As Pakistan welcomes the joyous occasion of Eid ul Adha from June 6–9, film enthusiasts are in for a treat. Big-screen releases are set to light up theaters across the country – from romantic comedies to spine‑tingling horror.
🌟 Major Cast – Two Flagship Films
“Love Guru”
Directed by Nadeem Baig and starring Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed, Love Guru marks the beloved duo’s first silver‑screen pairing since Bin Roye (2015). The film follows a self‑proclaimed romance expert who ends up entangled in his own love story. Premiering on June 6, Eid ul Adha, the rom‑com is expected to revive the festive crowds .
“Deemak”
Taking a completely different direction, Deemak is a star-studded Pakistani horror drama featuring Faysal Qureshi, Sonya Hussyn, Sameena Peerzada, and Bushra Ansari. Billed as a supernatural, family‑centered thriller, the film promises frights and festive chills when it hits screens this Eid.
🍿 More Offerings: Variety for Every Viewer
While Love Guru and Deemak lead the charge, cinemas will also showcase other Pakistani films and re‑aired TV specials. Popular dramas like Nayab (starring Yumna Zaidi and Usama Khan) are scheduled for TV broadcasts during the holiday, giving viewers options beyond the multiplex.
🎥 Why Eid is a Blockbuster Season
