KARACHI: Calling Pakistan's recent cinematic successes a revival of cinema does not seem to cut it for Operation 021 director Jamshed Mahmood who dubs the growth a “complete reconstruction of the film industry”.
Speaking to Dawn in an email interview, Jamshed Mahmood — popularly known as Jami — pointed out that even though the industry presented a good outer view, it lacked the resources needed to produce basic films let alone high-end cinema.
