The Pakistan Film Festival New York kicked off with a grand red carpet reception on Friday and followed it up with the screening of some Pakistan's most-loved movies, including Mehreen Jabbar's Dobara Phir Se and Nabeel Qureshi's Actor In Law.

Here are some sneak-peeks at Day 1:

It looked like Actor In Law was well-received. Director Nabeel Qureshi was in high spirits after the screening and got silly on stage with his friend, Mawra Hocane.

Both took to the streets after!

Nab Qur took a good old fashioned walk.

Mawra, on the other hand, practised her cab-hailing skills to get a taste of the NY experience.

Side note: Mawra's clutch was on-point! Here's a better look at it.

Looks like people had a questions from the Dobara Phir Se crew! The littlest cast member Musa had lots to say.

Then, the woman-of-the-moment Mehreen Jabbar took the mic.

Meanwhile, in the midst of orchestrating this two-day festival, Frieha Altaf found time for some self-admiration.
