Pakistani Movies To Watch In 2019 – Pakistani film industry has come a long way. There was a time when Pakistani movies were made for specific kind of viewers but that is not the case now. Every year Pakistani filmmakers make different genres of movies which target the viewers which were once completely forgotten by the filmmakers. Those actors who had attached themselves to the drama industry alone, now are seen showing more interest in working in Pakistani Movies. The quality is only getting better with time and it won’t be wrong to say that there is something for everyone in these films every year. The viewers enjoy watching their favorite stars on the big screen and have been supporting the Pakistani cinema by watching even those films which are not always the best.
Here is a list of Pakistani movies which shouldn’t be missed. Some of them have already released and others are the much anticipated films which will be worth watching.

The film Baaji explores a somewhat different topic which hasn’t been explored in any other Pakistani movie yet. The idea for this film probably came from the drama “Mein Sitara”. The makers did a great job of making sure that this idea was presented in an entertaining way on the big screen. Baaji is a film with a big heart, it is magical in many ways and the stars look great on the silver screen.
