Following in the footsteps of Waar, Zinda Bhaag is now making its UAE debut. Pakistan’s official submission for Best Foreign Film for the Academy Awards 2014 will now be reaching a much wider audience. The red carpet premiere of Zinda Bhaag will be held on January 15. Bollywood award-winning actor Naseeruddin Shah, who stars in the film, will also be attending the premiere.

The film’s cast also includes Pakistani actors Khurram Patras, Salman Ahmad Khan and Zohaib Asghar. It is the story of three young men who try to escape the reality of their everyday lives and succeed in ways they least expect.

While the premiere is invite-only, the film will release in the UAE on January 16.

This year looks to be a good one for Pakistani cinema. Not only are there over 50 films in the pipeline, local movies are being shown the world over. With Waar and Zinda Bhaag in the UAE and Chambaili in England, we hope for a year full of international premieres!

Pakistan also needs to either make proper distribution channel or start partnership with some other well known company. Releasing films on time can make a lot of difference in terms of revenues. If this film was released in the UK few months ago, I would have definitely watched it. Now I am not sure. I am waiting for Waar now. . @ gp65 Thank you sir for showing some compassion to your smaller neighbour. It is a big thing coming from those on high horses, especially you ;)
