Here’s some great news for Ali Zafar fans. The popular singer and actor’s debut Pakistani film Teefa In Trouble has opened to a thunderous response all across the country.
In its first two days, the film collected PKR 48 million (Dh1.3 million), which is a new box-office record for a local feature. Teefa braved all social-media propelled “boycott” stories and the rather insignificant protest demos outside the theatres in Karachi and Lahore where the film’s premieres were held last week, to clinch a victory.
What is especially commendable is the fact that Teefa wasn’t released on a festive occasion such as Eid or Independence Day, which are traditionally known to pull in greater crowds.
An ecstatic Zafar immediately took to Twitter to express his gratitude: “This success belongs to you all. Enjoy!” he wrote. Earlier, he posted a verse that speaks of divine justice.
