By
In an historic development for films in Pakistan, Parwaz Hai Junoon produced by Momina Duraid under the banner of Momina and Duraid Films and distributed by HUM Films, signed the contract to release the film across China this year. The contract was signed between producer Momina Duraid and Mr Wang Ye of Fire International Media. The signing was part of Pakistan China Trade and Investment Forum – part of the Belt and Road Forum which is being held in Beijing. Present on the occasion were Mr Razzaq Dawood, advisor to Prime Minister Imran Khan and Mr Duraid Qureshi, CEO HUM Network Limited.
Speaking on the occasion Momina Duraid said, “It’s a very special day for the Pakistani film industry to announce the commercial release of Parwaaz Hai Junoon across China. We are very proud that our film has become a stepping stone in opening the Chinese market for Pakistani films in over 30 years. We are hopeful that our film will do well on the box office here and will pave way for the entire film industry.”
“We are very glad to partner with HUM Network and HUM Films to release ‘Parwaaz Hai Junoon’ in China, which will be the first Pakistani film in over 30 years to release here on a commercial scale.

Believe me when I say it: people who do not like shopping for clothes exist. We like coming up with the best outfit in our heads but it never reaches execution or even test wear. We would love it if someone can get those out our imagination and bring them to reality. Well, some designers did the job at Hum Showcase SS19.
When you think of fashion weeks, it is usually a hoopla of unwearable high-fashion way too out there and restricted to the ramp. How many times have you ever seen Sadaf Kanwal walking down the ramp looking like Aphrodite herself and caught yourself thinking ‘hey, I can pull this off.’ Let me tell: never.
Zaheer Abbas’s Conceptuelle
What we love about Zaheer Abbas is the minimalism in his design. You don’t need to put tons of embellishments on a shirt and call it art. Setting the bar way too high for everyone else, Abbas mixed a classic autumn palette with pleated fabric and ballooning sleeves and we are just totally drooling over it. We are talking belts and frills and monotone outfits, contrasts you hardly see in local couture.
Zonia Anwar’s Reverdie
Anwar might as well call it the classic bridesmaid collection. Pretty pastels, floral and summery are the words we will use to describe Anwar’s Reverdie. Nothing out there and unwearable, Zonia paired prints with plains; a classic move.
Image’s The Return
Well, they said it! It is the return of short kameez and baggy shalwars. Image showcased loads of white, elegant self-print outfits with a hint of gold. It may not be the boldest of collection, but we are guessing Image may become responsible for the ultimate return of patyalla shalwars.
Rizwan Beyg’s Pearl-Essence
Is this Rizwan Beyg’s best collection? We think, yes! Can’t emphasize how much we loved it. White was certainly the popular choice among the designers this time around. With embossed texture and white embellishments on luxurious ivory cloth, Beyg brought out the collection absolutely fit for royalty.
Khaadi Khas’s ‘Gypsy’
Khaadi Khas is known for being a brand for modern day women. The entire collection, though slightly heavy on the pocket, is totally wearable by everyone. You had to be there for it but Khaadi Khas totally stole the show on Day 3. With no showstopper or even any rep from Khaadi showing up on the ramp, every model wearing Gypsy walked down with deafening applause.
We also loved Emraan Rajput’s all-white collection called The Marquis. Munib Nawaz put on quite a show with a series of showstoppers – we are talking the cast and the makers of film Chhalawa: Mehwish Hayat, Azfar Rehman, Zara Noor Abbas and Asad Siddiqui, Wajahat Rauf and Shazia Wajahat. 9Lines and Outfitters upped the socially aware lines with Pop Kitschry and The Conversation, respectively. Another attention grabber was Deepak & Fahad’s Markhor, an endangered species and also the national animal of this nation. Here you go, our top picks form Hum Showcase SS19.

iflix success party for Teefa in Trouble was an absolutely lit affair with all the right delights. Glitz, glamour, fun and loads of party took place on a breezy evening in Karachi on the 5th of April at Café Flo. Ali Zafar’s antics were a treat to the eyes, ears and the very cooperative, fun loving audience couldn’t get enough of it. Packed with fun activities like role play and karaoke, everyone was hooked. In addition, the man of the hour serenading in his intoxicating soulful voice along with his charm got the star studded audience which included Humayun Saeed, Faisal Qureshi, Mehmood Aslam, Komal Rizvi, Sonya Hussayn, Fakhir Mehmood, Nida Yasir, Yasir Nawaz, Asad Siddiqui, Shazia Wajahat, Wajahat Rauf, Nabila Maqsood, Behroze Subzwari, Shehzad Sheikh, Abdullah Sultan, FAazan Haqqee, Rizwan Ali Jafri, Deepak Perwani, Shazia Naz, Danish Wakeel, Beenish Pervaiz, Torsam, Nadeem Mandiwala, Marhoom Ahmed Bilal, Ahsan Rahim spun immediately.
Pakistan’s Head of Marketing, Aimun Baloch, commented: “iflix is deeply committed in bringing local audiences the most compelling and relevant content available. We are thrilled to introduce local blockbuster ‘Teefa in Trouble’ exclusive for Pakistani audiences where we also had a product placement in the movie. Ali Zafar is our celebrity investor and therefore the success of the movie came naturally on the platform. At iflix, we remain committed to our dream to bring the very best in global entertainment to our users; staying true to our vision to redefine television for one billion people by putting the entertainment they want in their hands – 24/7”.
Ali Zafar shared his sentiments and said, “I can’t begin to explain the immense joy and gratitude in fulfilling my dream to produce an iconic film for my own country as I simultaneously was working on a project in Bollywood.”
Ahsan Rahim’s directorial debut Teefa in Trouble was one heck of an action packed film, with drama, thrill and romance. The fantastic music for the film was created by none other than Ali Zafar that his fans are hooked to beyond imagination. This is the first non-Indian film that was distributed internationally by Yash Raj Films and the 3rd Pakistani film to have crossed the 50 crore mark! In addition, the awfully star studded cast included, Ali Zafar, Maya Ali, Javed Sheikh and Faisal Qureshi.
iflix took upon itself to celebrate Pakistani media stepping up their film game and putting out content that is above par. Celebrating Teefa in Trouble was something they felt greatly for and Ali Zafar’s unmatched performance and charisma really did wonders.
A success through and through, we hope to see Pakistani media reach even greater heights and with the rate we’re at, looks like we’re going in the right direction. A big shout-out to team iflix and Teefa in Trouble.
