Love Guru Dethrones The Legend of Maula Jatt at Box Office

Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan’s latest movie Love Guru has stormed past The Legend of Maula Jatt, setting a new benchmark in box office history.

Released strategically over the Eidul Azha holiday, Love Guru has not only captivated audiences nationwide but also carved a formidable presence in international markets. The film raked in a massive Rs120 million during its first week, eclipsing The Legend of Maula Jatt, which had previously held the record with Rs110 million. Its worldwide tally now sits at an astounding Rs280 million, sending ripples of excitement through both fans and filmmakers alike.

The secret to Love Guru’s meteoric rise? A magnetic blend of star power, heartfelt storytelling, and calculated marketing brilliance. The beloved pairing of Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan—arguably the most bankable duo in the Pakistani entertainment sphere—has once again proven irresistible. Their palpable on-screen chemistry, guided by the seasoned directorial finesse of Nadeem Baig, has drawn fans in droves, from Karachi to California.

Speaking at a buzzing promotional event abroad, Mahira Khan beamed with optimism, expressing her dream for the film to reach the Rs1 billion mark. With her characteristic charm, she urged the crowd, “Everyone say Ameen,” turning a hopeful wish into a viral moment.

Meanwhile, Humayun Saeed, ever the showman, gave credit where it was due. “Nadeem Baig is the best director in the country,” he declared with conviction, cheekily adding, “He charges me full price, but he’s worth it.”

What’s more, Love Guru isn’t just breaking numbers—it’s reviving the pulse of Pakistani cinema. Industry experts have lauded the film as a sign of renewed global interest in local storytelling. With packed screenings in the UK, US, and Gulf states, it’s clear that the film’s success extends far beyond domestic borders.

Saeed noted, “If my film earns Rs500 million in my own country, that would be enough for me… but I hope it will go beyond that.” Judging by the momentum, it just might.
