KARACHI: On the international front, Pakistani cinema is making an undeniably strong impact. The slow yet steady resurgence of the industry is finally being recognized on the global stage. After years of struggle, Pakistani films are gaining the commercial and critical recognition they deserve. Deemak and Nayab have won top honors at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Film Festival 2025. The five-day festival in Yangzhou, China, became a landmark moment for Pakistani films. Deemak, a psychological horror film directed by Rafay Rashdi, took home the Best Editing Award. The film has already made historic business at the box office cementing itself as the most commercially and critically acclaimed horror movie to emerge from Pakistan.

Samina Peerzada and Sonya Hussaiyn may have just been warring on film as onscreen mother – and daughter-in-law in Deemak, but it will surprise no one to learn that in real life, both stars are united when it comes to denouncing the one issue that encompasses all women: body-shaming. "We should not body-shame anyone," stated Samina categorically during a recent appearance on a local talk show.
