The upcoming Pakistani film Qulfee, starring Shahroz Sabzwari and Saeeda Imtiaz, has found itself at the center of controversy even before its official release. The film, which has been making headlines for its music and promotional material, is now facing severe backlash from fans due to its “cringy” visuals and overall presentation.

Shahroz Sabzwari – A Talented Actor with Bold Choices

Shahroz Sabzwari is a well-known name in the Pakistani entertainment industry. With a career spanning numerous hit dramas such as Deewar-e-Shab, Nand, Hassad, Teri Raza, Mana Ka Gharana, Dilruba, and Teri Raah Main, he has proven his acting prowess time and again. However, his recent foray into films has been met with criticism, particularly due to his styling and the film’s overall aesthetics.

Qulfee – A Film Under Fire

The upcoming film Qulfee features Shahroz Sabzwari and Saeeda Imtiaz in lead roles. The film’s songs, recently released by the production team, have stirred controversy on social media. One of the songs, sung by the legendary Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and directed by Wali Hamid Khan, was expected to win the audience’s hearts, but instead, it has left fans unimpressed.

The teaser of Qulfee showcases the actors in flashy outfits and intense expressions, which many viewers have found unappealing. Fans have criticized the film’s overall look, calling it outdated and overly dramatic. The backlash intensified after the release of the first few visuals, with many pointing out the lack of creativity in styling and production.

Fans’ Reactions – A Wave of Criticism

Social media platforms, especially Instagram and Twitter, have been flooded with negative comments. Here’s what some users had to say:

• “We have been making absolutely beautiful dramas, why are our films a disaster?”
• “Why do you make films when you know they will flop?”
• “When you order SRK and Aishwarya Rai from Daraz.”
• “Why have you made such an obscene film that too with these kid actors?”
• “How many Bollywood songs have you mixed to create this one?”

Many users have also criticized Shahroz Sabzwari’s dressing and styling, calling it unnecessary and out of place. The backlash suggests that Pakistani audiences expect more refined and high-quality productions rather than exaggerated storytelling and forced glamour.

Is Pakistani Cinema Losing Its Way?

The criticism surrounding Qulfee raises important questions about the direction of Pakistani cinema. While the drama industry has consistently delivered quality content, the film industry is struggling to produce movies that resonate with audiences. The lack of originality, poor execution, and weak storylines often result in films being rejected by the public.

The reaction to Qulfee is a reminder that audiences today expect strong scripts, good performances, and high production value. Filmmakers need to focus on storytelling and originality rather than trying to mimic Bollywood or rely on superficial glamour.

As Qulfee gears up for release, it remains to be seen whether the film will manage to win over audiences or if it will be another addition to the list of Pakistani films that failed to impress.
