AS a follower of Pakistani cinema, I had eagerly looked forward to the movies that were released on Eidul Fitr this year. These films, I am happy to say, lived up to the expectations of the audiences.

Among the movies that stood out to me were Money Back Guarantee, Huey Tum Ajnabi, Dorr and Daadal. These films featured exceptional acting performances, engaging storylines, and visually stunning cinematography. They kept me on the edge of my seat and left a lasting impact on me long after the credits rolled.

I was also thrilled by the massive success of the long-awaited Maula Jatt. The film broke numerous box office records and received critical acclaim from audiences and critics alike. This success is a clear indication that Pakistani cinema is reaching new heights and that audiences are eager to support high-quality Pakistani movies.

I urge everyone to support the Pakistani film industry by visiting theatres and watching some amazing movies. By doing so, we can encourage the filmmakers to continue creating high-quality movies so that the industry may thrive.

Let us take pride in our own cinema and support it as much as we can. I am excited to see Pakistani cinema continuing to grow and mature with each passing year, and the movies released this Eid were a testament to the talent and dedication of Pakistani filmmakers.

I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Pakistani cinema, and eagerly await the release of more great movies in the coming months and years.
