[edit] Reception and Implications

Khuda Kay Liye was released on July 20th, 2007.

It is important to note that this is one of very few, if any, independent motion pictures to be released to a cinema-going Pakistani market. The general trend in local cinema revolves around formulaic song and dance numbers, reminiscent of Lollywood musicals. Independent film, or films that break this formula, are rare if not entirely absent.

Khuda Kay Liye was produced in conjunction with the film division of the popular TV network, Geo TV. The film is a joint venture of Pakistan, India, and the United States.[1] [2][3]
