Khirki invites you to a screening of Jamil Dehlavi's, The Blood of Hussain (1980) at Research and Publication Centre (RPC) on Saturday, June 20, 2026 at 5:00 pm. This film was banned by Zia-ul-Haq, due to its potrayal of a fictional military elite. Set in the 1970s, the film is an allegorical retelling of the historic Battle of Karbala, following a farmer who leads a rebellion against a tyrannical regime.
Address: Research & Publication Centre, 2nd Floor, 65 Main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore (Next to Standard Chartered Bank, above Indesign showroom).
The screening will be followed by an informal discussion over tea. Lift is operational.
