Film Awaits Censor Approval Before Screening
Indian Punjabi film Dastar is expected to release in cinemas across Pakistan on July 17. The release will depend on final approval from Pakistan’s censor authorities.
According to reports, the film will be screened under Pakistan’s import policy for foreign films. It can only be shown in local cinemas after completing all regulatory and censor requirements.
The planned release has created interest among Punjabi cinema fans. Cross-border Punjabi films often attract audiences because of their shared language, culture and emotional storytelling.
If approved, Dastar will become one of the selected foreign films allowed to screen in Pakistan under the existing import and exhibition policy.
Tarsem Jassar Leads Action Drama
Dastar features well-known Punjabi actor Tarsem Jassar in the lead role. Geet Goraya also appears in a key role.
The film is directed by Amar Hundal. It has been produced by White Hill Studios, a major name in Punjabi film production.
The movie is described as an action drama. Its story is built around courage, sacrifice, faith and identity. These themes are expected to connect strongly with Punjabi-speaking audiences on both sides of the border.
Distributors believe the film has the potential to perform well in Pakistan, especially among viewers who follow Punjabi cinema and regional storytelling.
Wali Films Secures Pakistan Distribution
The distribution rights for Dastar in Pakistan have been secured by Wali Films Distribution Company. The company will manage the film’s release once the censor process is completed.
According to distributors, cinema screening will begin only after official clearance is granted. The release schedule may depend on the approval timeline and cinema programming.
The arrival of Dastar in Pakistani cinemas also reflects the continuing demand for Punjabi-language films. Viewers in Pakistan have shown interest in action, family and cultural dramas from the region.
The film’s release under the foreign film import policy shows how selected international productions can still reach Pakistani audiences through approved legal channels.
For now, all eyes are on the censor approval process. If cleared, Dastar will hit Pakistani cinemas on July 17 and offer audiences a new Punjabi action drama on the big screen.
