It seems Pakistan really enjoyed the performance of Mehwish Hayat, Om Puri and Fahad Mustafa in Nabeel Qureshi’s Actor in Law.
The Pakistani film has become the 2nd highest Pakistani opener after Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. It also broke the record of Ho Mann Jahaan’s opening day business record and has now become the biggest opener of 2016.
Actor in Law took in 1.65 Crores during its opening day with 1.32 crores at the overseas box office.
Here is what the public had to say about the movie:
Saw #ActorInLaw yesterday and was blown away. It was so intelligent and funny and stylish. There’s hope for Pakistani cinema after all.

#ActorInLaw is pretty decent and enjoyable and probably the best shot film after Moor.

While Janaan struggled to find the top place at the domestic box office, it seems the movie is doing quite well overseas, easily leaving behind Actor in Law. Here are the official numbers.
Domestic collection: 1.04 crore
International collection: 2.03 crore
With these results, it may even break the record of Bin Roye internationally.
Here’s what the public thought of the movie.

Expect a Pakistani film to be about a cousin love triangle.#Janaan

Armeena Rana Khan is such a beautiful face. What would have killed the producers to use less make up on her. Too made up imho. #Janaan

#Janaan was AWESOME! Love the little cultural nuances of Pathan culture and the focus on child abuse. It was a great well rounded story.
