Lollywood’s Top 5 earning movies of 2019:
1) Superstar ₨ 27.01 crore (US$1.9 million)
Superstar, starring the superstar herself: Mahira Khan is a no-brainer. The film revolves around an aspiring actress “Noori” who wishes to reach a high level of stardom in the industry, Bilal Ashraf as the male lead Sameer. Lucky for her, she falls from cloud-nine for the son of a Superstar.
“Superstar” cements it’s status as the top earner of 2019, leaving every other film in the dust by a wide margin.
2) Parey Hut Love ₨ 26.8 crore (US$1.9 million)
Parey Hut Love is another rom-com that follows a romance blossom between the ever-eccentric Sheheryar (Sheheryar Munawar)Â and a no-nonsense girl with an ironclad resolve Saniya (Maya Ali). Directed by Asim Raza the film follows the lead characters’ budding relationship as they have a series of unexpected stints at weddings of their friends and family.
The film lost the top-grossing title of 2019 to Superstar by a small margin.
3) Wrong No. 2 ₨ 21.65 crore (US$1.5 million)
Wrong No.2 is a rag-tag affair between romance and comedy. It is the sequel to the 2015 film Wrong No. The film portrays the love story of a rich heiress named Zoya (Neelam Munir). Who falls in love with a man who goes by Omar (Sami Khan). Omar hails from a miserly background, far below Zoya’s financial status. Not your average ‘the princess and the pauper fairytale’. All goes into disarray when a former lover makes an appearance.
4) Chhalawa ₨ 17.90 crore (US$1.3 million)
Chhalawa is another Pakistani rom-com on the list. Chhawala reflects on parental influence on marriage. As well as how they can act as a barrier between love.
