July 2016 was a good year for movies- with almost 4 Pakistani movie releases, the cinemas are filled with moviegoers and fans alike! With Sultan being the highest grossing movie in Pakistan, our Pakistani movies surely do tend to suffer. July 22nd witnessed 3 Pakistani movie releases namely Revenge of the Worthless that received great reviews and managed to reap 1.6 crores at the box office on the first weekend. Ishq positive and Blind Love, however, failed to impress the audiences.

The movie has been scripted, produced and directed by Jamal Shah himself. He was all set to create a documentary with the same subject but in the end decided to go ahead with directing a movie instead.
See how Twitter reacted to ROW:

Ishq Positive Box office Collections & Reviews
The movie Ishq Positive apparently did not fare well at the box office as it only earned 60 lacs on the first day. The overall average over the weekend at the box office was 1.2 crores which signaled a drop at the movie’s earnings.
The movie itself had nothing new to offer, story wise. It had not so funny jokes, bad direction, and a few gaudy item songs. The chemistry between the lead actors, Noor and Wali wasn’t believable.
It had all the nostalgic ingredients of the previous Lollywood films and horribly flopped. The lead is played by Noor Bukhari of a vivacious character Rajjo who falls for Wali (Wali Hamid Ali Khan) and hence their love is tested in many ways. The lush scenery couldn’t even distract the viewer from the quality of the dialogues and storyline.
Twitter reactions to Ishq Positive:
'Ishq Positive pronounced another one of Lollywood's failures'
I ask, was there like a chance of Ishq Positive being a cinematic success?— A. (@roleoasmalia) July 24, 2016
