Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (lit. 'Youth won't come again'), sometimes abbreviated as JPNA is a 2015 Pakistani adventure comedy film directed by Nadeem Baig. It was co-produced by Humayun Saeed, Salman Iqbal and Shahzad Nasib at Saeed's production house, Six Sigma Plus. It is the first installment in the Jawani Phir Nahi Ani film series. The film stars Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ahmad Ali Butt, Vasay Chaudhry and Mehwish Hayat.[2][3] The supporting cast includes Sohai Ali Abro, Jawed Sheikh, Ismail Tara, Bushra Ansari, Ayesha Khan, Sarwat Gillani and Uzma Khan. The film is about a single man who is a divorce lawyer. He takes his three married friends on a trip to help them escape their wives and the monotony of their lives.

The film was shot in various locations in Thailand including Bangkok, Pattaya and Coral Island.[4] A few scenes were shot in Karachi. On 5 June 2015, the film wrapped up and the post-production began. The film was released on Eid al-Adha, 25 September 2015. It received positive reviews from critics and grossed Rs. 494 million worldwide, becoming the highest grossing Pakistani film to that date, breaking the record of Waar (2013). This record was then broken by Punjab Nahi Jaungi (2017).[1] It is currently the sixth-highest-grossing Pakistani film.

A sequel, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2, was released on August 22, 2018, with Baig returning as a director.
