The analysis over-intellectualizes standard commercial tropes, framing basic audience manipulation as a profound strategic breakthrough. It is a classic example of industry insiders dressing up a predictable formula in the language of high-level expertise.

Psycho Official Trailer | Psycho Trailer Review | Zombeid Song Review | Shaan | Fahad Mustafa| MeeraAdded:
Come on, how did you like it? My favorite Johnra is my courtroom drama. So I am eagerly waiting for Psycho and of course I will watch the first show on Eid. So I have also stopped taking tea. The tea is for ₹550, sir. They give Pepsi or that for ₹400. Give me a drink.
Plain popcorn is ₹600. If you take the caramel ones, those nachos are worth ₹5000 more.
So this is an excess. The water bottle is probably a two and a half bottle of water. Yes, Assalamu Alaikum, Nazreen, you are watching GH Entertainment, I am Zaheer Ahmed, Abid Merchant sahab is a film producer and we often sit and do programs with us, we also talk about films, in the past two past videos we talked about two trailers, the trailer of Psycho because it came out yesterday, let's talk about it, a couple of songs have also been released, we will talk about that as well, but let's start with Psycho, it's Shaan 's film, its trailer was launched on Sunday, Aa Merchant sahab was also invited, I do n't know if he went or not, let's ask him Aaa Merchant sahab, thank you very much sir, for coming, first of all tell me, sir, what is the feedback, how many people are there regarding the launch, I don't know what happened, Aaalaikum Zaheer sahab, Salam Alaikum Nazreen, no, I did not go yesterday because it was Sunday and the trailer was launched in the evening, so unfortunately I could not go, but I am sure the public must have come, I saw some videos, some reels people have posted on Facebook, Instagram etc. Some Safi ladies had put up a lot of people but I don't know what actually happened there, trailer yes, you had sent me the link last night, I saw it in the morning, how did you like the trailer sir, I am mixed, I am a little biased because it is a court room drama, so I am very fond of watching court room dramas, so I do n't know, I felt a little bit like the trailer in the trailer, I did not feel like the trailer much.
Mix I would say has some cuts in it. The transition has not been done properly. The trailer cut that has been done is probably done in a slightly old-fashioned way. The way trailers of Indian films used to be cut once upon a time. In a different way, it would probably have been better to cut it because I didn't see it in the flow. Flow was not visible in the trailer. One good thing is that the trailer has not revealed many things, so this is a plus sign.
Yes, this is what I was actually saying that maybe their objective was to not disclose the story at all, there should be suspense, there should be curiosity, maybe this too, right now I am not able to understand what the film is about, yes this much is known that it is a courtroom drama, there is a judge, there is a lawyer, there is a female lawyer, their love story is also visible, like from the song which has been released, it is visible that the love interests are Sonia Hussain and Shaan Shahid, so the trailer did not give away anything more than this, which according to me is a very positive sign, that well sir, you must have felt one more thing when Shabbir Jaan Galban is telling Javed Sheikh sahab that if your son did not take this case and now son, that is, Meera, is Javed Sheikh's wife, I don't know whether she is the first wife or the second, because in the song, Javed Sheikh sahab who is singing the song like Amitabh Bachchan, it is also visible in it that hold I do n't know so and so, but is Meera also his step mother, second wife as well So what if it is Shaan's, Javed Shaikh seems to be playing the role of Shaan's father, this will be known only after watching the film.
I felt something like this in the trailer, we can only guess that Javed Shaikh is playing the role of Shaan's father, it is not known whether Meera is his biological mother or step mother, so now after watching the film, it is a good thing that these things have not been revealed, so I am more interested in watching the film, I was already interested in watching the film and its reason is a court room drama. The second one is Meera.
Thirdly, there is Sonia Hussain who is a good emerging actress. Now if you look at our Pakistani cinema, Sonia Hussain had acted very well in films like Deemak.
Before that, even before the video started, I was talking to someone about this that if this Sonia film becomes a hit, then Deem Termite has been a hit before this, although the film Azaadi and Abu Aaliya's Dadal were not such hits, but in Dadal, Sonia's acting was very appropriate, very good, very good, okay, yes, the film is definitely becoming a hit, but if we look at the acting, definitely Shaan has his own following, he is a good actor and I hope he will maintain his standards, the star power is complete in this film, Meera Shaan Shahid Javed Sheikh Sonia [sound of clearing throat] Hussain, well, you saw less of Meera in the trailer, I mean, the media's curiosity about Meera is absolutely intact because if you look at the trailer, I feel that Meera has a main character in this film, although it has been shown in the trailer, but I feel that Meera has her own main character in this film and Meera will get a lot of screen time.
Well sir, the way you see, you have developed a test. Especially the Hollywood movies that you watch like Devil's Advocate and many other big Board Room movies, but one thing you should watch is that keeping in mind the taste of the Pakistani audience, you should definitely like it. For this type of treatment, special tests are also required. A special audience is also needed.
So keeping the Pakistani audience in mind, what do you think, if this scene is to be kept intact, to keep the audience interested because if there are long courtroom scenes, then sometime it is possible that he can fight back, so what would be the way to keep it intact, Sir, this method seems very good to you, from the song that has been released and even from what has been put in the trailer, a romantic interest has been put in it, a love story has also been put in the film, so I am sure that they must have put this after careful consideration that maybe our audience may not like only courtroom drama, so there is definitely a romantic angle in it. Although now you will see that I do not watch TV dramas as I do not get time to watch TV dramas as I am watching so many movies etc. but I recently had a drama called Case Number Nine, a court room drama, it was very good sir, it was very good and I watched its entire 32 episodes in one sitting, I watched 32 episodes in 20 hours sitting and sir, do you know what was the special thing about it, that till date I have never seen such a beautiful court room and it was shown in such a beautiful manner through camera work, the camera work was amazing sir and the camera work in it was amazing like that of films, everything was amazing and the most amazing thing was the acting of Faisal Qureshi in it, Faisal Qureshi proved that there is no bigger TV actor than him in Pakistan at this time.
Because it was such a difficult role. It was such a difficult role which he played so beautifully and with such ease that your interest remained intact throughout the drama. I am telling you, I have watched that drama for 20 hours without doing it continuously, so you can imagine how interesting it was.
As I said in the beginning, I have my own bias towards courtroom dramas, so my favorite courtroom drama is Psycho, so I am eagerly waiting for Psycho and of course I will go to watch the first show of it on Eid.
Okay, and secondly, let me tell you that as we have just talked about, English films obviously do not have songs, it has its own audience, here the audience comes from all kinds, so I feel that songs can also play an important role in it for that audience who somewhere or the other feels bored in this courtroom or wants entertainment value in it, so now you see, a song of Javed Sheikh and Meera has also been included, that is also value, I liked it very much, by the way brother, I liked it very much, I also liked it, so you see, I feel that The film has been made thoughtfully and it has a value package of entertainment [sound of clearing throat] it seems to be a complete package to me because I liked the colours as well, the colour grading of the trailer was also good, I liked the cinematography, so I think let's see, we don't know much yet, the story hasn't been revealed yet, so it's a very good thing, we will wait for it, it is a matter of 8-9 days, it is releasing in theatres next Wednesday and and good sir, one thing is that generally you must have seen that when AAY Films releases songs, like the songs of Punjab Nahi Jaungi, they release songs of one and a half minutes each, this song is four minutes, yes they have released a four minute song, but it has a lot of repeated scenes because when the teaser song is repeated, everything is repeated, everything is repeated, so now I don't know whether the song plays as a background in the film or the entire song is picturised in the film. So this is also one thing, I feel that they have added repeated scenes in it to maintain curiosity because the story board of the song will not be what is visible here.
But this time you saw that Big India also did the same thing. The songs inside Dhurandhar Revenge were released in this manner.
All the songs that were released on YouTube were subtitled and they had not uploaded many scenes from the film.
Well, do you know what it is Abid Bhai, I mean, call me being a creator, being a journalist or being a film actor, which I watch with great interest. Whatever I feel, I immediately tell it.
When I heard the song in it, which is a Fadil Khan song, you do n't follow Indian films that much. A Salman Khan film had come in which there was a song Surili Aankhiyon Wale Teri Aankhiyon Se, this was also by Rafat Ali Khan and a film Kalyug had come in which Kalyug was a very famous film, there was a song in it Tujhe Dekh Dekh Jeena Achha Ye, after listening to this song I got the feeling of both of them, I am not saying that it is a copy but I definitely got the feeling of that song, sir now definitely it is a song of Rahat Ali Khan, Rafat Ali Khan. If the composition is also his then some similarity will be seen but I am sure I mean let's see how it looks in the film, the interest will come from there in Sara's film, ok now sir, one more song has come, I saw Zabi's song Ji Ji Zabi, I got a big Bollywood feel in it, actually in the song Zombie, I saw a lot of Bollywood movies, romantic movies of Bollywood, that they are sitting and eating popcorn, sitting on the sofa, all those things which I saw in the song Zombie and the tune was also a complete Bollywood tune of today, in its story board, the song Zombie, I will also make a separate video on it to explain to the viewers, one is an old Pakistani movie of Nadeem Shabnam and one is a movie of Shahrukh Khan and Anushka.
Two scenes inside the story board are seen being copied in large. But sir, please tell me one thing, what is his love for this, [ __ ] Mustafa with the motorcycle, you can pick up the actor in law, you can pick up the Aag Lage Basti, you can pick up an unknown person, you can pick up Haniya's drama on ARY, sometimes I can pick up that, according to the story, he was naughty, so he had a motorcycle, what is the love for the motorcycle, it is there in this too, in the song also, I have never thought about what is there on the motorcycle, no, Fad Mustafa may not be in love, director Nabeel Qureshi is in love with the motorcycle, yes this is correct. [laughter] Absolutely. Okay, last question for you is that you also look at the film very deeply from your point of view.
Ok.
From your point of view, you are saying that you want to watch the first show of the film.
But the trailer of Psycho from Nazreen's point of view is so catchy from the point of view of the common audience.
No, sir.
Not there.
I didn't feel it. So this was my thought as well. That's why I asked you, you are saying the same to me, do you also think the same? Because I didn't think the Aust trailer would have engaged the audience.
Well, what do you think might have happened?
No, that's why I asked the question.
Ok.
I didn't feel that yes I didn't feel that. I mean, I told you earlier that I felt a little bit about the cuts in it, that the transitioning was not happening properly and the audience has definitely made the cinema tickets expensive, now see, even in Karachi.
In New Plex, the ticket price of Rs 1000 was increased to Rs 1200 and the ticket price of Rs 1400 was increased to Rs 1600. So now those who are going to watch the movie in the chart have to pay ₹800 extra for the ticket.
So, while eating and drinking, you should stop eating and drinking, sir, now I have even stopped taking tea. The tea is for ₹550, sir. Who will take it? Tea costs ₹50 or ₹600, sir. So I go home and have tea or come back home and have tea. No one will go and drink tea worth ₹00-600, or you and this Abid saheb, you should see that the producer of a film is saying this and if a common man wants to go and entertain, then how will he do it, sir, he will definitely not do everything, sir, now you see, that Pepsi or those drinks are given for ₹00, there are plain popcorns for ₹500, if you take the caramel ones, then they are worth more, nachos are for ₹2500-3000, so this is an exorbitant amount, the water bottle is probably for ₹2500-300, so what can you do? I do n't know why that place was named Concession? Why is that called a concession stand? To this day, I still wonder why the place where you sell snacks at the cinema is called a concession stand. Whereas everything is sold at a premium. The concession is that you can bring something from outside and show it to eat inside. [laughter] The buy-in is from within.
No sir, this is too much in my opinion.
If you, your audience, want cinema to come, whether it comes on Eid or away from Eid, then do n't do so much excess, give tea for ₹200, give tea for ₹250, I will do it, see in the market, give a can of Pepsi for ₹100, ₹200, yes, by God, films have started being made, if they have started coming or there is a trend of people watching them, then if it goes, how much was given on merit, how much was not given, the government, the state government is fulfilling its own duties. Those who will make the film are fulfilling their responsibilities.
But the people of the cinema must fulfill their duty from the point of view of tickets as well as from the point of view of refreshments.
I think it is absolutely, absolutely very important.
Thank you very much Sir, and the viewers, you have seen that Merchant Sahab's first choice is still Psycho and we have forced him to do Zabi. Let's see whether you will watch Love This or not, but your feedback is very important that how did you like the trailer of Psycho, so please tell us in this regard. Please allow me this much for now, Allah Haf
