Maula Jatt (Punjabi: مولا جٹ) is one of the most popular films in the history Pakistani cinema. It is a Punjabi film starring legendary actor Sultan Rahi in the lead role and with Aseia and Mustafa Qureshi as the villain Noori Nuth.

Maula Jutt was a classic, a film that scored heavily and reached cult status both in Pakistan & India. Such was the impact of the film that it was copied by film makers in India and also in Pakistan where several films with the sufix "Jatt" was used. However, no copy of this film could ever hope to match the outstanding dialogues in the film and the chemistry between Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi.

This movie belongs to a different genre and represents a culture which is so much part of the rural Punjab.[1]
