5 things you should know about upcoming film Thora Jee Le
Pakistan will see its first film of 2017 with the release of Rafay Rashidi's Thora Jee Le on January 20.
The film is the story of college friends experiencing the ups and downs of real life. The friends, played by a cast of first-time film actors including model Rizwan Ali Jaffri and TV actor Bilal Abbas, grow closer and fall apart — but the end message is one that "the youth of Pakistan needs to hear as we move towards a positive, progressive Pakistan," says Rafay.
Here's 5 things you should know about Thora Jee Le:
1) The film is inspired by the concept of six degrees of separation.
In a chat with Images, Rafay shared, "I had shot a promo two years ago titled Six, which dealt with the idea of '7 years of friendship lasting a lifetime' and the concept of six degrees of separation. I merged the two together, and created seven characters and their journey of life."
In the film, we'll see the friends reconnect when one of them is met with "a 'certain' incident".
2) It's a film for young people, but that doesn't mean the characters are all the same.
