After screening at international film festivals such as 13th Tasveer South Asian Film Festival 2018 and the 2nd annual edition of Asia Peace Film Festival, Pakistani shorts Nanu Aur Main and Bas Ek Piyali Chai have been released on Iflix. Produced under the banner of Family Films, both shorts are available on the streaming site that can be accessed by anyone without any subscription fee.

Nanu Aur Main, directed by Ali Sohail Jaura, features Saboor Aly and veteran artist Qavi Khan - whom it also pays tribute to. It revolves around the relationship of the two, seen as grandfather and granddaughter, Erum, played by Saboor. Erum spends her life with her grandfather after her parents pass away. However, she goes away for studying abroad but returns once she learns that he isn’t doing well.

Bas Ek Piyali Chai on the other hand, follows the life of Ghulam Raees, essayed by Rashid Farooqi, as he reflects on his life and recalls the time when he used to work at a tea store, owned by Ahmedeen, played by Qazi Wajid (late).

The two films were also screened at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) in September 2018.
