Quality is once again expected to make a comeback to the Pakistani cinemas as there are numerous commercial and feature films lined up for release in the near future that are certainly expected to create ripples in almost dead waters of the Pakistani film industry.
Earlier this year, we saw the release of two films that attracted quite a lot of audience despite their low budget and unknown faces.
Synopsis: A gang of fun-loving hooligans or, ‘Jinnah Boys’, find themselves in trouble when they cross paths with a small-time gangster from the other side of the tracks. In cinemas this October.
