The highest-grossing movie on the subcontinent is “The Legend of Maula Jatt”
Within just four weeks of its international release, the Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi-starring movie broke the record for highest-grossing Punjabi movie ever, and it’s still breaking records at the international box office.
The lifetime revenues of other well-known Punjabi movies like Saunkan Saunkne, Chal Mera Putt 2, and Carry on Jatta 2 have been eclipsed by the success of TLOMJ, which was directed and produced by Ammara Hikmat. With almost Rs. 1.72 billion in worldwide box office receipts, it stands out.
Before reaching this milestone, the blockbuster movie previously set a number of milestones, including Most Watched South Asian Film in Norway, Second Highest Grossing South Asian Film in the UK for 2022, and Highest Grossing Pakistani Film.
One of the biggest albums ever to come out of Pakistan is TLOMJ. On October 13, it was made available on more than 500 screens across 25 different countries, including France.
The blockbuster keeps raising the bar for Pakistani filmmaking. Last week, it crossed the Rs. 1.5 billion threshold.
