On Eidul Azha, which was celebrated on August 22, cinemas all across the country witnessed the clash of some of the biggest local films. Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 (JPNA2) and Load Wedding went head-to-head with the audiences gearing up to get their spot at the nearest theatres. Surprisingly, all the films opened up to big numbers proving that Eid releases fare well at the box office than any other time of the year. While the industry is still waiting to get the final box office numbers, film goers have already started sharing their favourite from the lot.

Hamza Ali Abbasi-starrer Parwaaz Hai Junoon woke up the spirit of patriotism in quite a lot.

I'm assuming you haven't seen the movie, or you wouldn't be asking me that. Honestly speaking, its trailer didn't do justice and I didn't have high hopes before watching it. But for me, it's by far one of the best comedies in modern Pakistani films #JPNA2

Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat's Load Wedding didn't fall short of applause either.

Not in years had I seen a Pakistani flick. It was both a ‘don’t have time’ thing and a ‘don’t have time for bad production’ thing.

But #LoadWedding this Eid was a game changer. Politically savvy, socially responsible, aesthetically crisp, superb writing, great production design.
