    The Legend of Maula Jatt Review: Pakistani Cinema's Thunderous Great Leap Forward

    Bilal Lashari's The Legend of Maula Jatt reinvents a Punjabi folk legend as a blood-soaked operatic epic — a watershed for Pakistani cinema, staged with staggering visual ambition and crowned by two titanic performances.

    A roaring, gorgeously mounted mythic epic that vaults Pakistani filmmaking onto the world stage. Maximalist, thrilling and unmissable.
