The 15th death anniversary of famous film director Pervaiz Malik was observed on Saturday. 

Seasoned film director Pervaiz Malik died of cardiac arrest in Islamabad on this day in 2008.

Born in 1937 in Karachi, Pervez Malik cultivated a certain type of cinema in Pakistan that has never been replicated.

He directed more than 20 films. His treasure trove of cinema includes “Heera Aur Pathar”, “Ehsaan”, “Doraha”, “Meherbani”, and “Qurbani” and all time blockbuster “Armaan”.

He was the first qualified film director of the country having a foreign degree. His craft though, spoke volumes more, earning him the President’s Pride of Performance award for his directorial contributions.
