Said to be the most expensive Pakistani film ever to be made, the film is rumoured to be partly funded by the military, a charge denied by the film director Bilal Lashari.
The film is about Pakistan's fight against terror but seems to lay the blame for everything bad happening in the country at India's doorstep.
The script revolves around a plot by 'Indian agents' to carry out the biggest ever blast in Pakistan.
After a first day opening of Rs 11.4 million the big budget flick earned a total of Rs 42.6 million till Friday night, breaking all previous records of Eid collections.
