Synopsis

Barkat and Almaas, struggling cleaners, turn to petty crime for a better life. Small risks escalate into dangerous entanglements with seasoned criminals, bringing guns and chaos. A dark comedy-crime drama about ambition and greed.
Moviegoers are saying
This Pakistani Eid release has audiences celebrating the industry's evolution with Christopher Nolan references and Gen Z humor, though some viewers found themselves competing with Cocomelon-playing families in theaters. Despite mixed ratings averaging around 3-4/10, reviewers appreciate the film's ambitious blend of comedy, crime, and social commentary, with Tabish Hashmi's performance and Hollywood-style jokes earning particular praise.

    There is no doubt that Pakistani Cinema's dynamic is progressing. The things that need to be appreciated like storyline, dialogues, puns and trying to connect with the gen z were spot on. Tabish's acting was somewhat better than the other cast members, I guess. There…
