The Naseeruddin Shah-starrer, which is credited with being the first Pakistani film to have been sent for Oscar consideration in the last 50 years, has received immense appreciation for its contribution to rekindling Pakistani cinema. The movie’s cast includes first-time actors Khurram Patras and Salman Ahmad Khan and Zohaib Asghar.
“It’s a very proud moment for us to show the film in UAE,” said Farjad Nabi, who co-director Zinda Bhaag with Meenu Gaur. The movie revolves around the qualms of three Pakistani men in their 20s, who wish to make a living anywhere but in their own country.
The comedy underlines a pertinent and serious issue of how people resort to illegal immigration means and face grave consequences thereafter. The film has been described as quirky and fun but with a message.
Zinda Bhaag was commended by a foreign viewer for being a “powerfully written and entertaining” film. The film has a great number of Indian actors. Gaur said, “It made more sense to get crew members from India as India and Pakistan have a shared culture. It was the best decision we made.”

@ MJ
OK bai, this is an Indian movie! You take it and thanks for giving us a lesson! . Thank God Bilal Leshari didn't have any Indian in Waar!
The script and cinematography of the movie are supremely superb. Screenplay and dialogues-delivery were very good, though there still is some room for improvement. Pakistani cinema is certainly going places. Its a must watch comedy flick for everyone :D
“It made more sense to get crew members from India as India and Pakistan have a shared culture. It was the best decision we made.” - pathetic excuse.
Please stop selling it as a Pakistani movie. It is an Indian movie with a story set in Pakistan.
Saw this movie. We were the only three in the entire theater. This movie was below average. Sub standard acting by all, including Nasuruddin Shan, poor dialogues, etc. Don't know how Pakistan nominated it for Oscar. The next day we saw Indian movie Boss. It was equally bad. Last week was great disappointment for us.
Disgusted to read that it was teh best choice to get actors from india. Have a shame give chance to ur own strugling actors?
disgusted by such people
