Pakistani film “Load Wedding” wins Best Feature Film (International) award in Rajasthan, India
Although Load Wedding couldn’t do much business in Pakistan (that’s another controversy altogether) the film did manage to earn critical acclaim for its storyline, its sarcastic humor and of course top notch direction and performances by its lead cast. Starring the versatile Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat in the lead, Load Wedding, was recently nominated for the Best Feature Film (international) category at the prestigious Rajasthan International Film Festival (RIFF) in India and has now won the award.
Impressing the jury with its storyline and performances, Load Wedding, went on to grab the jury award in the Best Feature Film (International) category.
