Zinda Bhaag (Urdu: زندہ بھاگ) is a 2013 Pakistani Punjabi-language drama film co-directed by Meenu Gaur and Farjad Nabi,[2] and produced by Mazhar Zaidi.[3] The film focuses on the issue of illegal migration.[4] The film had a premiere on 19 September 2013 and a theatrical release on 20 September.[5] The film was selected as the Pakistani entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, the first in over 50 years.[6] The film was made as part of a project on masculinity titled Let's Talk Men, affiliated with United Nations agencies for the prevention of gender-based violence.[7]
Plot
Zinda Bhaag focuses on the theme of illegal immigration, highlighting the issue and the epicentre of this trend within Punjab.[8] The story of Zinda Bhaag unravels the theme of illegal immigration, called 'dunky'. This involves inhuman and dangerous methods of crossing borders into foreign lands.[4] It is a film about three young men trying to escape the reality of their everyday lives and succeeding in ways they had least expected. In a nondescript neighbourhood of cities like Lahore or Wazirabad within Punjab,[9] three friends are desperate to get onto the fast track to success. Khaldi, Taambi, and Chitta, all in their early twenties, believe that the only way out is to the West. The journey that unfolds through the story of this film gives us an insight into what constitutes the everyday lives of many young men and women in Pakistan – a sense of entitlement that cannot be fulfilled, desperation to somehow prove themselves in the face of all legitimate doors being locked, and an ennui from which they feel there is no getaway.[10]
