Jujji<\/em> took two years to develop and was originally a grassroots effort to bring Rawalpindi\u2019s stories to an international audience. The film went on to win Best Feature at both the Gandhara Independent Film Festival 2024 and the Punjab Police Film Festival 2024. It was also screened at the Divvy Film Festival 2024.<\/p>\n

Director Habib Shahzad described the film as a symbol of what Pakistani cinema can achieve when it embraces its own stories. \u201cWe wanted to show Rawalpindi as it really is, while also telling a story that connects with people everywhere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Buffalo 8\u2019s distribution head Nikki Stier Justice called Jujji<\/em> a bold, genre-breaking thriller that combines South Asian storytelling with the broad appeal of true-crime cinema. Eifa Ahmad Awan from Y\u016bgen Studios added that the film\u2019s global release is a milestone for independent filmmakers in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
