An August 14 Gift: Maula Jatt Wins Twice at Jackie Chan Action Film Week

14 August 2026

What better Independence Day news: Bilal Lashari's "The Legend of Maula Jatt" has won 2 awards at China's Jackie Chan International Action Film Week, per Dawn Images. Pakistan's biggest blockbuster has now claimed its place on the world action-cinema map.

The Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi starrer was already the most successful film in Pakistani cinema history — and international festival recognition confirms that Pakistani storytelling (and Pakistani costume design — remember those gandasa-era looks?) is export-grade.

Fashion desk angle: Maula Jatt's costume design sparked the "Punjabi warrior-core" trend back in 2022 — earthy tones, rugged layering, statement shawls — and it still echoes through menswear editorials. 79 years of independence on one side, Pakistani cinema's new flight on the other. Congratulations on both. 🇵🇰
