital in
Haroonabad. She also talked about her upcoming trip to Norway.
