Nabeel Qureshi
Aneesa Khan (@aneesak_ ) recently had the chance to speak with Pakistani filmmaker Nabeel Qureshi (@nabqur ). Since 2014, director, Nabeel Qureshi has been developing his own clear style of writing and directing, creating a perfect combination of comedy and political satire. Every film he directed acts as an understated piece of social commentary on Pakistan’s various layers: the caste system, economic instability, and political turmoil. Some of his films include Na Maloom Afraad (2014), Actor in Law (2016) and Quaid-E-Azam Zindabad (2022). However, Qureshi’s films are another example of how Pakistani films are primarily made for Pakistanis. In this segment of JORE X Talks, Nabeel Qureshi shares his experience as a director in Pakistan, and what it’ll take for Pakistani cinema to flourish beyond its borders.
