Both the films are releasing on Friday, July 8 in the theaters of Pakistan.

Third film which was slated to be released on this Eid was Sami Khan and Nazish Jahangir starrer “Lafangey” but the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) of Pakistan refused to clear the film for the release and declaring it “unfit for screening in Pakistani theatres”.

CBFC Chairman Arshad Munir said, “All the present members unanimously decided that the film was not capable of screening it in Pakistani theaters.The film uses very vulgar language and phrases with double meanings which are quite indecent.”

On the other hand, Chris Hemsworth starrer “Thor: Love and Thunder” is also releasing this weekend for Pakistani fans in the theaters. The film also stars Christian Bale and Natalie Portman in key roles.
