Storyline

Paagan is the regular fare of a small town guy wanting to make it big. Even though director Aslam peppers the script with comedy and suchlike the movie fails to impress. The movie released over the weekend to less than average houses. The going is not likely to get good given the bevy of releases every weekend from now.

A small-town dreamer's big, bumpy ride to success.
