Society Girl (1976)

7/10

Sangeeta’s searing social critique is considered a huge Lollywood classic. By some inexplicable accident, this film is regarded as a rare classic of Pakistani cinema and spoken of in glowing superlatives to this day.

Inteha (1999)

3.5/10

Insan Aur Gaddha (1975)

5.5/10

Attempted Fable cum satire about Man’s inhumanity misses the mark. Lollywood’s version of Raj Kapoor (looks, if not talent-wise), Kemal wrote, produced, directed and starred in this ambitious attempt at social satire.
