Pakistani cinema lights up every Eid ul Adha and this is considered an occasion when people actually step out to watch films. A few releases happened this year too and the one which is a new experiment for cinema is Nabeel Qureshi’s Na Baligh Afraad. The film was made in just 17 days with a limited budget. With a young cast comprising Samar Jafri and Aashir Wajahat, the film took everyone on a 90s journey with the two teenagers and how they got stuck in different situations.
The film came out with its trailer and promotions in the very last days before Eid and the young cast was enthusiastic about how it will work. It has names like Ehteshamuddin and Aadi Adeal Amjad attached to it and everyone wanted the movie to work due to its experimental approach.
The film is getting mixed reviews from the audience. Many people have liked it while others found the story non-engaging. It was a fun watch for some while some felt like they had wasted their time. Here is how the audience reacted:
Na Baligh Afraad has managed to earn 2.1 crores in the Eid holidays and it is a good box office number.
