Such a nice piece of work with some magic realism and a brave and curios lead character- no one should miss the movie, neither the talk afterwards. Thank you very much!❤️

26 million Pakistani children don’t go to school and instead of welcoming the important debate on the urgent need for educational reforms, Ghost School is banned in Sindh - that’s where my film is set and where there are unfortunately around 15,000 ghost schools!

Update: As of July 2026 Ghost School is banned in Sindh. We have appealed to the Sindh board to reconsider their decision, which we deem counterproductive to not just access to education but also to the fragile state of Pakistani cinema. Talking about the need for functioning schools should be encouraged as it's our collective duty to safeguard the literacy of future generations of Pakistan. 🇵🇰

I had the privilege to watch this movie. It was amazing work with a great message! I hope to see more movies like @Ghostschool to raise awareness about the passion for education. @kehaannaqvi, your dialogue delivery was so natural; keep up the good work, man! @seemab_gulll
