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.
[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] Zinda Bhaag focuses on the theme of illegal immigration, highlighting the issue and the epicentre of this trend within Punjab.
In a nondescript neighbourhood of cities like Lahore, Gujranwala, Gujrat and Wazirabad within Punjab,[9] three friends are desperate to get onto the fast track to success.
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.
Lohar and Jawwad have sung a song on love and death while Bagga has contributed his vocals to two tracks, an upbeat dance-bhangra number and a romantic ballad.
