Breaking down the Zindagi Tamasha Controversy | Haute Bites | Something Haute

[@shaistakhanum583]

Let Sarmad release the Film and let Pakistanis decide about it. Many laws in Pakistan are against Islam and Council of Islamic Ideology has passed many laws in past. No one objected about it. Sarmad has rights to raise social issues in media

[@sajhussain2317]

Shaista Khanum 👍

[@PakistanZindabad-dt4rb]

Shame on u, after realeasing this shit , how we will revert from minds of people. Which is the actual cause of this moom batti maafia to tranform minds of people towards non islamic things

[@abdullahshaikh649]

Shaista khanum due to huge respect for you mam I would like to ask you only islam has become social issue? Don't u have unemployment? Uneducation? Poor health facilities? Corruption? Infrastructure? Aren't these deserved to be central themes of yours films industries? I know several girls including me who wear burqa get bullied by so called liberals' I know several bearded men who are bullied because of their apperance? All libtards are clean hands ? Why don't they showcase other side of coin..every community has black sheep what media is doing picking up those black sheeps and they lebel them look molvis are like this don't u think it has far reached impact on our future generation and this is also injustice

[@waniasheikh5781]

What a genius woman Amna you deserve all the applause because your arguments are so on point

[@MuhammadIbrahim-cf1yr]

I must appreciate Something Haute for taking up a and discussing such a pertinent topic. Just like Amna, I was literally heartbroken after reading Sarmad's open letters. It's high time for the gov. to take action against such baseless protests and hinderances in the path of art and literature. Had enough of this crap!!

[@zarrinauman9503]

Please release it in canada , uk and america.we would love to see it.i loved the trailer and songs

[@makingmemoriesofmydaughter]

Plz release this movie in NY or canada I wana see this in big screen

[@ameenabukhari3486]

Also here in new Zealand and Australia as we live in Auckland n really wanna watch this movie

[@blackpeahen]

[@fatimahussain9532]

It’s a shame that Zindagi Tamasha can’t be released, we see many silly experimental cinema but why not any issue based. I bet there’s nothing sinister about anyone in this movie.I would have loved to watch it here, in cinemas across UK. Film fraternity should have a legal bench for them, it’s high time now!! Talents like Sarmad and others can’t be bullied in this way, we are heading no where any mob can threat any producer/director and all there sweat, blood and expenses goes down the drain... Really saddened by the news😢

[@ipranjali]

This reminds me so much of Padmaavat. (Just heard Hasaan mention this as well.) Also, for the record, let me say that the admittedly loud religio-political voices you hear of don't speak for all of us in India. I'm not sure if you're following the CAB/NRC movement, but there is an overwhelming number of people who believe in secularism and equality.

[@sumairamithani1032]

Seen his interview, he had sold his house for making this movie. As a person if movie will be available in Karachi. Will must buy ticket and watch. To support him.

[@PakistanZindabad-dt4rb]

You all stupid , moom batti maafia

[@mnkb_mnkb]

Sarmad khoosat should release it on NetFlix so we can watch it

[@sumerakhalid9159]

I highly appreciate your effort to highlight the situation and hope this movie releases soon. Hassan and Amina..... really enjoyed your thought-provoking stance.

[@hamnahsaqib2147]

This really cleared up my doubts on this issue cause I was really confused as to what was happening. Completely agree with everything u guys said.

[@hirasajjad7605]

I wish this movie should be release in netflix or youtube..❤

[@eternaloptimist4171]

Thanks guys for raising this issue. I was looking forward to watching it here in the UK! All we can hope for is that it finally gets released... Totally agree that this is a very dangerous precedent 😳

[@mananawaisi9258]

Lots of love n respect for both of u guys for making ths channel..

[@shamamallick2710]

I was literally so excited for its release. We don’t have any right to complain about all the shaadi centred movies if you don’t support movies like this and Laal Kabooter. I pray for its release so that I can go watch this. I absolutely loved Eman suleman in Akhiri Station and we all know what a legend Sarmad Khoosat is.

[@usmanbuttish]

hats off to both of you for putting this whole situation so powerfully in words. Such a thought provoking discussion which will definitely turn out to be an eye opener for many out there who can't see the truth. I just hope all the efforts turn out to b fruitful for sarmad whos a genius. we really need such realistic cinema being promoted esp in Pakistan. It is undoubtedly a heart wrenching story n movie with extraordinay music that shakes us from with in.

[@sobirhodes3260]

Just love you Two, the clarity of your discussion and pointing out issues, fall outs are phenomenal

[@mahnoorqureshi3281]

This reminds me of an art exhibition, held in Karachi, a couple of months back, expressing solidarity with the families of 400 extra judicial killings by the famous policeman. It was ransacked by our holy cow agency . The exhibition was attended by 200 foreign artists. Articles later appeared in foreign newspapers exposing every thing. Such tactics usually back fire.😊 Then we complain about FATF and blame conspiracies.

[@ziajami]

Absolutely, it was Adeela Suleman's exhibit against Rao Anwar, responsible for the "police encountered killings" of 400 people. But unfortunately, a disgraced former SSP has more klout in Pakistan than a regular hard working filmmaker.

[@mahnoorqureshi3281]

ziajami The situation is hopeless but the struggle must go on.

[@aimannaseem9443]

I am from India and I completely agree with Amna on Bollywood Khans' part, It's always easier said than done. And after listening Zindagi Tamasha issue, exactly the same thing happened with PADMAVAT in India without a watch they boycotted that then ultimately it came out great movie and people liked after so many cuts. Ugghh! The extremist groups are worse, They are rotting our society.

[@gamermidnight9498]

i cant believe they ban this masterpiece. the trailer literally had me crying. they will never highlight the important things that are happening in our society.they will show item numbers song and movies but will never show movies that we all need to see.

[@rebekahjalali6435]

I live in Los Angeles and over the past year have been an ardent admirer of Pakistani drama for their amazing quality (for the most part) of acting, story and direction - but ABOVE ALL that the content is all clean! My mother and I have switched over from Bollywood (we were born and raised in Bombay) because most of their films have become unnecessarily vulgar. I recently came upon Something Haute and enjoy your input and presentation immensely. This Zindagi Tamasha Controversy makes me so sad and disappointed on many levels but the one at the forefront is I feel this is yet another example of so called religious and self-righteous zealots BULLYING the rest of society. The censors cleared the film but the cowards are afraid to stand behind their call. This is what is happening all over the world now. Religion is being misinterpreted and fiercely represented by bullies who use violence to scare people into cowed down submission. Political leaders are also afraid of the ignorant masses who take to the streets in violent protest. Bad things can only happen when good people do nothing! It is time for truly good believers of the CORRECT VERSION of any religion to stand up and be counted! I look forward to seeing Zindagi Tamasha on Netflix or Amazon Prime!

[@razaalee9477]

As soon as this film releases, I am going to the cinema and watch it just to show my support to the Independent Film making in particular and Liberal minded Pakistan in general. This government is nothing more than bunch of shameful losers -both Sindh and Punjab/federal- they are bowing down to most ignorant and third class mentality that doesn't even have any big support. If these hundred thousand TLP goons are pressure enough for the government I wonder what would they do if any real political party starts any campaign against them.

[@mariadsouza4714]

Sarmat dont give up. U r a courageous person n its good u have started the conversation. The people who r protesting r the people who do all these shitty stuff themselves they r sick minded people. Release this film in other countries.

[@javairiakamran2458]

Now the whole situation is clear to me. I fully support Zindagi Tamasha's release. It should be released. These bunch of extremists don't even bother to talk against rape and rapists but jaise hee in k apne uuper baat aati hai in ki zabaaney nahi band hoti.

[@lailar8907]

Amna, I think that they intentionally chose to present the character as someone who is religiously looked up to. I think Khoosat has done the very fine job of not picking a character which is too intensely Islamic, like a scholar. Btw, I love this channel’s videos, Hassan’s inputs are hilarious.. ‘Pagal ka bacha.. limited Akal’ LOL - adds some humour to this depressing (but interesting) topic x

[@khumrarana6527]

I think this movie should release on the expecting date. Sarmad is very talented director and actor. We fully support him for his brilliant work. And thanks to Amna and hussan to take this initiative to discuss and deliver the right message to audiences. I really like your show keep it up.

[@latagovindannair]

Hope the film releases in time and is received well. Wish we could also watch movies in India too, a Sarmad Khoosat film to watch on the big screen would be a treat. Anti are narrow minded people and unfortunately in power. But with the kind of protests all over, it's heartening to see and it will not be easy for anyone to break us. Enjoy the anchors, the way they review dramas and movies. I am a big fan and I thoroughly enjoy Pakistani dramas.

[@sarat8577]

Such a good discussion. Btw I read somewhere that MPTH was modified to appease mullahs. Originally there was no nikah between shahwar and mehwish. Maham finds mehwish in her bedroom and marofies chappair. There was no nikkah and no friends which also explains why mehwish didn’t end up going with her friend to her place. Because in the screenplay, the friend wasn’t there at all!! In the special show, the actress playing the friend actually mentioned it and said that KRQ should clarify(which he didn’t because )

[@themommysdiaries]

Hasan out ot rage saying 'kon pagal ka bacha aisa karay ga'...depicts my true feelings about this whole zindagi tamasha controversy. totally disappointed by the delay of movie release.was routing for sarmad's film.

[@alvinababar8702]

I'm glad that you took an initiative for Zindagi Tamasha. This was a much needed clarity and discussion for all the biases prevailing. Prayers and love for Sarmad Khoosat. Thank you Hassan and Amna♥️

[@aymanpervaiz9758]

This really shows what kind of corrupt political system we have and even a piece of art has been dragged in such a situation

[@mahnoorqureshi3281]

Ayman Pervaiz I am reminded of an art exhibition, held in Karachi, a couple of months back, expressing solidarity with the families of 400 extra judicial killings by the famous policeman. It was ransacked by our holy cow agency . The exhibition was attended by 200 foreign artists. Articles later appeared in foreign newspapers exposing every thing. Such tactics usually back fire.😊 Then we complain about FATF and blame conspiracies.

[@mashaalsajid959]

We NEED to watch this film in cinemas soon!

[@F-Khan491]

Your program is awesome. Seeing you guys talking give viewers so easy to go next door neighbour type feeling 👍 Well done guys.

[@savvyone6187]

We are not new to such controversies in India. Padmavat and Udta Punjab are recent examples but both released with disclaimers. We wish the film releases on Netflix and deeply appreciate your views on the subject. We hope you speak for all film enthusiasts in Pakistan who have the ability to view creative work like cinema for what it is.

[@bilal_ahmed1011]

This reminds me lf Miss Adeela Sulemans artwork from Bienalle 2019 being banned and destroyed. When will artists and their work be protected in this country? As an art student this gives me a harrowing image of my future. Thank you for this something haute. Atleast somebody has the balls.

[@mahnoorqureshi3281]

I was reminded of the same incident. Just commented about it.😊 No one will talk about that, not even the ones condemning this. You would know why? No one has the balls to condemn those holy cows.😉

[@bilal_ahmed1011]

@@mahnoorqureshi3281 its such a shame, where the world is celebrating diversity, beauty of variations and art, we are stuck in our restrictions. And when the foreigners come in our country, pick the same stories and make films, we applaud them and embrace them with open arms. Excellent ideology.

[@ranaahsaansurveyor1763]

[@asmafarooqi3251]

I want to watch the movie and its so unfortunate what's happening with Sarmad

[@shahorology]

actually, I think it's good this happened because I didn't even know about the movie or the director. Now I will ensure I find this movie and from now on will follow the director and future releases. from the trailer, it seems like an amazing story.

[@rockeystatus7106]

I really want to watch Zindagi Tamasha but now I am disappointed to know that it will not release because of our society I am still waiting when our society think positive but I don't think our society can change But it's really a bigger disappointment very well Amna and Hassan it's necessary to talk about this issue

THANK YOU

[@injlakhan9663]

Films are basically the reflection of your society they should get this straight in their heads, Anyways if Zindagi tamasha couldn’t make it to cinemas , Sarmad should release this on internet like a web series !! We need content creators like Sarmad.

[@areeshakhan3427]

When true art suffers like this, thats when we fail as a nation to curate something worthy.

[@fari.saqib3139]

hi hassan amna u both superb its really shoking that movie was not released

Very depressing indeed...i hope and pray the clear intentions and hard work of these people pay off and everything works out for them...i hope all this drama serves them for the better and people get even more curious to go and watch this movie to give them amazing business....i really like sarmad

[@w3debugger]

I think we're matured enough to understand the characters and target of the movie by watching the trailer. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@anaizaqayyum3025]

Very informative video,i didn't exactly know what was the issue behind the movie's delay

[@personal_playlist9466]

Oh my God this whole episode is giving me deja vu.... The protests, cuts, sensor board it all eerily resembles the track of Padmavat. No matter how much we hate each other, it proves we're essentially the same. On the basis of trailer, rumours, herd mentality we're all too quick to jump the gun. Why can't we first see the movie and then pass our judgements (I'm speaking for both india and pak)? FYI guys Padmavat went on to do great business and earned praises. So let's hope that since Zindagi tamasha so far has taken the same track, I hope it will be loved by the audiences.

[@raniaashar4748]

Very well said hassan. Koi aisy film kiun banaye ga jo usay problems main dalay? Yaar! I really want it to release

[@eimankhan4124]

I personally want an uncut version of the film to be released either on amazon prime videos or Netflix. Pakistan mein unfortunately only urban ppl will understand t movie in the metro cities. Please tell Sarmad to releases it digitally for the overseas community.

Something Haute I didn’t mean to judge you guys, you both are the best thing on KZbin now a days and talking very sensible about dramas. Never mind you did not get what I mean, I was talking about the reflex action when someone serves you, not the interruption. Don’t worry keep on the great work you are doing. You and Amna are good people I know it in my heart.

[@ba-nz6mm]

What happens to kids in madrasahs hurts our sentiments ,hearts and soul too.they are no different humans than anyone else

[@saimasheikh847]

Definitely support Sarmad Khoosat- will support him by going to see the movie with my family when it is released.

[@alinabari9968]

Commercially, I think it would be best to release it either or Netflix or Amazon Prime. However, that should just be the last resort, because if the filmmakers give in to the pressure of a supposed "political party" once then that would set a precedent and would probably halt the revival of Pakistani Cinema. Also, if I am not wrong I think Amna mentioned that the film will probably be also be reviewed by the members of that supposed "political party". My question is what are there qualifications? Are they Islamic scholars? Do they have any degree in the subject from a reputable institution? Are they educated or sensible enough to understand the subtle nuances, which will probably in Sarmad Khoosat film? While I understand that we are Islamic nations and there are certain things which are objectionable or hurt the sentiments of conservatives we are also a democracy. I really think to have a certain education must be made mandatory to become a politician. Sorry for the rant but I never expected these kinds of things in 2020 and that too from PTI government.

[@AHMNZ]

I am definitely gonna watch this movie

[@qudsiakhan3905]

Hasan, sorry to say this but please let Amna talk. You keep interrupting her :(

[@rabianoureen5254]

[@zbajwa89]

Yaar hum becharay Pakistaniyon ki qismat main achi film dekhna hai he nai. Sarmad sahab ko chahiye ye film Amazon Prime aur Netflix pe release karain.

[@gulrukh8703]

One thing I never understand that why it has to be a Naat khawan? Why it is not a fashion designer or a film maker? This movie won an award somewhere as you guys mentioned because it was targeting an ISLAMIC religious person. Most important thing is that this world is not educated enough regarding Islam that they can separate Islam from human errors or mistakes that a muslim does. What happened with molvis? Now everybody make fun of them. Make jokes on them because of some bad molvis shown on tv and films. Non muslims target Islam when they talk about molvis or mullas. Now with Naat khawan, same thing is going to happen. In disguise of criticizing Naat khawans, the Personality of Prophet Muhammad (صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وسلم) will be targeted(نعوذ باللّٰہ).As I said, this world is not educated enough to separate Islamic teachings and a muslim's individual act of violence/shame. So, why not deal with these issues on a local level instead of showcasing it on an international level.

[@sarat8577]

Ok my comment is related to your week/weekend in review videos. Posting it here and not your weekend since I want you guys to read this. I look forward to your reviews and discussions sometimes more than the actual dramas you review. Absolutely love you both. Stylishly you are both very different and we all love Hasans wit and candor. But i also think Pakistani people in general have a very low tolerance for critique. I can’t imagine a show like SNL surviving 1 season in Pakistan because people will be immediately offended and take stuff personally. So yeah. I guess I am just saying that be a little cautious. You don’t want to burn bridges with these content creators. I, for example, agree a 100% with hasans views about IZN. But I am just an invisible person behind my phone and my livelihood will not be impacted my views. In light of the issues facing sarmad, I worry . Anyways, just saying this because I care about you guys.

[@SomethingHaute]

That’s actually very sweet of you - Hassan

[@ameenabukhari3486]

A naat khuwan is also a human n every human can make a mistake, we can't say anything about the movie even without watching it...but one thing m sure is tgis movie is gonna b a big hit because sarmad is one of the finest film maker of Pakistan, i am looking forward to watch this movie #isupportsarmadkhoosat

[@siddiquaalibhai6312]

Sarmad Sultan Khoosat is a sensitive director, his Manto was a 7 🌟 movie👌👍Zindagi Tamasha should be released, as we need to see the reality it captures! Looks like as a nation we are out to get male writers, directors/movie makers, the females get away by showing physical as well as emotional abuse, case in point Dr Sameera's treatment by her hubby & MIL in Rusvaee!

[@Hajmal]

Netflix is a great idea, I was also thinking about it

[@shifaali1997]

The situation is quite similar to what's happening in Alif. When you're trying to create meaningful content, nobody dares to help you. Really the audience doesn't want to watch typical JPNA type movies. This is the beginning of Pakistani cinema,content should be the top priority otherwise we'll just be a fake version of Bollywood. We the viewers should support Sarmad. Why can't we promote Zindagi Tamasha when we discussed a drama like mere pas tum ho so much which in my view is more discussed, less watched.

[@somyriz7832]

We are still not mature enough to understand the content and let the film release. If people will not like it it will b flopped .plz pakistani people talents should not be wasted .hatts off to both u for taking up with this topic .

[@iburhanraza]

You should watch "Aligarh" from Bollywood till they release "Zindagi Tamasha" they have same idea how people destroy person life without thinking ke woh kisi ke ghar mein jhak rahe hai maqsad dekho yaar

ہر معاشرے کی اپنی سوشل اقدار ہوتی اگر کوئی چیز ان اقدار کے خلاف ہوتی ہے تو پھر ایسی فلمز کو بین کر دینا چاہیے.

[@Aqsaa286]

There needs to be tolerance, true. But I think we need to come out of our ‘liberal bubble’. and see that we live in a country like Pakistan. The film touched ‘blasphemous’ subject in the initial trailer, which they later removed, hence the controversy. I mean why? Knowing it’s such a sensitive topic. Instead of venting about it later, I think we should keep all these factors in mind before making such movies. You are going to release it to the general public. Ofcourse there’s going to be a backlash.

[@user-pf3vz3rd9h]

There was a clip of a so called molvi threatening to frame him the protagonist for "blasphemy" which was a very brave attempt on Sarmad's part to show a mirror to this extremist/self righteous cult that exists in Pakistan. There was nothing offensive about it but to those who actually go around claiming to be God chosen authority in this country so please keep your sentiments to yourself. If there was something offensive people would have objected to it after watching it. Let people decide what they want to watch instead of TLP goons

[@Aqsaa286]

NotYourTherapist excuse me, but who are you to tell me to keep my sentiments to myself ? If you are going to touch a topic like blasphemy in Pakistan and expect everything to be ok, then you need to get out of your ‘liberal bubble’ and get a reality check. Knowing that it’s such a sensitive topic, why would you chose to make a movie around this topic.

[@ummama4480]

It's just too depressing to see the situation prevailing.

[@sehrishqazi3841]

Problem is, what Sarmad Khoosat is trying to show is real, so real that it scares the bejesus out of the mullahs. Hence the reaction. I hope to God it gets cleared and breaks all records

Government doesn’t want to deal with all the demonstrations on the streets against Sarmad and if some one shoots Sarmad then what? Don’t think Pakistani awam are brave enough to defend Sarmad. All activism is limited to drawing rooms and key boards. The religious political parties still have more street power. Btw love you two!! Always on point!

[@azraamjad2236]

Same happened with Malik n Aashir Azeem

[@anumsyed2604]

I hope you don't get backlash from some ignorant people. Pakistani society is suffocating. So anything remotely related to religion can be very problematic. People can take it negatively and claim it as blasphemy without any evidence. We can't ask any questions or give constructive criticism. Freedom of thought never existed in Pakistan.

[@ridhaibrar1402]

I don't even know what to say. All I know is that this should not be happening. I feel sad for Sarmad and the whole team. It's depressing to see how intolerant we are. We have no tolerance for ideas/opinions we do not agree with or rather we're just ignorant towards new ideas. Ya shaid yeh sirf jahalat hai. Jo bhi hai, ghalat hai.
