Manmarziyan in Pakistan: Selected Cinemas Screening Movie Despite Ban

After Pari, Veere Di Wedding, Mulk and Gold, yet another Bollywood movie ‘Manmarziyan’ gets banned in Pakistan due to “objectionable” scenes.

However, it seems that some cinemas in Karachi and Lahore are screening the movie regardless of the ban.

Here’s the Real Story Behind Ahsan Khan’s ‘British’ Accent on BBC

According to the News.pk, the film was given A Certificate by the Censor Boards of Sindh and Punjab. The movie was deemed inappropriate for screening by the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC). Chairman Danyal Gilani revealed that that the film violated censorship regulations and the board mutually decided to ban the movie.

However, Capri Cinema in Karachi is reportedly screening the movie for the audience.

Similarly, Cinegold Plex, Cinepax, Imperial Cinema, Cinepax Lake City, Imperial City, and the Arena Lahore are also showing the banned film in Punjab’s capital city.

Meanwhile, across the border, Manmarziyan has been made illegally available on torrent websites for free just two days after its release.

Centaurus Mall Islamabad

One of the most iconic destinations in Islamabad, The Centaurus Mall, has started to remove its illegal structure voluntarily.

For some time now, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) had been issuing notices to the Mall to remove the structure. However, they neglected it until now.

Prime Minister Imran Khan, after taking over the office, appointed a new CDA Administrator, who has already started and has carried out several encroachment activities throughout the city to remove unauthorized businesses and structures.

Pakistan's High Commissioner To London

Earlier this week, the High Commissioner of Pakistan to UK Sahibzada Ahmed Khan showed up allegedly drunk at IPPA Awards 2018. His video from the ceremony has now created an uproar on social media.

The clip of his speech went viral on the internet, raising many questions and concerns. During the award show, which was attended by a large number of Pakistani celebrities, Sahibzada Ahmed Khan was called on stage to announce the winner of an award category.

After announcing the name of the winner, he delivered inappropriate statements on the stage which raised many eyebrows.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1UyIpawmlg

The awards show was held at London’s O2 Arena on September 9 and was attended by a number of Pakistani celebrities.

Now another video of the commissioner has made its way on social media, in which Sahibzada Ahmed Khan has been spotted smoking during a public event held in the London High Commission.

It is to be noted that smoking is banned in Britain and it is illegal to smoke in all enclosed workplaces.

https://www.facebook.com/162413744404687/videos/331222927455397/

As soon as the videos went viral on the internet, people just did not resist to bash the High Commissioner of Pakistan.

Have a look at what people have to say.

Pakistani producer and actor Adil Murad took to his Facebook account and wrote:

A verrrry High commission of Pakistan at the IPPA awards recently in London. What a disgrace!

Another Pakistani filmmaker Shahzad Nawaz reacted to the video and wrote:

He has made a complete mockery of the Diplomatic Corps in general and Pakistani mission in specific.

Pakistani ace actor and director Kaiser Khan Nizamani wrote:

As soon as the Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi saw his speech through electronic media, he took notice of the irresponsible behavior on the stage. He also directed the High Commissioner to return to the homeland and submit his explanation.

Third Tier Helped to Overcome Decline in Tobacco Revenues: FBR

tobacco revenues

At the second meeting of Special Senate committee on tobacco tax revenues, the Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) has shared facts that a policy decision to introduce the third tier of excise duty on cigarettes was taken as a corrective action to arrest the declining trend in revenues from tobacco sector.

According to FBR, the third tier and unprecedented enforcement drive against illicit manufacturers had not only helped compliant tobacco sector regain its lost volume but also resulted in revenue growth of around 20 percent to Rs 88.5 billion during 2017-18 against Rs 74.1 billion collected during the same period last fiscal year. Interestingly, despite a sharp decline in their market share, the two multinational players contributed almost 98% of tax revenues from the tobacco sector. Meanwhile, illicit cigarette manufacturers have caused an estimated loss of over Rs 130 billion to the national exchequer in past five years.

Before the introduction of the third tier, revenue collections from tobacco industry stood at Rs 88.40 billion in the financial year 2013-14, Rs 102.88 billion in 2014-15 and Rs 114.19 billion in 2015-16. Thereafter, a sharp decline in revenue to Rs 74.1 billion was registered for the first time in many years in 2016-17 as the price gap between tax-evaded illegal cigarettes and legal tax-paid industry kept on increasing to a point where most of the smokers shifted their consumption to the tax evaded cigarettes being manufactured in Mardan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K).

The second meeting of the special committee, headed by Senator Kalsoom Parveen, was attended by Senators Dilawar Khan, Dr. Ashok and Azam Swati. The FBR Chairman, members of civil society and industry representatives were also invited to the session.

Industry representatives further explained that prior to the introduction of the third tier, the market share of illicit cigarettes had surged to 40 percent. This share was estimated by Nielsen, a market research agency that is well reputed globally and could be validated by FBR through an independent survey or audit of the tobacco sector.

During the meeting, there was also a discussion on the menace of cigarette smuggling that was hurting the local exchequer.  It was highlighted that there is a wrong assumption that all local manufacturers are tax compliant and there is no illicit cigarette production from them. This contradicts facts about raids, multiple seizure reports by FBR over the past two years.

The two-pronged strategy of FBR showing consistency in tobacco taxation policy and unprecedented enforcement efforts to maintain the momentum in fight against illicit cigarettes in Pakistan has decreased the market share of tax evaded brands from 40 percent to 35 percent, which shows that authorities are moving in the right direction to curb menace of illicit trade and boost government revenues.

Pakistan to Introduce 5G Technology in 2019!

Here’s the Real Story Behind Ahsan Khan’s ‘British’ Accent on BBC

Ahsan khan

Ahsan Khan is that versatile Pakistani superstar who has a huge portfolio of successful projects to his credits.

He has created ripples in Pakistan’s entertainment industry with his iconic roles in Vasl, Dastaan, Udaari, and Mirat Ul Uroos. Not to forget, he has made his mark on silver screen too with movies like Ghar Kab Aao Gay and Chupan Chupai.

It’s not just his debonair looks that make his fans fall in love with him. Khan’s excellence in acting and down-to-earth nature adds to his charm. One is compelled to watch him and appreciate his acting trysts.

Ahsan Khan is Being Loved by this Bollywood Celebrity [Watch Video]

Recently, Ahsan Khan was in London to attend the International Pakistan Prestige Awards (IPPA) 2018. So much so, he even made us proud by bagging the ‘Star Of The Year’ award.

As he is an actor with powerful opinions and strong views, Khan was interviewed by BBC about his take on PEMRA’s warning to Pakistani dramas.

Always representing Pakistan in a dignified manner, the hero spoke his heart out how important it is to educate the masses on sensitive subjects.

Social media reacted to his video in the most shocking way. It was heartbreaking to see that the actor was ridiculed for flaunting a ‘fake’ British accent. Meanwhile, his thought-provoking message was ignored and somewhere lost amongst all the hate he received.

For those who are unaware, Ahsan is a British born Pakistani. He was raised in U.K, received his early education in the West and was 12 years old when he came to Pakistan.  As a young student in Lahore, his accent was always made fun of.

After all these years, he still frequently travels to London as his family resides there. So no way Khan was feigning an accent while talking to BBC.

Guess it was a surprise for Pakistani media as they must be hearing him talk in British for the first time.

However, it is a huge responsibility on our end to not make a mimicry out of stars we love so much. These celebrities represent us worldwide and add to the worth of Pakistan. If we, being Pakistanis will troll and judge them, outsiders won’t hesitate to shame our icons either.

We love you, Ahsan Khan! More power to the heartthrob.

Finally, the big reveal was made by that brand and became the first in Pakistan to introduce the idea to the nation.

Drone Delivery

Keep your passports ready as we take off into the unknown. If you spot a drone flying around in your neighborhood, please don't try to take it down, it could be someone's lunch!#Dominos #DroneDelivery #GreatnessFromDominos

Pakistanis have the most hilarious reaction to this new innovation!

However, is this actually more efficient than the traditional method of delivery?

With foodies and their growing demand for speedy delivery, the eatery aimed to make it all the easier with an instant collection of food.

Drone service will surely defeat the challenges of long-mile deliveries, logistics costs, and traffic delays. Research reveals that it is also environmentally friendly and efficient.

However, while a delivery bike or a truck can carry hundreds of pizzas, Domino’s drone service will surely fail in transporting meals ordered in large quantity. Also, since the element of a delivery guy will be minimized, so would the Cash on Delivery option.

What’s more, they are an expensive mode of transportation with a low battery life. Operating drones is a tricky task as they require deep technical familiarity. Harsh weather will also come into play while using the device.

Domino’s Pizza first introduced the service in New Zealand with the world’s ultimate pizza drone delivery.

“The use of drones is the next stage of the company’s expansion into the artificial intelligence space and gives us the ability to learn and adopt new technologies in the business,” stated Domino’s Group CEO Don Meij.

The pursuit of technological innovation is happening all over the world. There is a growing interest from global players to invest in this revolution. Uber is already experimenting with Drone technology while Amazon Prime is already delivering goods with a drone.

Mercedes-Benz has also announced a partnership with Silicon Valley Drone Startup Matternet to develop an integrated Van/Drone delivery system.

Will the concept work in Pakistan? Let us know in the comments below.

The Reason of the Alleged Ban

The report by Gulf Daily News revealed that as many as 50 forged Pakistani passports issued by the Pakistani Embassy in Bahrain have been discovered by immigration officials.

However, in another report, Pakistani passport holders in Bahrain are being demanded to visit their nearest police station with official documents for fingerprint verification.

A 30-year-old banker living in Bahrain for less than two years stated:

I got a call from the Muharraq Police Station two weeks ago asking me to go with my original passport and CPR for verification

I went there to find at least 30 Pakistanis waiting in queue, and one by one we were asked if the documents were original.

All Pakistanis are being summoned for this verification and I also learn that soon a no-objection-certificate will be issued after the verification.

The matter is now being escalated on social media so that relevant authorities can take urgent note of the matter and resolve it for Pakistanis living in Bahrain, legally.
