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 delivers a comedic crime caper that surprises audiences with Hollywood-level references (Christopher Nolan and Al Pacino jokes) while maintaining distinctly local humor. Despite mixed ratings averaging 3.1/10, viewers consistently praise the cinema experience and Tabish Hashmi's standout debut performance, though many note the film prioritizes style over substance.

A comedic crime film that lives and breathes the spirit of Pakistani humor. It's super fun, nonsensical, lighthearted, and fulfilling. Take your goddamn families to the theater and support Pakistani cinema.
