Parwaaz Hai Junoon

Parwaaz Hai Junoon (Urdu: پرواز ہے جنون; lit: Soaring is Passion) is a 2018 Pakistani aerial combat-war romantic film, directed by Haseeb Hassan (in his directorial debut), produced by Momina Duraid and written by Farhat Ishtiaq. The film features an ensemble cast of Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ahad Raza Mir, Hania Aamir, Kubra Khan, Alamdar Khan, Marina Khan, Shamoon Abbasi, Adnan Jaffar, Shaz Khan, Shafaat Ali, and Mustafa Changazi in pivotal roles. Earlier, Osman Khalid Butt was also a part of the film but had to withdraw as the film's shoot schedule clashed with his promotions for Balu Mahi. The film is a tribute to Pakistan Air Force.

It was released on Eid al-Adha, 24 August 2018, under Momina & Duraid Films and was distributed by Hum Films. It is the seventh-highest-grossing Pakistani film of all time.

In the picturesque mountainsides on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan, Sania (Hania Amir) finds solace in watching PAF jets soar through the skies. The narrative opens with an intense dogfight between PAF JF-17s, piloted by Hamza Haider Ali (Hamza Ali Abbasi) and Nadir Kirmani (Shaz Khan), and enemy Mirage 2000s infiltrating Pakistani airspace. Hamza’s daring manoeuvres lead to victory and, despite being reprimanded for taking dangerous risks, he draws inspiration from the legacy of Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafique.

A group of aspiring PAF fighter pilots, including Saad Khan (Ahad Raza Mir), Rashid Minhas Yousufzai (Sikander Vincent Khan Yousafzai), Zaid Ali (Shafaat Ali), Shamir Hamid, and female cadets Sania and Ujala, begin their journey at the PAF Academy. Sania faces scepticism because of her physical attributes, but her unwavering love for Pakistan earns her a place. The diverse group undergoes rigorous training, marked by humorous encounters and Saad’s initial arrogance, particularly towards Sania and the female cadets.

Meanwhile, Hamza, while preparing for Nadir’s wedding to Fiza, Sania’s cousin, meets Sania. Their playful interactions gradually blossom into a romance, with motorcycle rides and tea in the mountains becoming cherished moments for them both. Hamza’s commitment to serving as a fighter pilot, like his father before him, sparks playful banter about choosing between love and duty. As terrorist attacks increase, Hamza and Nadir are selected for critical bombing missions against Taliban militants.

Back at the academy, Saad’s jealousy intensifies, particularly as Rashid continues to excel. Zaid leaves the Air Force, emotionally affecting his friends. Sania faces numerous challenges, with Saad occasionally mocking her while also offering genuine advice. The plot takes a poignant turn when Hamza’s marriage plans encounter parental opposition, leading to a life-altering decision.

A Taliban attack near civilians prompts Hamza to carry out a heroic low-altitude strike, resulting in critical injuries and his eventual martyrdom. Hamza’s father, initially dismissive, undergoes a transformation after meeting Sania at Hamza’s grave. The narrative reveals that Sania’s journey, driven by both patriotism and her relationship with Hamza, had always been intertwined with fulfilling Hamza’s dream.

In the present day, Saad confronts his misplaced jealousy and learns about Rashid’s fiancée, Sherbatgul. Realising the baselessness of his fears, Saad apologises, and a humorous dinner scene follows. At the graduation ceremony, Sania, Saad, and Rashid receive honours, with senior officers, including a decorated Nadir, in attendance. The film concludes with Sania finding peace in the mountains while reminiscing about Hamza, alongside a hopeful scene of Saad and Sania, now flying JF-17s, hinting at a possible romance. The final vision of Hamza’s spirit saluting encapsulates the enduring impact of their journey.
