Two major local films, ‘Nayab’ and ‘Taxali Gate’, have released in cinemas in first two months of this year. However, Indonesian horror film ‘Sijjin’ has continued to dominate the Pakistani box office. Let’s have a look at how these films fared at box office.
Sijjin
The Indonesian film has managed to pull in a reasonably good footfall to Pakistani movie theaters. According to Cinepax Cinemas, the official distribution partner for the film in Pakistan, the horror flick has so far managed to rake in 5 crore PKR from Pakistani market.
This overwhelming business has made the distributers of ‘Sijjin’ to import two more Indonesian horror films: ‘Waktu Maghrib’ and ‘Pemandi Jenazah’.
Taxali Gate
Abu Aleeha’s ‘Taxali Gate’ released in cinemas across Pakistan, UK and Canada on February 16. The Ayesha Omar, Yasir Hussain and Mehr Bano starrer opened to a dull start in UK with a collection of £1,738 (6 lac PKR) over the first weekend.
