Pashto movies are films made in the Pashto language, which is spoken by people mainly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. These movies tell stories that often show the culture, traditions, and daily life of Pashto-speaking communities. They cover many different types of stories, from action-packed adventures to romantic tales and comedies.

The Beginning of Pashto Cinema (1970s)

The very first Pashto-language movie was called Yousaf Khan Sherbano. It came out on December 1, 1970. This film was a big step for Pashto cinema! It was directed by Aziz Tabassum and starred actors like Badar Munir and Yasmeen Khan.

After this first movie, more Pashto films started to be made. In 1973, two more movies were released:

  • Darra Khaiber
  • Adam Khan Durkhanay (also starring Badar Munir and Yasmeen Khan)

These early films helped to create a foundation for the Pashto film industry.

Growing Stronger (1990s)

The 1990s saw more Pashto movies being made. New actors also started their careers during this time. For example, a well-known actor named Shahid Khan made his first movie in 1992.

Here are some films from the 1990s:

  • Qayamat Shipa (1992) - This was Shahid Khan's very first movie!
  • Bala (1992)
  • Da Veno Sailab (1993)
  • Wehshi (1993)
  • Da Shaitano Jang (1993)

These movies helped Pashto cinema to grow and become more popular.

Modern Pashto Films (2000s and 2010s)

In the 2000s and 2010s, the Pashto film industry continued to produce many movies each year. These films featured a mix of action, romance, and comedy, often starring popular actors like Shahid Khan, Arbaz Khan, Jahangir Khan, and Sidra Noor.
