The ARY Film Award for Best Director (officially known as the ARY Film Award for Best Directing) is an award presented annually by the ARY Digital Network and Entertainment Channel. It is given in honor of a film director who has exhibited outstanding directing while working in the film industry. The 1st ARY Film Awards were held in 2014 and Bilal Lashari was given this award for his direction for Waar. Currently, nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the directors branch of ARY Digital Network while winners are selected by a public voting.[citation needed]

In order to maintain the balance and authenticity, Best Director - Jury is also presented at ceremony, where winners are only revealed during the ceremony based on Jury votings. The ARY Film Award for Best Directing and Best Film have been very closely linked throughout their history. At first year ceremony both awards were presented to Waar. As of 2016 Ceremony, Nadeem Beyg is the most recent winner in this category for his work in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani.[1]
