Eid ul Fitr 2026 is set to bring fresh excitement for Pakistani audiences as several films prepare for release in cinemas along with major television premieres. The occasion marks a significant moment for the local film industry, which has faced challenges in recent years.
After the slowdown following Covid, Pakistani cinema struggled to maintain momentum. Film releases declined, and audiences had fewer options in theaters. This Eid, however, signals a renewed effort to bring viewers back with a mix of new films and popular titles on television.

Javed Sheikh also plays a key role, while Tabish Hashmi makes his acting debut. The cast has actively promoted the film ahead of its release.
Bullah marks the return of Shaan Shahid to the big screen. The film presents him in the role of a vigilante character who fights for justice. Mona Lisa, Saleem Sheikh, and Naeema Butt also appear in supporting roles. The film targets action fans looking for a strong storyline.
