The first Sindhi film produced was Ekta in 1940 directed by Homi Wadia and the last film was Himmath which was released on 1997;[3][4] while the first Sindhi film produced in Pakistan was Umar Marvi in 1956 directed by Shaikh Hassan.[5] The first blockbuster Sindhi film released was Abana released in 1958.[6] Sindhi cinema used to see three to four releases a year until the 1990s. The last Sindhi film released was Himmat in 1997. Satish Anand says that the condition of the theatres is bad, funding is difficult and people prefer mainstream cinema. Many producers have tried to revive the industry but eventually it fell apart. An alternate model of releasing films only on television and home video was attempted, but that too didn't work because of rampant piracy.[7][8] Since 2010, Cinema in Pakistan has seen a general revival of Sindhi films as well as Urdu and Pashto films.
