Zindagi Tamasha

Zindagi Tamasha (Urdu: زندگی تماشہ), titled Circus of Life in English, is a 2019 Pakistani drama film directed by Sarmad Khoosat. It premiered at the 24th Busan International Film Festival on 6 October 2019 and went on to win notable awards at Busan (BIFF 2019), 2020 Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival (MISAFF20), 23rd UK Asian Film Festival and the 6th Asian World Film Festival. The release of the film was repeatedly delayed due to censorship concerns and protests by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan. After multiple delayed releases and the censorship it faced, Sarmad eventually released it on YouTube and Vimeo on 4 August 2023. Later, it was also made available on myco app. In a groundbreaking move, TikTok collaborated with Khoosat Films to bring Zindagi Tamasha to its platform, marking the first-ever full-length film release on the popular short-form video app. Quotes about Zindagi Tamasha Although no movement is named, fundamentalists such as the leaders of Tehreek-e-Labbaik can easily feel targeted. They do not understand that the film is not really about extremist Islam. It is about the obnoxious power of social media haters, who can destroy a life and a reputation, a problem that does not exist in Pakistan only.
