Ho Mann Jahaan (Urdu: ہو من جہاں) is a 2016 Pakistani coming-of-age drama film, written and directed by Asim Raza at his directorial debut. The screenplay was written by Rashna Abdi, Imtisal Abbasi and Asim Raza, while dialogues were written by Yasir Hussain and Asim Raza. The film stars Mahira Khan, Sheheryar Munawar, Adeel Hussain and Sonya Jehan along with veterans Bushra Ansari, Kainat Saleem , Arshad Mahmud, Jamal Shah and Munawar Siddiqui.
The film was released in the Middle East on 31 December 2015 by ARY Films and on January 1, 2016 in Pakistan.
The film opened to an exorbitant box office weekend and went on to run for several weeks making it one the highest grossing films of 2016. In Dec 2016 Ho mann Jahaan was showcased at the Pakistani Film Festival in New York.
Ho Mann Jahaan is a coming of age urban story set in present-day Karachi. The film revolves around three main characters – Arhan (Sheheryar Munawar), Manizeh (Mahira Khan) and Nadir (Adeel Husain). The story is about their friendship born out of shared experiences, passion for music and aspiration for fame. Sonya Jehan plays the role of Sabina, a powerful independent character symbolizing strength and wisdom. The film is a reflection of the current dichotomy that exists in our society where we talk of free will but readily accept conformity. Parents impose restrictions and dictate terms, because they love their children but at times don't understand them. This is a film of many layers, connecting to both younger as well as the older generation.
