Here are our top picks of movies, both Pakistani and otherwise, to look forward to seeing on the big screen!
Teri Meri Kahaniyaan
SeePrime decided to go big when it came to summer releases. Rather than releasing one movie they decided to release three, all of which will feature some of the biggest names in the industry! In the summers of 2023 why watch one movie with you can watch three, all together?
Teri Meri Kahaniyaan is an anthology of three different movies told by some of the most renowned storytellers in Pakistan namely Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, Vasay Chaudhry, Ali Abbas Naqvi and Basit Naqvi. Each movie has a different cast, a different genre and a different story. And the best part is, we get to see all three for the price of one!
