While the films appear to be doing well with good reviews, sold-out shows and outstanding box-office numbers, Load Wedding Director Nabeel Qureshi, recently took to social media claiming that his film is the target of “cinema mafia which is trying to push us down.”
Taking to Twitter, Qureshi said, “Just got this! Only one show of Load Wedding which is also at 10:30 am in the morning, what is this? Cinegold Bahria Pindi, this is pure cinema mafia which is trying to push us down!” adding, “They are defying the word of mouth! Death of independent filmmakers in Pakistan!”

The filmmaker also termed this injustice as Dhandali. Let’s have a look at the tweet:

In response to the filmmaker observations, several social media users responded and they were also saying the same as Nabeel had shared.
The movie production also posted news of their success despite facing injustice and not given proper showtimes as their competitors are.
