Naman Ramachandran Pakistani cinema is poised to embrace the horror genre again with “Deemak” (meaning “Termite”), a psychological supernatural thriller.
The film represents a significant push to elevate local cinema with high production values and compelling storytelling. Directed by Rafay Rashdi (“Badshah Begum,” “The Java Plum Tree”) and written by Ayesha Muzaffar (author of “Abus Jinns” and “Jinnistan”), “Deemak” explores the volatile relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law against a backdrop of escalating paranormal disturbances in a family home.
The film is produced under Wah Wah Productions with Syed Murad Ali serving as executive producer. The film assembles a cast of Pakistani talent including Faysal Quraishi (“Money Back Guarantee”), Sonya Hussyn (“Tich Button”), Samina Peerzada (“Balaa”), Javed Sheikh (“Chand Nagar”) and Bushra Ansari (“Tere Bin”).
Distribution will be handled by Mandviwalla Entertainment with media partnership from Geo Films. “Deemak” follows a family whose home becomes the site of increasingly disturbing supernatural phenomena.
