Kolachi is another interesting addition to our local cinema. It is Pakistan's first science fiction movie. The trailer has been released virally and has created quite a positive stir amongst Pakistanis and movie lovers. The film will go into production in April 2011 and will be released in 2012.
Kolachi's story is written by Summer Nicks - a Pakistan based Australian filmmaker. The director of the movie is Mansoor Mujahid. The star cast includes Meher Jaafri, Summer Nicks, Hisham Aziz, Moiz Badshah, Akbar Islam, Saqib Khan, Fawad Khan and Shahroz Subzwari.
Kolachi is about Karachi that can exist five minutes from now or five years from now.
This is what the director said about Kolachi:
“The Karachi we are aiming at is a cross between New York and Iraq. If we look at what has happened in the city in the past few years, we find that a lot of foreign investment is coming but our basic ethnic and sociopolitical issues have not been resolved as yet”.
“The film is about how all the issues from target killings to bomb blasts will eventually erupt into a bigger issue that Karachi will have to face. So, largely it is about concerns that will eventually lead the character of this city to apocalypse,” .
Here check out its teaser trailer. You won't be disappointed!
