Meera - The Lollywood Goddess

Detta är en ren B film, en melodrama thriller som liknar Film Noir och som förstås är mest intressant för
sin kvinnliga stjärna, vilken är ingen mindre än Pakistans stora Diva, Lollywood's stolthet Meera.
Lollywood, den pakistanska motsvarigheten till Bollywood efter filmstaden Lahore.
Ja, jag är medveten om att jag troligen är den enda personen inom sveriges gränser som är intresserad av
Meera och hennes korta bollywood karriär...... men ändå, hon förtjänar att uppmärksammas tycker jag.

Jag såg "Kasak" 1a gg 2005 och sen 2a gg 2010 och mitt omdöme stod kvar, filmen var inte alls bra, men ...
Meera (f. 1976 i Lahore som Irtaza Rubab) var och är ännu en fotomodell av superklass i sitt hemland
Pakistan, men hon har också varit sitt lands största kvinnliga filmstjärna och Scandal Beauty.
Hon ser ut som en vackrare variant av vår egen Carola och hon skapar skandalrubriker en masse. Är hon
då en stor aktris ? No, inte av vad jag sett henne i, hennes båda Hindi filmer, och hennes Bollywood
karriär blev också kort.

Hon bemöttes av mycket spott och spe i Mumbai (det verkar som hinduer hatar allt pakistanskt och
detta även om det kommer i form av en skön kvinna som Meera), inte ens sexy curves rår på hindu
nationalism. She was also met with wrath in Pakistan, that she took the forbidden step to Bollywood
(inte ens sexy curves rår på urdu nationalism).
After acting in a mass of Pakistani movies the gorgeous and charismatic Meera debuted in the slick
hindi neo-noir thriller Nazar (read more about this film on my Bollywood Film Page). A film that was
the first India-Pakistan co-production in about 50 years. But the film caused a big scandal in her home
land because of a long kissing scene between Meera and Ashmit Patel.

Above: Meera and The Singer Lucky Ali

In Kasak Meera goes full throttle in her role portraying a rotten slut and Femme Fatale which makes
this film interesting for a Psychotronic Film lover as me.
She plays the nurse Anjali and in her first scene she's rolling in with swinging hips and it looks like
she could explode out of her too tight clothing any time. The Voluptuos Meera.
OK, she's not much of an actress in her one-dimensional role but she deserved praise for her strong
physical appearance and her impact on the film screen.

The Story:

Middle-aged loser bachelor Amar (fine singer Lucky Ali) works at a hospital as a male nurse, and he
inherits a big sum of money from one of his patients. But, at his workplace there's also the beautiful
nurse Anjali (Meera) and she seduces him without any problems and makes him marry her.
She takes his money, dumps him and humiliates him, i.a. accuses him in public of being impotent
and forces him to listen when she's having sex with her lover. But still, he loves her.
Desperate Mad Love, that's Film Noir.

Amar leaves the city and starts working as a bodyguard for Captain Singh (played by Punet Issar,
maybe best known for almost having Amitabh Bachchan killed in the filming of Manmohan Desai's
1983 "Coolie"). He decides to get rich again, at any cost, so he can retrieve the mocking and in love
with money Anjali, and there's a Twist at the end.
Lucky Ali AKA Maqsood Mehmood is a well known indian singer and he has acted in some films
and he's perfectly OK in this film. Meera is also OK but direction and script could've been better

The film in anamorphic widescreen with hindi audio 5.1 DD and with english subtitles, and Lucky
Ali is singing in some of the songs too
