An Urdu/Punjabi-language social action-drama directed by Parvez Rana, starring Shaan, Nargis, Moammar Rana, and Shafqat Cheema. Released across Pakistan on 5 January 2007, and produced in Lahore. Plot centers on Wehshi (Shaan), a young man manipulated into alcohol and used as a pawn by his uncle to exact vengeance after familial murder. This original film’s promotional poster touts “3 Sexy Heroines, 4 Kamasutra Dances, Complete Mujra Party,” reflecting early 2000s erotic VCD-era marketing, though its narrative is rooted in “gandasa” tropes—betrayal, blood feuds, and vigilante justice . Box-office performance remains undocumented; no records indicate it achieved commercial success.

Exhibited in “Spasial Program” at SculptureCenter, New York, June 18 –July 28, 2025. 

Availability: Free pickup on July 29, or worldwide shipping (price excludes shipping).
