‘Love Guru’ Reigns Supreme with PKR 28 Crore Eid Weekend Collection

In what can only be described as a cinematic sweep, ‘Love Guru’ has taken both hearts and the box office by storm, pulling in a staggering 28 crore over its Eid-ul-Azha debut weekend. Directed by crowd-favorite Nadeem Baig and scripted with flair by Vasay Chaudhry, the film hit cinemas nationwide on June 7, 2025, and quickly ignited a buzz that refuses to simmer down.

A Rom-Com Recipe That Clicked

Starring the ever-charismatic Humayun Saeed alongside the luminous Mahira Khan, Love Guru is anything but your average romantic comedy. At its heart lies the story of a self-proclaimed relationship expert who gets a taste of his own medicine when he unexpectedly falls for Sofia, a confident and independent architect living in London.

Shot between the bustling streets of Karachi and the urban elegance of London, the film delivers a visual and emotional blend that resonates across borders. The sizzling chemistry between the leads—previewed in its widely appreciated teaser and trailer—translates effortlessly on screen, giving audiences a hearty mix of wit, charm, and romantic tension.

Numbers Don’t Lie: Eid Magic or Cinematic Gold?

Love Guru didn’t just open strong—it exploded. With PKR 12.8 crore earned domestically and another PKR 15.4 crore from international circuits, it has outshone even previous blockbusters like The Legend of Maula Jatt, which pulled in PKR 11.8 crore during its opening weekend.

This cross-border appeal speaks to more than just smart marketing; it reflects a storyline and star power that resonate with a diverse global audience. Social media platforms have lit up with fan reactions, many praising Mahira’s performance as “phenomenal” and celebrating the film for breaking the mold of traditional Pakistani rom-coms.

Dividing Critics, Uniting Audiences

While some skeptics argue that Love Guru owes its record-breaking numbers more to the holiday hype than substance, the overall consensus suggests the film is a crowd-pleaser. One viewer called it “top-tier entertainment,” applauding its production quality and performances.

Even with mixed critical reviews, there’s no denying Love Guru has struck a chord with viewers looking for laughter, love, and a little escape this Eid. As box office numbers continue to climb, it looks like this Love Guru has not only given advice but also taken center stage in Pakistan’s cinematic calendar.

Whether you’re in it for the romance, the laughs, or just a feel-good flick, Love Guru is the film everyone’s talking about—and the numbers prove it.

Pakistani supermodel-turned-actress Amna Ilyas has always been known for her personality and unfiltered honesty, from dominating fashion runways to delivering powerful performances on television, she has carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry. But this time, it’s not her acting that’s making headlines it’s her remarks about marriage.

Amna, who stepped into television opposite Azfar Rehman in the Hum TV drama Janam Jali, has since proven her versatility with back-to-back strong performances. She recently impressed audiences in Humraaz and is currently earning applause for her role in Aik Aur Pakeezah.

For years, fans speculated about her rumored association with theatre director Dawar Mehmood, though neither publicly confirmed the relationship. Eventually, the two reportedly went their separate ways, and since then, Amna has remained single, much to the intrigue of her admirers.

“Find Me a Husband!” — Amna’s On-Air Appeal

During a recent appearance alongside morning show queens Nida Yasir and Javeria Saud, the conversation naturally steered toward her marriage plans. Instead of dodging the question, Amna responded with her signature humor.

She openly declared that she’s ready to tie the knot and jokingly assigned her celebrity friends the task of finding her a suitable match. With a playful tone, she teased them for not fulfilling their “friendship duties” and insisted they start searching seriously.

She wants someone good-looking, emotionally mature, financially stable, and most importantly, a total “green flag.” Her lighthearted yet honest confession had the audience laughing, but it also revealed her sincere desire to settle down with the right person.

Yasir Hussain Reveals What Really Happened After His Online Feud With Nadia Khan

Pakistani actor, writer, and now full-time producer Yasir Hussain has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind. Known for his outspoken personality and bold humor, Yasir recently found himself in the middle of an online showdown with actress-turned-critic Nadia Khan and fans were glued to every update.

The “Paradise” Controversy

Yasir’s latest project, Paradise, marked a significant step in his career as he not only produced but also directed the drama. While the project generated buzz, it also faced criticism, most notably on Nadia Khan’s review show Kya Drama Hai.

Nadia, who has transitioned into drama reviewing, didn’t hold back. She rated Paradise 2.5 out of 5, expressing that the drama failed to impress her as a strong production. Her remarks quickly made waves across social media.

Taking to Instagram, Yasir fired back with his own sarcastic rating for Nadia, stating he would give her 1.5 marks instead. He made it clear he wasn’t particularly impressed by the critique either. The digital sparring instantly became a hot topic in the entertainment circuit.

Face-to-Face After the Controversy

During his recent appearance on Shan e Suhoor, Yasir opened up about meeting Nadia Khan at an event after their public disagreement. Instead of awkwardness or hostility, the encounter turned out surprisingly cordial.

Yasir shared that he approached Nadia, greeted her warmly, and she responded with equal grace. No drama and no cold shoulders.

“No Personal Grudge”

While Yasir maintained that he is not a fan of Kya Drama Hai and believes the panellists are not in a position to harshly judge others, he clarified that his reaction came from the moment, not from personal bitterness. He acknowledged Nadia’s long-standing contribution to Pakistani television and credited her for her successful run as a morning show host, loved by millions.

Waseem Badami Breaks Down on Live TV as Ahmed Shah Cries Remembering Late Brother

For years, Waseem Badami has been the face of Ramadan transmissions on ARY Digital, building not just a successful show but heartfelt connections with his team  especially the beloved Shah brothers.

Viewers of Shan e Ramzan have watched these children grow up before their eyes. Among them was Umer Shah, whose presence once brought innocence and joy to the transmission. His tragic passing left a deep void not only within his family but also among those who worked closely with him.

An Emotional Moment on Shan e Ramzan

During a recent segment featuring young participants, Waseem Badami made a heartfelt appeal to viewers. He asked the audience to remember Ahmed Shah’s mother in their prayers, hoping she finds strength and comfort during this unimaginable time.

As memories of Umer surfaced, Badami visibly struggled to maintain his composure. His voice trembled and tears welled up, sitting beside him, young Ahmed Shah also broke down, clearly overwhelmed by the absence of his brother, who had once been an integral part of the show.

The once cheerful “Nanhe Mehman” segment transformed into a deeply emotional tribute, reminding everyone how painful it is to lose someone so young.

Over the years, Badami has shared a special rapport with the Shah siblings. Their interactions always reflected warmth and mutual affection.

This Ramadan, the absence of Umer is being felt more than ever.

Internet Reacts

As clips from the episode circulated online, social media users expressed mixed emotions.

Many praised Ahmed’s strength, with one viewer commenting that the young boy showed immense bravery by comforting Badami during the emotional moment.

However, not everyone agreed with how the situation unfolded on screen. Some questioned whether revisiting the tragedy on national television was necessary. Others went further, suggesting that emotional content often boosts ratings during Ramadan transmissions.
