Director Statement

Republic of Jhangistan talks about really serious topics with a satirical theme. Given the situation we have in our nation RoJ strikes a relevance and makes the audience think about the mess we've gotten ourselves into. We've tried to uncover the baseless wannabe attitude of our so called social media influencers and how the lust for popularity makes you vulnerable to a change and it's interpretation and misinterpretations by our society.
