‘Load Wedding’ nominated at Rajasthan International Film Festival

Fahad Mustafa, Mehwish Hayat-starrer to compete for Best Foreign Language Film

Last year, we saw Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat recreate magic of Actor in Law on screen with the much-awaited Load Wedding. Not only was the film an all-out entertainer but it also shed some necessary light on various issues plaguing Pakistani society, especially practice of giving dowry to girls at the time of their weddings.

Load Wedding did quite well at the Pakistani box office, as expected. But it’s been making waves across the border ass well, having been nominated for Best Feature at the recent Jaipur Film Festival.
