“Rafina” by Sabiha Sumar’s Re-titled as “Good Morning Karachi”

After a decade, it seems like the Pakistan Film Industry is getting back with movies like Main Hoon Shahid Afridi and Waar. No doubt that 2013 has been a great year for the film industry and apart from the success, directors and writers were able to do a lot more innovative starting with the first ever Pakistani sports film and the all ever house full Waar.  Moving on from the action genre, Pakistani film makers are now coming with intensity and ambitious with quite a rare topic for a Muslim society.

Rafina re-titled as Good Morning Karachi is the first ever fashion movie of Pakistan. The movie has been mostly shot in Akhter Colony of Karachi. The story revolves around a middle class woman Rafina (whom the film was named on in the first place). Played by Amna Allyas, Rafina is a strong and determined woman who wants to establish herself as a successful fashion model within the boundaries of Pakistani Fashion Industry.

The film is to make our youth realize about their dreams and how much it can be awful when comes to practical life. As Rafina will show the contemporaneousness, the lead role Arif (played by Yasir Aqueel) will make a revolutionary change with his political status. Directed by Sabiha Sumar and written by Malia Scotch Marmo, Good Morning Karachi has been rated 7.5 on IMBD since its Asian Nation Premier.

Good Morning Karachi is expected to be Sumar’s another great project after Khamosh Pani (Released in 2003) won many awards due to its women centric theme as Sabiha`s stories always posses much of women based themes as she have worked with many female writers in the past. Well all we can do is wish Sabiha good luck with her upcoming Movie as it is the first ever Fashion based realistic movie been made in our country.
