Maula Jatt (Punjabi: مولا جٹ) is a 1979 Pakistani Punjabi language action, musical film directed by Younis Malik and produced by Sarwar Bhatti. It stars Sultan Rahi in the lead role, with Aasia, and Mustafa Qureshi as the villain Noori Natt.
This movie belongs to a genre which represents the rural culture of Pakistani central Punjab. Its success set the trend of action films being popular in Pakistan and cemented Sultan Rahi as Lollywood's main hero. The film was inspired by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi's short story "Gandasa" which described the culture of Gujranwala rural areas.
The film is an unofficial sequel to the 1975's Wehshi Jatt. Wehshi Jatt was inspired by an Urdu play Gandasa written by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi which depicts a bloody feud in Gujranwala against the backdrop of rural Punjab.
Following the settlement of Maula's family feud in Wehshi Jatt, Maula has renounced violence and is in charge of administering the peace of his village and its surrounding villages.
The film begins with Makha Natt chasing a girl through villages. She asks for help but as soon as people hear that she is being pursued by Makha, the brother of Noori Natt they ask her to leave and not share her misfortune with them.
She arrives in Maula's village and is sheltered by Maula's sister- in-law Taani. Maula Jatt arrives and decrees that if Makha wants to avoid the fate of being killed by his 'Gandasa' he should marry the very girl he has dishonoured and marry his sister off to the girl's brother. The girl has no family so Maula orders Makha to marry his sister to his friend Moodha.
