Daadal
Daadal” is the latest film in Abu Aleeha’s already long filmography. It stars Sony Hussyn, Shamoon Abbasi, and Mohsin Abbas Haider among others. The film’s teaser provides glimpses into the gang and police conflict and presents Sonya Hussyn in a very different avatar, subverting the heroine trope lime Abu Aleeha had already done with Ayesha Omar in “Javed Iqbal”.
Knowing Abu Aleeha’s track record, the film will more than make its budget back and may even be a hit at the box office.
Lahore Qalandar
There will be a few single-screen Punjabi movies releasing this Eid, however, the only big-budget one is Lahore Qalandar, which brings the old standard Punjabi-style story with a lot of raunchy action. Directed by Shahid Rana, it stars Saima Noor, along with Banto Butt, Shafqat Cheema and Shehryar Cheema.
Money Back Guarantee
The biggest Eid-ul-Fitr release of 2023 is the multi-starrer “Money Back Guarantee”. Written and directed by comedian Faisal Qureshi, the film is a heist caper which seems to parody not just the popular “Money Heist”, but also the genre of heist movies itself.
Starring Fawad Khan, Waseem Akram and Shaniera Akram, John Rambo, Mani, Javed Sheikh and many, many others, the film looks like it could rake in 50 crore easily.
