A New Era for Pakistani Horror?
Produced by Geo Films and directed by Rafay Rashdi, Deemak has become the country highest-grossing horror movie, earning Rs70 million in just two days during Eid. But is it just jump scares, or does it have a deeper story? Let’s break it down.
Box Office Success: Record-Breaking Numbers
Deemak has outperformed all expectations, proving that Pakistani audiences love horror. Here a quick look at its earnings:
Metric | Details |
Opening Day | Rs35 million |
2-Day Total | Rs70 million (biggest horror opener) |
Theatres | Nationwide (Mandviwala Entertainment) |

This success puts Deemak ahead of past horror films like Zibahkhana (2007) and Aksbandh (2016).
