Pakistani romantic comedy Love Guru has outperformed Bollywood’s big-budget film Housefull 5 in global earnings.

Released on Eid-ul-Adha in Pakistan and worldwide, Love Guru has been receiving a warm response from viewers, who especially love the on-screen pairing of Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan. The chemistry between the two has become one of the film’s biggest highlights.

In the film, Mahira Khan plays an architect, while Humayun Saeed portrays a man who uses his tactics to make women fall for him. The film’s unique storyline and comedic flair have kept audiences thoroughly entertained.

The movie is directed by renowned filmmaker Nadeem Baig, written by Vasay Chaudhry and has been produced under the ARY Films banner.

Blending romance with humour, the film features elements of Pashto and Punjabi comedy, which have resonated strongly with viewers.

According to Diva Pakistan, Love Guru earned £75,000 (approximately 27 million PKR) in its second week in the UK alone, while Housefull 5 managed just £56,000 (around 20 million PKR) in the same period.

Many viewers have called Love Guru a “complete entertainer”, praising how it “beautifully blends Pakistani culture with modern cinema.” Viewers abroad described it as “a better experience than Bollywood.”
