1989

Double version films..
Almost 60% of population speak Punjabi language as their mother-tongue in Pakistan. Therefore Punjabi films make more business than Urdu films, but due to two small circuits the largest film company in Pakistan, Evernew Pictures found a fantastic way to earn more money, they produced a Punjabi film "Madam Bawri" and dubbed film dialogs and re-recorded all film songs in Urdu and released it as a "double version" film - in Punjabi in Punjab and in Urdu in the rest of the country - the result was 25% increased film business in Karachi circuit...!

Nangi Talwar
(Punjabi - Colour) 		Released on:
October 27th, 1988
This film was a copy of an Indian Punjabi film "Wohti hath Soti", ironically, Indian film was also a copy of a Pakistani Urdu film "Aaj aur Kall" (1976), which was a re-make of film "Pegham" (1964).
"Wohti hath Soti" was one of the few colour Indian Punjabi films with some standard and quality but almost all songs in this Indian film were copied from old Pakistani films composed by Baba G.A. Chishti, fx
  • Masood Rana's street song "Sajnaa ne Buhe agge chik tann leyi" (Bharia Mela) was sung by Mohindar Kapoor.
  • Masood Rana's other song in "Babul da Wehra" (1968) "Ik Dhee laikhan haari..." was sung by Mohammad Siddiq
  • and a comedy song in film "Sheran di Jori" sung by Ahmad Rushdi and Masood Rana "Kidroon teen aawan main kidroon toon jaawan..." was sung by Asha Bhonslay as "Sub noo nachawan main sub noo nachawan".
Musician Wajahat Attre copied and recorded Asha's song in Madam Noor Jehan voice but she was not able to sing like Asha.
