The film had a premiere show on September 19\, 2013 and a wide release on September 20. 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 \nFilm Synopsis: Zinda Bhaag 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 neighborhood of Lahore\, three friends are desperate to get on to 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 a peep into what constitutes the everyday in the 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. \n  \n\n\n\n \nDirected by:\nMeenu Gaur\,Farjad Nabi\n\n\nProduced by:\nMazhar Zaidi\n\n\nStarring\nNaseeruddin Shah\n\n\n \nAmna Ilyas\n\n\n \nKhurram Patras\n\n\n\nSalman Ahmad Khan\n\n\n\nZohaib Asghar\n\n\nMusic by:\nSahir Ali Bagga\n\n\nCinematography\nSatya Rai Nagpaul\n\n\nEditing by:\nShan Muhammed\n\n\nStudio:\nMatteela Films\n\n\nDistributed by\nARY Films\n\n\n\nFootprint Entertainment\n\n\nRelease dates\nSeptember 20\, 2013 (Pakistan)\n\n\n\nOctober 18\, 2013 (US)\n\n\n \nJanuary 15\, 2014 (UAE)\n\n\nRunning Time:\n120 minutes\n\n\nCountry\nPakistan\n\n\nLanguage\n Urdu\,Punjabi\n\n\nBudget\n₨34.5 million (US$320\,000)\n\n\nBox office\n₨7.5 million (US$70\,000) first week\n\n\n\n₨20 million (US$190\,000) total grossPakistan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kszHVKT8zs \nhttp://vimeo.com/68601131 \nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt2387627/ \nhttp://movies.ndtv.com/bollywood/pakistani-film-zinda-bhaag-hit-at-abu-dhabi-fest-437951 \nhttp://tribune.com.pk/story/606469/zinda-bhaag-this-deserves-an-oscar-nod/ \nhttp://articles.latimes.com/2013/oct/21/entertainment/la-et-mn-zinda-bhaag-review-20131022 \n  \n
