Maula Jatt
A humble tribute to the movie Maula Jatt (1979) and Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi, the two stars of the film. The movie is a story of a family feud, a righteous warrior, a psychopathic supervillain and the fight of good vs. evil between these two.
In a time of political unrest and economic struggles, this film and many (too?) similar movies after it, were an escape from reality and provided catharsis to the people of Pakistan. They saw in these films injustices being corrected and oppressors getting their asses beaten.
Or maybe these films just helped pacify the masses. Either way Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi are legends of the Pakistani cinema and should be celebrated. And the film still holds up in its entertainment value. It is filled with amazing dialogue, baffling action sequences and hilarious moments both intentional and unintentional. Please look it up on youtube.
Gameplay is inspired (or copied) from One Finger Death Punch. Left click to left attack and right click to right attack. Or use left and right keys on keyboard.
