The trailer for the upcoming Pakistani film Qulfee, starring Babar Ali, Shahroz Sabzwari, Javed Sheikh, Moammar Rana, and Saeeda Imtiaz, has been released, with the movie set to hit cinemas on Eidul Fitr.
The film is scheduled for release on Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 in all major cinemas across Pakistan, though specific theater names are not explicitly listed in available sources, however Nueplex Cinemas in Karachi has officially announced screenings via social media.
The film’s Instagram account (@qulfeeofficial) states it will release in “all cinemas – Pakistan”
While the release is nationwide, cinema closures and high ticket prices in cities like Karachi may affect availability. No official list of participating theaters has been published, but viewers are advised to check local cinema schedules closer to Eid.
As a romantic comedy, the trailer gives little away about the film’s storyline but hints at a mix of humour and action-packed drama. It features glimpses of all key characters and introduces a hacking subplot, adding an intriguing twist to the storyline.
Before the start of the shooting, Shahroz Sabzwari and Saeeda Imtiaz had confirmed it to the media that Qulfi would be a “fully action-packed film.”
“We haven’t started the shoots yet, but I’m training very hard for this film. It’s an action film; I need to fight in it, so I’m constantly training for that at the gym,” Images quoted Shahroz as saying.
In the trailer, Babar Ali and Adnan Shah Tipu appear as members of a gang engaged in illicit activities, while Shahroz Sabzwari’s character is shown in multiple avatars—at times as a romantic lead and others as a skilled hacker. Moammar Rana plays a police officer seemingly orchestrating the takedown of a hacker gang.
The film has been shot both in Pakistan and abroad and includes an item song, along with a romantic track sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
Directed by Mashhood Qadri, Qulfi is the first major star-studded Pakistani film announced for an Eid release this year, with most other Eid releases expected to be Punjabi or low-budget productions.
