In 2015, only five Punjabi films were made in Lollywood. Punjabi films continued to languish in this year also. Punjabi releases such as Razia Phas Gayi Gundon Main, Shaan's Lahoria tay Pishoria, Gujjar Pooray Dinna Da, Sohna Gujjar and Sami Rawal all failed to make a mark on the box office in Pakistan.[9]
