Geo Films ‘Deemak’ Becomes Pakistan’s Biggest Horror Blockbuster
Geo Films has unleashed a cinematic monster—and its name is Deemak. This Eid, the psychological horror-thriller didn’t just creep into theaters; it devoured the Pakistani box office, racking up a jaw-dropping Rs70 million in just 48 hours; with that, Deemak has become the biggest horror blockbuster in the country’s history—terrifying, thrilling, and ultimately triumphing.
A Haunting That Hits Close to Home
Directed by Rafi Rashidi and co-written by Ayesha Muzaffar and executive producer Syed Murad Ali, Deemak is more than your typical jump-scare flick. It dives into the disturbing crevices of jinn mythology, family tensions, and psychological unraveling—offering an eerily fresh narrative for Pakistani audiences. The film haunts with style, but it also resonates emotionally, addressing real-world social issues cloaked in fear.
Deemak lures viewers into a maze of paranoia and suspense, with every frame loaded with dread and every twist more shocking than the last.
A Cast That Brought the Nightmares to Life
At the heart of Deemak is a stellar cast delivering bone-chilling performances. Faisal Qureshi and Sonia Hussain bring intense gravitas to their roles, while legends like Bushra Ansari, Javed Sheikh, and Samina Pirzada add emotional depth—and a sense of real terror—to the eerie world onscreen. Pirzada, in particular, has earned widespread acclaim for a performance that’s already being called one of her finest.
Audiences across Pakistan have emerged from cinemas wide-eyed and breathless, raving that the film “feels like a Bollywood-level thriller” with the soul of Pakistani storytelling.
