Recently, Jamal Shah appeared on the Next Media Network’s podcast, hosted by Umar Sani. In the podcast, he called out India’s unrealistic depiction of violence and war fantasies.
Talking about it, Jamal Shah said, “I don’t do projects which have no lesson or have unrealistic violence, and whatever violence you show in dramas or films should be real and justified. The consequences of that violence should also be very realistic. In Pakistan, there is no city where unjustified violence is happening like it happens in India’s South movies, where a man comes and starts firing in the streets, and that firing throws 30 to 50 men hundreds of feet away. This is not reality; it is an exaggeration. See what happened to India in the recent war with Pakistan—it exposed India’s fantasy inspired by South films culture. How can a 70 year old Rajinikanth be so powerful that when he hits his foot on the ground, twenty people fly away from him? It’s okay if you show it once or twice, but such formulas don’t work forever.”
He further added that he is fond of music and used to listen to many songs, including a few favourites from Indian singers, which he has now stopped listening to after the India–Pakistan conflict. He said, “My favourite singer was Himmat Kumar, I used to like many of his songs especially Tum Pukar Lo, but I have stopped listening to Indian music and have also stopped watching Indian movies after the recent conflict.” Here is the link to the video:
