Indie Films in Pakistan
Although Pakistan’s contemporary film industry is not that grandiose, indie films are not that common either. Indie films tend to rely on strong scripts and acting rather than astronomical production values.
Often these indie movies do not usually cast industry big-wigs in order to work around their limited budgets. Surprisingly that’s not the case with Sakina Samo’s Waiting / Intezaar which has cast big names like Samina Ahmed, Khalid Ahmed, and Adnan Jaffar. It also cast National Academy of Arts’ Raza Ali Abid and model Kaif Ghaznavi.
