    Taxali Gate celebrates International Women’s Day with free screening

    Did you know that ladies can now watch the recently released movie ‘Taxali Gate’ for free on the occasion of International Women’s Day?
    The makers have announced that they have arranged special shows for women across Pakistan on March 8, also known as International Women’s Day.

    The move has been made to honour all the hardworking women of the country. “You work hard every day, it’s time for you to relax and watch your favourite movie that coincidentally talks about your rights,” the makers said in an Instagram post.

    They said that Taxali Gate is paying a small token of appreciation to the women of Pakistan. A special show will be screened for women across Pakistan tomorrow, while the ticket will be absolutely free of cost.

    Women in Karachi can watch the movie for free at Cinepax and Ocean Mall. The movie will be available for the Islamabad audience at Cinepax and Jinnah Park Rawalpindi. Whereas, women in Lahore can watch Taxali Gate at Cinepax and Packages Mall.

    Directed by Abu Aleeha, the movie is a revenge-thriller courtroom drama that tackles rape, the complexities of the legal system, and class dynamics entrenched within society.

    The movie stars Ayesha Omar, Yasir Hussain, Mehar Bano, Umer Aalam, Iffat Omar, Nayyer Ejaz, Abu Aleeha, Babar Ali, Iftikhar Thakur, Alyy Khan, Khaled Anam, and Sheharyar Cheema.

    Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Noor-ul-Haq Qadri has reportedly written a letter to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and proposed to observe International Hijab Day on March 8 which is also celebrated as International Women’s Day, reports Jang.

    The minister also sent a copy of his letter to President Dr Arif Alvi.

    The letter states that Hijab Day would draw the world’s attention towards the discrimination happening against Muslim women in Indian-Occupied Kashmir (IoK) and India.

    On the occasion of March 8, several women’s rights organisations organise Aurat March in form of rallies across the country to talk about the issues faced by women in the communities of Pakistan.
