The cinema industry in Pakistan has struggled immensely over the past three years, with the pandemic derailing its revival efforts. The situation has been further exacerbated by a struggling economy and political instability, which have driven up ticket prices and made movie-going an unaffordable luxury for many. C
onsequently, cinemas have suffered, and both film production and releases have dwindled. However, Eid ul Adha 2024 is set to bring a glimmer of hope with several big movies hitting the screens. Here is a list of films releasing on Eid ul Adha 2024:
Umro Ayyar: The Beginning
“Umro Ayyar” is the first Pakistani film to introduce a superhero-esque genre to the screen. Boasting a stellar cast and state-of-the-art VFX, this film marks a significant milestone in Pakistani cinema. The movie features prominent actors such as Faran Tahir, Usman Mukhtar, Sana, Sanam Saeed, and Ali Kazmi in key roles, with Hamza Ali Abbasi making a cameo appearance.
Abhi
The long-delayed romantic film “Abhi” will mark singer Goher Mumtaz’s debut on the silver screen. Featuring Kubra Khan as the leading lady, the film’s release was initially postponed due to the struggling cinema industry. However, it is finally set to premiere this Eid ul Adha.
Na Baligh Afraad
Directed by Nabeel Qureshi, “Na Baligh Afraad” stars young actors Aashir Wajahat and Samar Jafri in the lead roles. Although there was earlier speculation that the film would be released directly on OTT platforms, it will now be hitting cinemas.
