This Punjabi Maula Jutt (1979) became a landmark classic Blood and Gore that started the trend of violent Punjabi films in 1980s Pakistan. It was used as a model and copied by many film producers and directors to achieve similar box office success. General Zia's military government in Pakistan at the time tried to stop the film a few weeks after its release, but Sarwar Bhatti managed to secure a residency order allowing the film to be shown in theaters for two years. Maula Jutt was a huge hit in the 1980s and spawned a number of sequels, making it the franchise's first successful unofficial title in Lollywood. The success of Maula Jutt gave birth to Maula Jutt tey Noorie Nut and Maula Jutt in London and continues to influence popular culture. Productions such as the 2002 drama Jatt and Bond used Maula Jutt as their "inspiration". Pakistan's highest-grossing film director Waar Bilal Lashari has announced that he will be making an official remake of Maula Jutt. Reviewers of this iconic film have forgotten the impact this big picture had on generations of Punjabi film fans. Ask any Pakistani and they will tell you about Maula Jutt. The critique misses the irony and meaning of the image. You have to accept poor production values, hammy acting and violence. Think grindhouse and B-movie exploits from the '70s sandbox and you'll get the idea. You also have to consider that the relative audience for these films is small, and it's amazing that they were made at all. Moreover, it is actually the third film in a series of films and also the most popular. Before that Bashira and Weshi Jat. The film is basically a clash between two “tribes” or castes who are proud of their heritage and honor. The thought of honor is an ongoing theme. This Punjabi film is about doing the right thing, even if it means sacrificing your life. It's interesting how "Gandasa" is represented. The idea that gandasa is an extension of the jat personality and that when he reaches his limit, he digs into gandasa and his blood is spilled! A lot of this is wrong. Gandasa represents the anger of Jat. Mustafa Qureshi's threatening performance as Noori Nath has to go down in history as one of the greatest performances in Pakistani cinema. The film is over 30 years old and the classic dialogue is still spoken on the streets of Lahore and elsewhere - "Nava aaye sohinya!" - I can't beat him.
