Parwarish is a drama airing on ARY Digital. The show is dealing with the problems of Gen Z and talking about different parenting styles. The drama has a big cast and everyone is doing justice to their characters. Wali played by Samar Jafri has been thrown into a pickle once again. His car gets confiscated by the police after an accident happens. He was rescued by his uncle Suleman and Parwarish fans are loving Suleman.
Suleman played by Saad Zameer Fareedi has once again turned out to be a parent we want to see more of in our society. He understands that the kid has made a mistake but he never got aggressive. Jahangir, on the other hand, was aggressive and slapped Wali. Suleman instead defended him and told his brother off. He directly told him that his behaviour is the cause why his son never shares anything with him. He also tried to solve everything is a gentle way while making Wali understand what went wrong.
Here are a few clips of why Suleman is the best parent in Parwarish:
The internet is loving Suleman’s parenting style. The way he defended Wali and how he is with his own children. One wrote, “Suleman and Pannah are definitely the best parents.” Another added, “Suleman may not have earned a lot of money but he has earned respect in his children’s eyes.” One said, “Wali is lucky to have such a chachu.” This is what they had to say:

She got married and shared moments from her wedding which went viral on social media.
Hareem Sohail was a guest on FHM podcast and she had something to say about Tiktokers who become actors but do not get much success in the field. Recently many new faces have entered the industry through social media. The number of followers will earn you a spot in a drama. The influencers then have to work hard on their acting if they want to shine in front of the audience.
Hareem Sohail said that making Tiktoks is a different thing altogether. She said acting is a very difficult job. Acting is a built in talent which is not possessed by everyone. In Tiktok you can set the camera at your favourite angle. You apply makeup and lip sync on videos. While acting means you will have to act out a scene among a crew of 50 people. The camera angles will be unflattering and they will capture your whole face.

Whatever she said to me helped me and I didn’t even go to therapy”
Talking about the reason behind her depression, Areeka Haq said, “I was cast in the music video by Asim Azhar and Young Stunners when I faced hate on social media. I wasn’t even 18 and I was bullied for grabbing the musical video. Many said, ‘Oh why did you take her in your video’. It took a toll on me and I went into depression”. Here is the link to the video:

Talking about it, she said, “I would generally say that we live in a patriarchal society where people don’t like independent women. They feel threatened by them. Even now, as we appear on TV, people are probably hating on us, thinking we should be at home cooking for our kids. It’s common in our society for people to dislike opinionated women. Men, in particular, usually don’t appreciate such women. I often hear from men—even so-called modern ones—that I’m “too opinionated.” People constantly taunt us for working in showbiz but if you come on our set and see the environment, we see the most regular worshippers (Namazis) on our sets. We’re simple, friendly and hardworking, but people think we’re different.” Here is the link to the video:

This video story by Jannat Mirza ignited severe public backlash. One social media user wrote, “They were probably on a business class flight. Airlines often send business class passengers before economy, so she most likely took the video at that time.” A social media user wrote, “Nowadays, very few people are traveling. I had a flight from Italy and we were only two people in that plane”. Another fan commented, “Their father must have thought to book the whole plane to provide privacy to his daughters so no one could see them — after all, they have their TikTok income.” One user asked, “Is this Hajj or just a show-off?” Another wrote, “Instead of booking the whole plane for yourselves, you could have taken some poor pilgrims along.” Someone else added, “May Allah guide them and show them the right path.” Fans are also questioning the family’s source of income.

I’ve personally gone through it many times. Whenever I used to post pictures of my children on social media, they would fall sick. It’s tried and tested: whenever I shared their photos, they became unwell. Now I understand why people put emojis over faces in pictures. Many may make fun of it, but I know exactly why they do it—because I always posted my kids’ pictures without hiding their faces. Today, I’ve posted our anniversary reel. May Allah protect us from the evil eye.” Actress Beena Chaudhary also shared that whenever she posts pictures with her husband, they end up having a fight that same day.

Adnan Sami Khan is a controversial celebrity, mainly due to his toxic political views. He was a singer and actor from Pakistan who actively worked in India. Adnan opted to let go of his Pakistani nationality and took Indian citizenship. He initially got criticized for it but people forgot later on. The singer’s constant barrage against Pakistan is what ended up getting him a lot of hate from the Pakistani side.
Adnan Sami Khan sat for an interview on Aap Ki Adalat and spoke about how he got his Indian citizenship. He revealed that President Musharraf had accused him of abandoning Pakistan in a letter when he was still a Pakistani citizen. He was living in India on a visa. When his Pakistani passport expired, it was not getting renewed. He was then informed by some Pakistani foreign officers that his passport will not be renewed. He will be made to come to Pakistan and he was under threat.
He went on to share that India also granted him citizenship after several years. They have a law where the Indian Government can grant Indian citizenship to people who have extraordinary talent in sports, arts or science. He received his citizenship under that law. This is the story he shared:
Adnan Sami Khan was also asked if he has ever tried to go back to Pakistan. He broke into tears when he answered this as he recently tried to come back to Pakistan for his mother’s funeral but couldn’t.
The singer shared that his mother who was in good health, suddenly passed away 2 months ago. He wanted to come back to Pakistan for her funeral. He asked Indian authorities for permission or if they had any problems with his travel. Indian authorities were allegedly okay with it. Adnan Sami Khan went on to accuse Pakistani authorities of not granting him a visa. He said he witnessed his mother’s janaza on a Whatsapp call. It was cruel but Pakistani authorities did not allow him to travel to Pakistan.
Here is what he said:
Pakistanis are not having it. They have criticized Adnan for playing the victim card. One said, “You went from this country and betrayed it by choice. Don’t play the victim card now.” Another said, ” Good on the person who rejected your visa. You deserve it after all the hate you spread.” A person said,”You should have cared for your mother while she was alive.” This is what the internet has to say:

Mann Mast Malang is a drama currently being broadcast on Geo TV. It features prominent actors Danish Taimoor and Sahar Hashmi in leading roles. The series initially received a favorable response; however, it has recently become a subject of public discussion for various controversial reasons. Like many of Danish Taimoor’s previous projects, this drama integrates romance and action elements. Nonetheless, the portrayal of romance in the narrative appears to be crossing certain societal boundaries.
Danish Taimoor portrays an obsessive lover, Kabir. Mann Mast Malang’s bold scenes are causing considerable concern among viewers. A significant number of sequences are filmed on the bed, which many believe are too bold for television. The content has even drawn comparisons to Fifty Shades of Grey, as it is seen to have crossed certain boundaries of acceptability.
The portrayal of intimacy in the drama has sparked widespread debate. Viewers argue that such content is inappropriate for prime-time television and does not align with cultural norms. The intensity of Kabir’s character, combined with the suggestive nature of several scenes, has left audiences feeling uncomfortable. Critics have also raised concerns about the potential impact on younger viewers, as the drama is easily accessible. The bold direction has overshadowed the storyline for many, shifting the focus from narrative depth to visual shock value.
These are the scenes being shown in nearly every episode of Mann Mast Malang:
The public is criticizing Daish Taimoor for picking up this role. One said, “Ayeza does such good dramas and Danish picks up the worst ones.” One added, “Looks like Danish is completing his filhal fantasy with these roles.” One said, “He is losing his integrity and we did not expect this vulgarity from the actor.” Here is what they said:
Sonya Hussyn and Faysal Quraishi are leading the upcoming horror film Deemak. The film is also the comeback of Samina Peerzada who has been on a break from acting since Balaa.The talent in this film is unmatched and we will have a film from the horror genre in cinemas on Eid ul Adha. The premiere for Deemak was held in Karachi last night and many stars inlcuding the leads were seen at the event.
Sonya Hussyn is among a few actresses who experiment a lot with their looks and styling. She chose to wear a purple fusion saari for the premiere. She spoke to the media as she arrived at the event. The actress also posed for pictures with the guests who had come out to support her film.
The Internet thinks Sonya Hussyn looked uncomfortable at the premiere. One said, “Why does she look nervous.” Another added, “I love her but her stylist always puts her in uncomfortable clothes.” One said, “The dress is bad.” This is what they had to say:

Recently, I found out she was playing my guitar at home and missing me—that made me really happy. I’ve changed her diapers too—I’m actually a pro at it!

Her character is Pashtun because we also have Pashtun viewers from all around the world. Besides this, I also wanted to include a Pashto song in the film—it was a team decision. We add different cultural elements not only because it’s good for business, but also because it creates a beautiful connection between different Pakistani cultures. When Pashtun people saw the trailer, they were very happy to see their representation of Pashto culture in the film.”

Danish Taimoor stirred a controversy this Ramzan with a bold statement regarding multiple marriages. In Green Entertainment’s ramzan transmission Mehfil E Ramzan, Danish Taimoor remarked, “I am allowed to have four wives but currently ( Filhal) choosing not to pursue multiple marriages is another story”. The statement quickly went viral and sparked backlash on social media. Many fans and viewers criticized Danish for making such remarks on a public platform, calling it insensitive and inappropriate. The episode ignited a heated debate on social media about celebrity responsibility and the misuse of religious allowances for entertainment.
Recently, famous chef Mahnoor Malik was the guest of Marriam Kaiwan’s podcast where she revealed the real reason behind Danish Taimoor’s Filhal statement.
Talking about it, Mahnoor Malik said, “Yes, the Filhal controversy went viral after the Mehfil-e-Ramzan show. I have already said that things often appear very different on TV compared to reality. If I talk about our two hosts, I would rate Danish higher between the two — he was kinder and more friendly. The Filhal incident occurred because Danish Taimoor has a habit of saying Filhal — he uses it in almost every statement. When Ayeza came on the show, she was super friendly and kind. Now, about the Filhal statement — it had been a topic of discussion on the show for weeks. So, when Ayeza Khan came, the same discussion was ongoing, and in the heat of the moment, he said it again. I don’t think there was any motive behind it. I also believe Ayeza remained silent because reacting might have triggered even a bigger controversy.”

Pakistani dramas have increased in popularity over the last decade. A new wave of fans has discovered how great the shows can be. Though the dramas went through a bad patch with repetitive stories, lately there has been improvement in stories and performances. Many new actors have also come into the business who are taking their script choices seriously and experimenting with their characters.
Styling is another aspect that is a very important part of any project. How the actors look impacts the overall experience of fans. There are many young actors now in Pakistani dramas who are foregoing vanity and styling their characters according to the story. They change their looks for each project, and they are not stuck in the hero or heroine mode.
Here is the list of young Pakistani drama actors who take styling seriously:
Shuja Asad
Shuja Asad is a new star of Pakistani dramas who has won the audience’s favour in a short period. With College Gate came a new string of actors, and Shuja was one among them. He hooked the audience with his strong performance in Khaie. He was savage yet innocent as Barslas Khan. His mannerisms, the way he took on that character, and his styling were a few features that played in his favour. Shuja has spoken about how he wants to play diverse characters and does not want just to be a hero. He then appeared in Tan Man Neeo Neel and Aye Ishq e Junoon. Both these characters were very different according to a styling perspective. Shuja had to play a poor and struggling young dancer in Tan Man Neelo Neel. In Aye Ishq e Junoon, he was a rich brat with no remorse for his crimes. He once again nailed the styling of both characters flawlessly.
Sabeena Farooq
Sabeena Farooq is another young talent in Pakistani dramas. She started with a supporting character in Suno Chanda and gradually grew into a big name. She has gained fame and success based on her great performances. The actress has worked in some diverse scripts and performed characters from different backgrounds. Unlike many other young actresses, Sabeena cares more about her character’s styling and not hers. She wore those Afghan Chaddars with no makeup on her face in Kabli Pulao. Her Tere Bin character’s styling was true to the story. In Mann Jogi, she let herself go and adorned the shabbiest shalwar kameez. She had dust on her face in several scenes. Sabeena Farooq is another young Pakistani drama star who unapologetically takes on a difficult character even when it is not ultra-stylish.
Khushhal Khan
Khushhal Khan is also not very old in the Pakistani drama world. He started his acting career in mainstream dramas with Qissa Meherbano Ka. He has since been a part of shows like Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri, Barzakh, and Duniyapur. The young actor has sported different avatars in all his projects. He did not stumble while wearing that weird wig in Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri. Barzakh had a vintage look. Duniyapur, on the other hand, showed him in a very different style. His look was dark and menacing. He had to look older than his real age. He managed to pull off all these looks well and experimented successfully every time.
Nameer Khan
Nameer Khan has recently joined the Pakistani drama industry. He is two projects old, but he managed to win the audience regardless. The actor made his debut as Rayan Jaffar in Mein. The character was a brat with no regard for himself or his family. Nameer brought it to life with the perfect wardrobe and attitude. He looked rich and unkempt at the same time, which was a demand of the character. His recent stint in Qarz-e-Jaan ended up becoming a fan favourite. His styling played a vital role in the success of his character. Though many of the characteristics were similar in both roles, Nameer made them look different through nuances in his styling.
Dananeer Mobeen
Dananeer Mobeen got fame after her Pawri Horahi Hai video. She started her Pakistani drama career with Sinf e Aahan. People loved her performance in that show, and she got offers for lead roles. She starred in Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri and Meem Se Mohabbat next. All these characters were very different in style. Sinf e Aahan had a girl with Hijab, in Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri Dananeer kept her look very urban and modern, her shift to sobriety later on in the show was very visible. Roshi in Meem Se Mohabbat has her own style. Dananeer nailed them all, and none looked like her in real life, which is a feat.
Ali Raza
Ali Raza has been part of Pakistani dramas like Mohabbat Gumshuda Meri, Noor Jahan, Duniyapur, Iqtidar, and Dastak. The actor is not too old in the industry, but has managed to make waves. He has worked on his craft and improved with each show. Ali Raza also works on styling his characters, which brings more substance to his performances. In his last few shows, he sported very different looks. From a normal guy working for his family’s business in Noor Jahan to a gangster in Duniyapur, a young politician in Iqtidar, and now an upper-middle-class man in Dastak, all his characters have looked different.
Anmol Baloch
Anmol Baloch is another actress who has been ruling the Pakistani drama industry. She has made quite a name for herself in a short time. She likes to bring style to all her characters, whether they are poor or rich. She curates wardrobes based on her character’s personality. This makes her stand out every time. Recently, her wardrobe in Iqtidar was loved by everyone. She looked like a confident, young girl who was ready to take on the world due to her on-point styling. Meanwhile, her styling showed a bratty side in her drama Siyani.
Momina Iqbal
Momina Iqbal is beautiful and talented. She has experimented with both positive and negative roles in her career. She started as a model, and she has used her fashion knowledge to make her characters unique. She works on the styling of all her characters. Her recent shows, Dastak and Do Kinaray, show how she was able to make them look completely different from each other. From hair styles to clothing, Momina Iqbal brings her uniqueness to her characters.
Sehar Khan
Sehar Khan is another young talent in Pakistani dramas. She is like a chameleon, and she has shown her range with her projects. She also worked on her characters’ styling. From dressing up like a young Gen Z, urban girl in Fairy Tale to a girl stuck in a marriage in Jafaa, she showed her prowess in acting as well as styling her characters. In her recent Tan Man Neelo Neel, she nailed it with her styling and looked like a girl from interior Rawalpindi.
Durefishan Saleem
Durefishan Saleem is a young star of Pakistani dramas. She has managed to win the audience in a relatively short period of time. The starlet has worked hard on keeping her characters unique. Alongside choosing good scripts, she diligently kept styling differently for all her characters. In Jaisay Aapki Marzi, she looked like the shocked wife of a rich man. Her outfits looked expensive, but she was still unkempt and all over the place. The styling showcased the character’s mindset. She was a confident student/youth in Ishq Murshid, and her looks commanded independence. In Khaie, she looked like a Pashtun girl with her chaddars and traditional outfits.

Fawad Khan is among the biggest stars of Pakistan. He has given many hit projects to Pakistan before he shited focus on his Bollywood career. HSY on the other hand is one of the biggest designers and actors of Pakistan and he is friends with Fawad. Recently Fawad is going through a lot of criticism. It all started with the star promoting his upcoming Indian film Abir Gulaal which then got shelved after the Pahalgam Attacks.
Fawad Khan who never makes any political remarks condemned the attacks. Later on a war started between the two countries and after remaining silent, Fawad shared his side in a measured way as to not offend either side. This made Pakistani people criticize him more as he did not openly support Pakistan. HSY just spoke to journalist Ambreen Fatima and she asked his opinion on the criticism on Fawad Khan.
HSY defended Fawad Khan as he shared that Fawad is a great friend of his. No one can actually tell what is going on in someone’s heart but he knows how big a patriot Fawad is and how much he loves his country.
This is what he said:
HSY further added that he also understands where people are coming from. We were all very angry after India’s attack and since people make stars who they are, they feel stars are a part of their lives. They expected more to come from their favourite actor which might not have come. He cannot say anything about if Fawad Khan was pressurized or not as he does not have those details. He knows Fawad and knows he is patriotic but he also understands people’s feelings and criticism.

Lately, the senior actor Seemi Raheel made an appearance in Wasi Shah’s show Zabardast. In the show, she highlighted the shift from talent and craft to appearance in the showbiz industry.
Talking about it, Seemi Raheel said, “An actor has nothing to do with beauty. What does an actor’s face have to do with acting? If people remember you for your character, that means you are beautiful — and that is your true success. I don’t think actors in our time were overly concerned with their looks. We had actresses like Uzma Gilani, Samina Ahmed, Roohi Bano, and Khalida Riyasat — who never even had blow-dried hair. Did we all look the same? Did we all have the same eyebrows? Now, everyone seems to have the same face, the same eyebrows, the same complexion. Personally, I believe diversity is a beautiful thing. Also, I have enjoyed my work throughout. We have embraced each stage of our age” Here is the link to the video:

It will soon be on PEMRA’s radar!” Another added, “We can’t watch Pakistani dramas with our families anymore.

Shame on such senior actors.” Another stated, “Don’t do Qurbani if you can’t afford it. But taking care of the animals and their fodder is very expensive in this inflation. A fan said, “The difference is. iPhone is luxury, Qurbaani is Wajib.” A fan angrily commented, “What is the point of comparing Iphone with qurbani?” Read the comments here:

Alizeh Shah is a young and promising Pakistani television star, known for her bold personality, natural acting, and outspoken views. She also boasts an impressive Instagram following of 4.3 million. While most fans admire her active presence on social media, a few criticize her for her boldness. Alizeh Shah’s popular dramas include Ishq Tamasha, Ehd-e-Wafa, Mera Dil Mera Dushman, Dil Moum Ka Diya, Muhabbat Ki Akhri Kahani, Khel, Taqdeer, Jo Tu Chahay, and others.
Alizeh Shah has recently been expressing her views on social media more frequently. This time, she opened up about the public criticism regarding her choice of wearing short clothes. She defended her clothing choices, stating that she grew up in an environment where mini dresses were never an issue for her family.
Taking it to her Instagram, Alizeh Shah wrote, “Let’s get one thing clear. I’ve worn sleeveless clothes, shorts, and skirts since I was a child. It’s how I was raised. My mother never forced me into outdated ideas of how a girl should dress. She never imposed tradition on me. She raised me with love, not limitations. She saw me for the child I was—and the emotional, expressive woman I was becoming. This isn’t new to the camera. I’ve worn similar outfits before and never asked for permission. So why is it now that I’m being trolled, judged, and threatened? And for what? Being honest? Dressing the way I always have? Not fitting into someone else’s idea of who I should be?”
She also mentioned, “This isn’t about clothes. It’s about control. I’m not here to be anyone’s idea of “acceptable.” I’ve worked for everything I have, and I don’t need your permission. What’s truly disturbing isn’t my appearance—it’s the obsession with tearing someone down just because they’re visible. If my confidence bothers you, maybe ask yourself why?”
She further posted, “If you believe women online are doing wrong, then watching actresses or influencers is equally problematic. Islam teaches us to reflect on our own actions before judging others. Telling a woman she must wear a burqa or leave her profession is not your role. Everyone is accountable to Allah—not to public opinion. Let people work and live with dignity. This world is hard enough—especially for women—so instead of policing them, focus on your own path.”
Not only this, Alizeh Shah also mentioned a Quranic verse. She wrote, “As the Qur’an says: ‘There is no compulsion in religion’ (2:256).”
Alizeh Shah is getting severe public backlash for defending her boldness. A netizen wrote, “She has always been like that. When she was in school, my sister was her teacher. However it is shameful that if you become popular, you take off your clothes” Another said, “Ask your mom also to wear clothes like these if there is nothing bad in it and she raised you in this way”. A social media user expressed sympathy with Alizeh, “The only vulgar actress with whom I have sympathy because she is passing through depression at such a young age and unable to cope with it. I always wondered why her parents don’t take her to the psychiatrist. Now I know her mother is involved in her deteriorating mental health.”
Love Guru is the big budget rom-com coming out this Eid ul Adha. The film has Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan in the lead.

Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed are coming back on the silver screens this Eid ul Adha with Love Guru. The stars have been promoting their film. They went for an international promotions tour to the USA, UK and UAE. They are back in Pakistan and they are speaking to several journalists. The stars were guests on Something Haute and they shared what has changed in them since Bin Roye days.
Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed worked in Bin Roye together before Love Guru. Mahira has shared before that not much has changed about them over the years but she has noticed a slight difference in their appearances. She said that they have less energy now as they have grown older and their lips are shrinking. This is an observation that she made while they were together on a flight.
Mahira Khan said that she saw their pictures from Bin Roye time and she felt that their lips are getting thinner. Humayun Saeed added that she showed him a picture and there is a difference. Mahira added that people who have fillers have thinner lips later as fillers are dissolved. But in their case, this is due to aging.
This is what they said:
The internet is reacting to Mahira Khan’s observation. One said, “What kind of discussion is this. She could just have said we are old.” Another added, “Lips do shrink with age as you lose collagen.” One said, “Your body features change with age.” Here is the internet’s reaction:
Javed Sheikh and Momal Sheikh are the star father-daughter duo. They have both done well in their careers with Javed Sahab being the absolute superstar both in films and television. They have had a turbulent family life initially when Javed Sheikh and his wife Zeenat Mangi went through separation and divorce. They have spoken about how children suffered and parents also had to go through hard times because of it. They reconciled as a family and brought their dad back home when Momal was getting married.
Javed Sheikh and Momal Sheikh were guests on Gohar Rasheed’s Ramz and spoke about how divore affects men and women. Javed said that he feels women suffer a lot more when a relationship breaks. A man busies himself in his work and outside but the woman is in the house. She is taking care of the children. She has to feel a lot more pressure and therefore she suffers a lot more.
This is what he said:
Momal Sheikh spoke for men who go through a divorce. She said that men’s emotions do get sidelined under such conditions. A man rarely gets the custody of the children. The woman will have the kids with her which will pacify her. A man is never asked how he will cope with not having his kids with him. Also men are not allowed to showcase their emotions. In a world where women also go out and work, a man should also get an equal chance with his children after divorce. His family can step in and help. Men also go through similar grief after getting divorced.
If you’ve been anywhere near a screen in the last few weeks, chances are you’ve already heard of Love Guru. The upcoming Pakistani rom-com, headlined by superstars Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed, has launched one of the most aggressive—and arguably most effective—film promotional campaigns in recent memory. From viral videos and surprise city tours to international media appearances, Love Guru organizers and makers have their strategy planned out well.
But with the film’s team seemingly everywhere all at once, it begs the question: is this non-stop buzz too much, or is it exactly the kind of energy a modern film needs to break through the noise?
Promotions With Star Power
It’s not unusual for Eid releases to have a media blitz. What sets Love Guru apart is how personally invested its lead stars are in the campaign. Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed have been turning up everywhere—from international tours and talk shows and YouTube podcasts—talking about the film with charm, wit, and genuine excitement.
Their chemistry, both onscreen and off, has become the soul of the campaign. Whether they’re exchanging playful banter during interviews or interacting with fans, the promotion doesn’t feel forced—it feels alive.
And yes, it’s working. There’s something magnetic about seeing two of Pakistan’s biggest stars so fully immersed in their film’s journey. It makes you want to support them. It makes you want to watch.
Taking the Hype Global
Love Guru isn’t just targeting the local box office—it has its eyes set on the global stage. The film’s team has gone on a whirlwind international promo tour, making appearances in Dubai, London, and Toronto.
In Dubai, the cast attended a glamorous meet-and-greet with South Asian media influencers and fans, while in London, they appeared on British Asian TV and were spotted attending a special screening with the overseas Pakistani community. Mahira’s off-screen elegance and Humayun’s star presence were widely covered by international digital media, giving the film visibility far beyond Pakistan.
This international leg of the campaign is a smart move, especially considering how crucial the overseas market is becoming for Pakistani cinema. The global buzz not only adds prestige to the film—it also reinforces the idea that Love Guru isn’t just a local rom-com, but a cinematic event for Pakistanis everywhere.
Marketing Madness or Masterstroke?
The promotional campaign for Love Guru has been nothing short of groundbreaking, setting a new benchmark for Pakistani cinema’s marketing strategies. From local streets to international landmarks, the film’s marketing team has employed a multifaceted approach to ensure maximum visibility and audience engagement.
One of the most notable feats was the screening of the film’s trailer in New York City’s Times Square, marking the first time a Pakistani film has been featured on the iconic digital screens. This event not only garnered attention from passersby but also symbolized Pakistani cinema’s ambition to reach global audiences.
Domestically, the “Love on Wheels” campaign saw branded rickshaws traversing major cities, creating a buzz on the streets and social media alike. The film’s soundtrack, particularly the song “Aa Tenu,” has gone viral, with fans and influencers creating dance challenges and covers, further amplifying the film’s reach.
Internationally, lead actors Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed embarked on a promotional tour across the UAE, UK, Canada, and the US. In the UAE, they were honored by the Pakistani Ambassador for their contributions to the arts, highlighting the film’s cultural significance. Their appearances in various cities included red carpet events, fan meet-and-greets, and media interviews, all aimed at connecting with the diaspora and building anticipation for the film’s release.
However, the aggressive marketing hasn’t been without its challenges. A promotional event in London turned chaotic when an overwhelming crowd led to security concerns, resulting in distress for the actors and criticism of the event’s organization. Despite this hiccup, the incident underscored the immense public interest and the fervor surrounding the film.
In essence, Love Guru’s marketing campaign exemplifies a strategic blend of traditional and modern promotional tactics. By leveraging star power, cultural events, viral music, and international outreach, the film has positioned itself not just as a cinematic release but as a cultural phenomenon, setting a precedent for future Pakistani film promotions.
Final Verdict: All Eyes on Love Guru
Is it too much? Maybe. But it’s working. The anticipation is real. People are talking, tickets are being pre-booked, and the film feels like an event before it’s even released.
Where others have faded into the background, Love Guru has taken center stage—loud, proud, and impossible to ignore.
Whether you’re going for the star power, the laughs, or just to see what all the buzz is about, one thing is certain: Love Guru has already done what every film dreams of doing—it has made you care.
