Maula Jatt - Punjabi Movie




Super-hit Punjabi film which forever changed the Punjabi film industry in Pakistan. Maula Jatt/Jutt translates literally to "Lord of The Jutts" however a better translation would be the "Lord's Jatt"
The film is an unofficial sequel to the 1975 film. Wehshi Jatt itself was inspired by an Urdu play "Gandasa" written by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi which depicts a bloody feud in Gujranwala against the backdrop of rural Punjab.
The panache and script here elevated it from the typical blood feud story of rural Punjab into an often quoted film that traversed the typical demarcation of film as entertainment only. It managed to touch a nerve and identify with not only its time but the psyche of the average Pakistani.
Following the settlement of Maula's family feud in Wehshi Jatt (in case you did not see it he wiped out the entire male blood line save a solitary young grandson), Maula has renounced violence. Makha Natt is caught trying to kidnap a girl. Everybody she turns to for help is scared of Makha except Maula Jatt's sister- in-law Taani.
She calls Maula for help and lo and behold he arrives and decrees that if Makha wants to avoid the fate of being killed by his 'Gandasa' he should marry the very girl he has dishonoured and also marry his sister off to his friend Moodha (for the lolz).
When Makha returns home to plot his revenge, his sister Daro incensed upon hearing how much of a eunuch her brother has become kills him on the spot and has his body thrown to the vultures.
The Natt clan now try to avenge the humiliation that Maula Jutt has caused them while Maula Jutt keeps on antagonising them by reminding them that he will come to collect their sister as his friends bride :)
The film revels in it's use of wit, grand statements of masculinity but above all in the celebration of the vindication of masculinity through violence.

Classic quotes
Nawan aaye eiy Soniye (Are you new here, handsome?)
Jey Mauley nuu Maula ney maarey tey maula nein marda (Unless a Maula kills another Maula, he cannot be killed)

HEER RANJHA - Punjabi Movie




The Film Story

Dheedo (Ejaz) was son of a wealthy man Moju Chodhary from Ranjha tribe in Takht Hazara, Jhang district in Punjab, Pakistan. He loved a beautiful girl Heer (Firdous) from Syal tribe and accepted the job as a cow herder for her parents father Chuchak (Najmul Hassan) and mother Malki (Salma Mumtaz). Heer was mesmerized by Ranjha's flute playing and loved him as well. They begin meeting secretly for a while. Heer's uncle Kaido (Ajmal) discovered them and in an effort to avoid any shame due to class or cast differences, the family hastily arranged her marriage to a wealthy man Saida (Munawar Zarif) from Khera tribe. Ranjha was disappointed and left the material world. He became a Jogi to seek the spirutal composure and traveled around in deserts and jungles. Finally he found Heer in a village, where she was unsettled and never accepted Saida as her husband. Again they begin meeting secretly and Heer got help from her sister-in-law, Sehti (Zamurrad) who had the same fate and was in love with a man Murad Baloch (Aqeel). Both escaped with their lovers but were caught by the soldiers of Maharaja (Ilyas Kashmiri) who sent them to the jail. After a miracle as a fire erupted, the Maharaja accepted their true love and decided them to go happily together. But it was a shame and a defeat for Heer's family and they poisoned her. Ranjha was shocked and died on her grave.
