Kaaf Kangna

Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar’s directorial debut Kaaf Kangana was earlier set to release this Eid ul Adha and battle it out at the box office with Superstar, Parey Hut Love and Heer Maan Ja.

However, the film seems to have opted out of the Eid race. In an Instagram post shared by actor Humayun Saeed, the release date for ‘Kaaf Kangana’ has been stated as 25th October 2019.

“A dear friend and also the greatest writer we have today, wishing Khalil sb all the best for his directorial debut Kaaf Kangana. Releasing on 25th October,” read the post.

The news created a lot of confusion and left everyone curious, until the director himself confirmed the delay.

“The film has been delayed as I wanted to release the film internationally along with the domestic release. Due to some issues, there will be a delay in international release. This is why we will be releasing the film in October now,” he told Epk in an exclusive chat.

Khalil Ur Rehman claims that the decision is taken as a move that is most suitable for the industry.

While some fans are disappointed, others do not seem to be affected by the decision much.

Starring Sami Khan, Eeshal Fayyaz and Ayesha Omar in lead roles, Kaaf Kangana is a film focusing on cross-border love. Sami Khan essays the role of a Pakistani-Muslim guy who is in love with a Sikh-Indian girl named Kangana (Eshal Fayyaz). The film also features a dance number by the very talented, Neelum Munir.

The film has been made in collaboration with ISPR and will now release on 25th October. Time will tell if the decision to delay was worth it or not, but for now, let’s see which Eid film wins at the box office.

Iran’s Hijab Week Promotional Video Ignites Massive Debate on Social Media!

Iran Hijab Week

Women in Iran are required to wear either full-body cloaks or headscarves that cover their arms. Any other kind of hijab or dressing is deemed inappropriate by the morality police.

In order to celebrate Hijab week in Iran, a short video clip sponsored by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps promoting the Islamic headscarf was released.

The clip features a young woman entering a shop that sells fake jewellery and asking the shopkeeper where the real ones are kept. “Real jewellery is kept in seven boxes and locked in seven safes,” the shopkeeper replies.

He also tells her anything that is valuable is “hard to access and commands special respect”.

When another woman enters wearing a full-body veil, the chador, the man stands up straight and bows his head making the first women realize that she has to change the way she dresses in order to be valued.

The video has been produced by the Basij Cyberspace organization. The comparison of women to jewellery has gained negative publicity and triggered a debate on social media.

“I’m a human being. Don’t downgrade us to goods,” read a woman’s reaction who felt rather humiliated.

This is not the first time women have been compared to commodities. Earlier there were degrading adverts all over the Middle East comparing Muslim women to wrapped lollipops.

Social Media Reactions 

Have a look at the Twitter reactions:

“Have RELIGIOUS MEN -no civility, no honor, no respect. no self CONTROL” read a twitter reaction.

“You don’t own me,” stated another.

Another suggested that the male council should start applying the same rules to themselves first.

 

Others celebrated the fact that they did not live in Iran.

According to NASA, both the appearance and disappearance of such islands is due to mud volcanoes.

Here is what a statement by NASA reads:

Zalzala Koh may be out of sight for now, but that does not mean it is completely gone. In 2019, hints of the island persist in Landsat imagery. As recently as June 2019, Landsat observed trails of sediment circulating around the submerged base.

The series of images above shows the island in April and September 2013, November 2016, and April 2019. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on EO-1 acquired the September 2013 image; all the others images came from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8.

Shattering the Silence: Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy Releases the Third Part titled “CHILD MARRIAGE”

Child Marriage Pakistan

SOC Films, helmed by the two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, releases the third part from the animated series “Shattering the Silence”, a project aimed at creating meaningful dialogue around issues of child abuse.

The third animated short-film from Shattering the Silence, titled “Child Marriage”, is told through the eyes of a young girl, and follows the story of Mina, a child who is pulled out of school and married off at a young age.

As the film progresses, we see the physical and mental toll that early marriage can have on a child bride, and consequently, the limited opportunities that lend themselves to women with no proper educational qualifications when marriages don’t work out.

Through resilience, determination, and awareness, Mina is ultimately able to turn her life around when she approaches Panah – a shelter that not only takes both Mina and her daughter in but gives her vocational training.

A SOC Films initiative, Shattering the Silence is a 4-part animated series, in Urdu, which aims to critically engage audiences, and children specifically, with real-life stories of child abuse and to educate them with the corresponding laws, the resources which can be accessed and the steps which can be taken if they, or any other children they know of, are forced into situations of marriage, labor, trafficking or physical abuse.

The third short-film can be viewed here:

Each short-film has been conceptualized, produced and directed by SOC Films and will be between 2 to 3 minutes long.

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) issued a notice on Thursday to warn the general public.

The warning was in regards to trusting schemes, job opportunities, programs, and investment options offered by unofficial media channels.

The Press Release further states that the commission has taken in to notice that M/s Galaxy Typing Jobs Limited was involved in illegal activities.

The company was also found committing fraud by claiming that the website is SECP approved. On the other hand, SECP clarified that just because companies are registered with SECP, it does not mean they will not commit illegal activities and that does not mean they have the authority to take deposits from the general public.

SECP has declared such business activities as unauthorized and unlawful in Pakistan and has also initiated action against the criminals.

Gold Sales Go Down This Wedding Season as Prices Keep Increasing

gold price in pakistan

The price of gold reached an all time high of Rs 80,500 per tola at the end of June 2019, with an increase of Rs 1300.

There seems to be no stopping when it comes to the prices of gold, silver, and gemstones these days. As they continue to become more unaffordable by the day, a report by geo, based on a survey conducted in Karachi tells us that there is someone who is benefiting from the inflation: the imitation jewelry in Pakistan.

The survey revealed that price-conscious female consumers this season are becoming increasingly inclined towards imitation jewelry and moving away from real gold.

When asked for insights behind this shift, here is what a Karachi-based goldsmith said:

“The unexpected hike in gold prices has affected our customers’ purchasing power”

Needless to say, artificial jewelry also gives women more options to choose from and in much less prices.

When women come looking for jewelry to go with their wedding outfits, for instance, a real gold jewelry set can cost them a minimum of 100,000 PKR. On the other hand, an artificial or even gold plated set of jewelry would cost them as less as 3 or 4 thousand rupees.

Moreover, these items are more practical, can be worn without fretting about getting robbed, and can be polished when they start to fade to regain their shine.

Have you also become part of the artificial jewelry trend?

Emirates NBD

The number of cybercrime the global banking industry faces has been increasing in recent years and so Dubai Police has joined forces with Emirates NBD to launch a #SecureYourAccount campaign that is aimed at promoting public awareness on cybersecurity.

Combining humour and advice, Dubai police in collaboration with Emirates NBD produced a rap song about bank fraud. The song is a parody of ‘It Wasn’t Me’, the popular hit song by Jamaican rapper Shaggy.

The catchy rap tune sums up the conversation between a banker and its client who was tricked online.

The two-minute long video begins with him calling the bank insisting that his entire account was wiped out after receiving an email that asked him to send his bank details and password to resolve a payment issue.

The client said that the scammer messaged him on WhatsApp, called him in the shower and also told him that he won the lottery. However, the bank manager, unaware of the fraud repeatedly says “It wasn’t me!”

 “All the things a bank won’t ask, but a fraudster will! Our latest film “It Wasn’t Me”, in collaboration with @emiratesnbd_ae, gives you the do’s and don’ts of keeping your identity and account secure at all times…,” the caption stated.

Banks would never call or email and ask their customers to reveal personal details such as online or mobile banking credentials and password, card PIN or the three-digit CVV number.

Cybercrime is a global threat that demands collective attention. Accumulating positive response, the video has been labeled informative and entertaining.

Here’s how social media reacted to the video

Despite acknowledging and owning her developing feelings for Armaan, Aiman doesn’t want to rush into anything. She also tells him that she had a dream where Saadi is giving her hand into his hand.

Dil Kiya Karey is a beautiful tale of love and relationships. Armaan marrying a window and wanting to raise her child is a progressive message to all those regressive people in the society who make things harder for women than they already are.

Apart from and Yumna Zaidi the cast also included Mariam Nafees, Sonia Rehman, Sarmad Khoosat, Shamim Hilali, Abid Ali and Tanveer Jamal who played their characters to perfection nonetheless. Directed by Mehreen Jabbar, the drama was absolutely worth watching and we cannot wait to watch Feroze and Yumna star in more projects together.

He soon realized his folly and deleted his tweet. However, he was not fast enough to escape the speed of social media, so here is what he said:

 

And so began the public’s reaction to his mistake!

The masses are clearly amused.

Some are using it as a chance to be reminded to think before one speaks/tweets.

Many are using it as an opportunity to take a dig at Pakistan’s intellect, implying that Pakistanis elect such politicians because the nations itself lacks intelligence.

Needless to say, it has made for some great laughing stock for not just Pakistanis but for netizens all around the globe.

What do you think about it? Can we spare the Pakistani politician, considering it as ‘human error’?
