Pakistan’s once-withering film industry is in full bloom this year. With Punjab Nahi Jaungi and Na Maloom Afraad 2 exploring a myriad of genres ranging from romance and comedy to drama and tragedy, some more potential blockbusters are on their way to be at the receiving end of both critical acclaim and commercial success.

The promo of Hareem Farooq’s Parchi, Mahira Khan’s Verna and Shaan’s Arth has already blown critics and audiences alike with their sheer greatness. Now causing even greater uproar at the box-office rises the power-packed trio of Urwa Hocane, Bilal Ashraf and Gohar Rasheed behind the star-studded trailer launch of Rangreza.

The trailer launch was a glamorous affair attended by a number of celebrities and reputable names from the showbiz industry in an event hosted at a local hotel in Karachi. From Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Aisha Khan, Armeena Rana Khan, Javed Sheikh, Hania Amir and Ramsha Khan, superstars from all walks of life came forward to show the movie some love.

From the looks of its trailer, Rangreza seems to be an intense musical tale that is certainly not your mainstream love triangle. It gives us a hint to all the emotions we will be seeing in the movie – that of love, joy, anger and sadness which perfectly weave into each other showing a blend of two different cultures of music that evolve throughout the plot of the movie

Glimpses from the trailer show us Bilal Ashraf in his killer rock-star role and as a force to be reckoned with. On the other hand, we are smitten by Urwa Hocane’s desi attire and fierce acting. However, it is Gohar Rasheed sporting his badass avatar that has seized the spotlight and simply left all the ladies “hooked!” Last but not least, we also catch sight of him in his track where he continues to amuse us with his moves with the transgender community.

Marking itself as one of the most expensive Pakistani film productions to date, Rangreza is a musical romance directed by Aamir Mohiuddin, all set to release on December 21st this year as it comes in direct clash with Arth. Celebrities can’t stop raving about the trailer and fans can’t wait to witness yet another box-office brawl this New Year’s!
