  • Bandar Road Par - A short Film
    Stretching from port Keemari to Guru Mandir, Bandar isn't just a part of Karachi's cartography ; It is a part of every Karachiite's DNAscape.
    As the main thoroughfare, Raah-e-Bandar was built during the Talpur regime to connect the port to where caravans would come, now called the Serai Quarters. Remnants of Muslim Dharamshala, caravan serai, designed by James Stratchen, popular known as Molvi Musafirkhana, still stands witness to the historic fact.
    The grand dame of roads is lined with iconic institutions such as Radio Pakistan, Narayan Jagannath Vaidya (NJV) School, Dow Medical University, KMC building, Khakiqdina Hall, Denso Hall, Karachi Port Trust Building, City Court, Mama Parsi School and others. Today, housed in majestic buildings built in colonial style, these relics of the Raj tell tales of the glorious past of this road which was bathed every day early in the morning. Trams used to chug along at leisurely speed where today smoke emitting busses and massive traffic jams give nerve-bursting stress to citizens.
    Modern bad taste, over population, criminal administrative negligence, ignorance of history, horridly increasing traffic, trash littering citizens, greed of construction mafia... The list of factors ruining Bandar Road's splendour is longer than the epochal avenue itself.
    If buildings and roads could speak, today the once magnificent quarter would be heard lamenting, crying, reminiscing its prime and glory. Because it isn't merely a road-- it's a living, pulsating, grand institution.
    After years and years of pondering over going back to his one true love - film, his actual profession- Jaffer Hasan took the leap with a concept he'd been harbouring for years.
    Then finding the right people who have the same burning desire and love for film was a big challenge. Enter Basmah and Ahmed, taking their cue from the emotion and vision behind this.
    The result is this beautiful, nostalgic short film: a little love back to the city-- one street at a time.
