Pakistani cinema has been revived a few years ago but only few of our films have seen viable commercial success.

Humayun Saeed and Nabeel Qureshi films have done before this with Humayun Saeed’s films doing good in the overseas market too. But then came Bilal Lashari’s The Legend of Maula Jatt starring Fawad Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Humaima Malick and Mahira Khan among others. The film was expected to do great on Box Office and people from the industry were also looking forward to it.
The Legend of Maula Jatt has made it as it has become the first film to cross 100 crore mark. The film made it despite any hurdles from local cinemas. It has crossed life time business of many films in around two weeks. Bilal Lashari shared the milestone on his social media.
The film has now made another record as it has beat Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu and Sidharth Malhotra’s Thank God in the overseas market despite the Diwali Holiday. Indian analyst Komal Nahta tweeted and confirmed trough his handle.
