Pakistani cinema scored a major win this Eid as Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan’s romantic comedy Love Guru outperformed Bollywood’s Housefull 5 at the global box office. The two films, which released simultaneously on June 6, went head-to-head in a high-stakes cinematic showdown — and the Pakistani title came out on top.
According to international box office reports, Love Guru grossed approximately £75,000 (Rs. 27 million) in its second week in UK cinemas, while Akshay Kumar’s comedy franchise sequel Housefull 5 trailed behind with £56,000 (Rs. 20 million). The strong overseas performance reflects a growing appreciation for Pakistani films among global audiences.

Foreign viewers praised Love Guru for its engaging storytelling and fresh appeal, even calling it a “better experience than Bollywood.” The film is directed by Nadeem Baig and scripted by Vasay Chaudhry, and features a star-studded cast including Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Ramsha Khan, Ahmed Ali Butt, and several industry veterans.
Produced by Six Sigma Plus, Salman Iqbal Films, and ARY Films, Love Guru is proving to be more than just a holiday release — it’s a statement about the rising quality and global competitiveness of Pakistani cinema.
