The Legend of Maula Jatt (2022) is a Pakistani Punjabi-language action drama directed by Bilal Lashari. Serving as a reimagining of the 1979 cult classic Maula Jatt, the film stars Fawad Khan as the titular character, with Hamza Ali Abbasi portraying his formidable adversary, Noori Natt. The narrative delves into themes of vengeance, honor, and the enduring struggle between good and evil.
The story begins with a brutal assault by the Natt clan, led by Jeeva Natt, on the haveli of Sardar Jatt. Sardar and his wife are slain, but their young son, Maula, survives and is raised by a woman named Daani. As Maula grows, he becomes a renowned wrestler, haunted by fragmented memories of his traumatic past.
Maula's life takes a pivotal turn when he learns of his true heritage and the identity of his parents' murderers. Armed with his father's gandasa (a traditional weapon), Maula confronts the oppressive Natt clan, igniting a series of events that lead to intense confrontations, personal losses, and a climactic battle against Noori Natt, the most feared warrior in Punjab.
