KARACHI: The multiple award-winning feature film Lamha (or Seedlings) will be released by The Platform at the Atrium Cinemas in Karachi on September 20, according to a press release.
The much-awaited film, which stars Aamina Sheikh, Mohib Mirza and Gohar Rasheed, won the 'Best Feature Film' (People's choice) awards and 'Best Lead Actress' awards for Aamina Sheikh both at its World Premiere in The New York City International Film Festival 2012 and the annual South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit's film festival.

Due credit goes to the stellar cast and crew of our film and kudos to initiatives such as The Platform, leading the charge on the distribution and exhibition front, a segment of the industry that was previously under-developed."

best of ;luck to all film makers in Pakistan.
I've been waiting for some time for Lamha to be released..........good news.
@Keenan Sultan: If it is thrash don't watch it.........no one is forcing..........by u r statement u seem to have a lot of trash
@ayesha: Why bollywood u should compare u r self to Hollywood?????????/
Though I am very glad for Pakistani films, I think all these good films should not be released so quickly in such a short span. . Pakistanis waited for years after Khuda ke liye and Bol, they can wait for a few months for Lamha's release. . Releasing Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi, Josh, Waar etc all within 8 weeks (Aug/Sep) is not a good idea. Many people need to wait for their next salary to afford another day out. It will have a negative impact on business. .
Finally Pakistani Film Industry will give Bollywood a run for their money.
Pakistan entrance into the film world should be called PNC - Pakistans New Cinema making its mark moving away from the old Lollywood that produced cheap, technically poor made by crew with very little training & poor equipment. The new films like JOSH & LAHMA are simple funded films with a brand new crop that will train our Pakistani audiences to think, react and educate themselves rather than watch the numb mindless Bollywood trash trying to pass as entertainment. Good luck LAHMA
This is so exciting! looks like 2013 might just FINALLY be the year of revival! Congratulations and best of luck to team Seedlings ( Lamha) it was about time that the Pakistani audiences got to see the film :)
