Dear Fans

They both will always be missed but will always be with us in spirit. We thank them both for offering EP their support for future.

The film is based on a love triangle between Ahsan Khan, Meera and another actor yet to be revealed. Centered on the theme of Sufism, Khan explains that the film intends to show that when a person fails in the pursuit of worldly endeavors and passions, they start to question their reason for existence and start to struggle for a higher love. Shaan and Saima will have guest appearance in the movie. Ishq Khuda is extensively shot in the war-torn and flood-affected region of Swat. It is written by Saleem Zuberi and Pervez Kaleem.

The movie is distributed on global level by IMGC and Encyclomedia PR is handling its Public Relations.

The Jamshoro based Sufi-Rock Band, The Sketches, takes on board the music maestros Aamir Zaki, Gumby and Faraz Anwar for its upcoming second album.

The Sketches who has showed its commitment towards music and passion to revive their native language, is now all set to complete its 2nd Album. The second album, the name of which is still not finalized, will feature so many great musicians working along side The Sketches. As per our information, the recordings for The Sketches second album is in full swing and the band has the plan to make it as big as possible.

To make it big, the band has roped in the guitar maestro, Aamir Zaki, who is considered a big yet under rated name in Pakistan’s Music Industry. We have been told that Zaki will be doing at least two tracks with The Sketches. The tracks will be based on the poetry of Shah Latif Bhittai.

Other than this, The Sketches guys have also been hanging out with ace music producer and drummer Gumby, and two of the most Kick-ass Guitarists of Pakistan, Faraz Anwar and Nabeel Nihal Chishty. Reportedly, they have also played guitars in The Sketches new album.

This is not just done, as The Sketches confirm us that they have a lot more to reveal which they will only do once things proceed in the right direction.

We wish them best of luck and appreciate their consistency for producing and releasing stuff back to back in the industry, that does not pay back well.

Stay tuned !

Pakistani Pop and Rock Band Raeth will make its Bollywood debut in upcoming movie “Marksheet”.

The band Raeth, which got popular in Pakistan with hits like “Bhula Do” and “Waada”, will now be composing a song for a Bollywood Movie. According to the latest news reports from India, Raeth Band will be composing a song for the film Marksheet, directed by Rakesh Ranjan Kumar and starring Delhi boy Imran Zahid.

The three-members band consisting of Wajhi Farooqui, Hassan Farabi and Sunny Ghansham are excited about their bollywood Project. While talking to media, they said:

“We are really excited about entering Bollywood through a project like Marksheet. Making music for us is a collective effort. Often you find that only playback is given importance even when a band is taken aboard. But the makers of the film are not limiting our capability and have given us a chance to perform together with our original sound which is a welcome step for musicians”

Now this seems like a good opportunity for the band, as even if the film is not of some really big budget but as we learned above, makers are not limiting their talent. It is also being said that movie will be made under the guidance of Mahest Bhatt.

The song by Raeth will be shot soon in Delhi University, with students of the campus.

Waqar Khan (aka Wacky) announced his decision on Facebook in these words:

Goodbye ‘Entity Paradigm’ and good luck with the upcoming video. 12 years of interesting times, it is time say ADIOS!!

This new development suggests that the band has somehow reached to a saturation point, where some of its members now believe that it would not make any progress further. Only an year back, the band was reunited after a long break-up. Their come back with a patriotic music video Shor Macha was a BLAST! Now as the band was moving towards completing its second album, and releasing a new video, this news has come up.

It is worth mentioning here that Waqar Khan recently got engaged and his decision might be the result of his personal committments. We can’t say much but this gonna seriously hurt the credibility of the band, as one by one each member is leaving it.

We are still looking forward to EP’s new video to see what this “Ajab Tamasha” is all about.

Annie Khalid, to whom many of us bash for no good reasons, looks (apparently for the first time) very good performing on an international platform. She was introduced in the show as being “Pakistani Artist” and then she was appeared on stage with “all-boys-band – A1″ . The song “Just 3 Words” also felt like a good track and their performance was also quite energetic.

Do check it our yourself :

We believe Annie should look for her career more on international level as she has not been completely fit into Pakistani Music Scene. We will feel more proud when she continues to do collaborations with international musicians and perform on international shows.

Here is my “Just 3 Words” for Annie:

” Move On Baby! “
