An Urdu/Punjabi-language action film directed by Sangeeta, Ziddi Badmash stars Moammar Rana and Saud as blood-drenched anti-heroes wielding AK-47s, emblems of rural vengeance cinema. Released in 2008, the film immerses itself in the hyper-masculine world of "gandasa" justice, complete with melodramatic revenge arcs, mujra interludes, and sensational violence. Its promotional poster, splashed with red and framed by glamour shots of three heroines—markets a spectacle promising erotic dance sequences and full-throttle vendetta. Popular in regional Punjabi circuits, the film speaks to the period’s cinematic pivot toward visceral morality plays. Formal box office data for this film is not publicly available.
