The long-awaited moment for fans of The Legend of Maula Jatt (TLOMJ) in India has finally arrived. After facing delays and much anticipation, the Pakistani blockbuster is officially set to premiere in Indian theaters on October 2, 2024. The film, which stars Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, originally scheduled for release in December 2022, will now grace the big screens across India, two years after its initial debut.
The announcement was made via the film’s official Instagram page, which shared the exciting news:
“The Legend Of Maula Jatt’s legacy lives on! Catch the cinematic masterpiece in Indian theatres from 2nd October 2024. Book your tickets now!”
Another post highlighted the film’s remarkable journey, stating:
“Two years on, The Legend of Maula Jatt is still unstoppable! Witness the epic saga on the big screen in India from 2nd October 2024.”
With the film now slated for release, cinema lists are expected to be shared soon.
A Journey Marked by Delays and Triumphs
The path to an Indian release has been filled with obstacles. Initial reports suggested that the Indian political party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) might have opposed the film’s release in the country. Despite the potential hurdles, there were indications that the Punjab Censor Board was ready to move forward with the approval.
Although it has taken nearly two years for the film to reach Indian theaters, its success has been undeniable. The Legend of Maula Jatt, which premiered in Pakistan on October 13, 2022, quickly broke records, amassing over Rs 400 crore in global earnings by August 2023.
A Cinematic Milestone for Pakistan
The film, directed by Bilal Lashari, is a retelling of the 1979 cult classic Maula Jatt and has been widely praised for its stunning cinematography, powerful performances, and gripping storytelling. Fawad Khan’s portrayal of the iconic character Maula Jatt and Mahira Khan’s role as Mukkho Jatti have been especially lauded, making the film a significant achievement in Pakistani cinema.
As the Indian audience prepares to experience this cinematic masterpiece, the October release of The Legend of Maula Jatt marks another milestone in the film’s already illustrious legacy.
Fans in India are eagerly counting down the days to October 2nd, when they’ll finally get the chance to watch this epic saga on the big screen.
