KARACHI: Pakistan’s official Oscar submission for the Foreign Film category is looking at a release in the United States, The Express Tribune learnt on Thursday.

According to the Zinda Bhaag team, the film is scheduled to release with subtitles in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, Virginia, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, Dallas, Huston and Atlanta on October 18, courtesy of FunAsia Entertainment.

“Since it’s the first film to get such wide distribution in US, it’s a great achievement for Pakistan,” said producer Mazhar Zaidi.

The film, which stars Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah along with new local actors, has got rave reviews from critics in Pakistan. Here is an excerpt from The Express Tribune’s review:
Zinda Bhaag is a must watch. In its modest, yet ingenious approach towards storytelling, Zinda Bhaag easily becomes the best film to have come out of modern day Pakistani cinema.

Here are some Tweets about the film:
