Zindagi Tamasha, titled Circus of Life in English, is a 2019 Pakistani drama film directed by Sarmad Khoosat. It premiered at the 24th Busan International Film Festival and went on to win notable awards at both Busan and the 2021 Asian World Film Festival in Los Angeles. The release of the film was repeatedly delayed due to censorship concerns and protests by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan.[1][2]
After multiple delayed releases and the censorship it faced, it was eventually released on YouTube on 4 August 2023.[3] Later, it was also made available on myco app.[4] In a groundbreaking move, TikTok collaborated with Khoosat Films to bring Zindagi Tamasha to its platform, marking the first-ever full-length film release on the popular short-form video app.[5][6]
