IN LOVING MEMORY: Three years ago on today’s date, February 13th, Mr. Zia Mohyeddin passed away. He left behind an untouchable legacy of decades of service to South Asian art and culture, in Pakistan and internationally. Remembering him particularly, fondly and yearningly on this date, we wish to share with you an exclusive scene from ‘The Colour of My Heart’ ‘Rung Hai Dil Ka Mere’ where he is reciting Mr. Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s stunning poem ‘Zindaan Ki Aik Shaam’ still very relevant to our world today. THE COLOUR OF MY HEART is currently playing in select cinemas in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad this weekend. #ziamohyeddin #ziamohyeddinpoetry #thecolourofmyheart #runghaidilkamere #umarriazfoto #umarriazfilm #pakistanicinema #faizahmedfaiz #urdupoetry #urdu #pakistan

The final theatrical poster for ‘The Colour of My Heart’ ‘Rung Hai Dil Ka Mere’ RELEASING EXCLUSIVELY IN CINEMAS IN PAKISTAN 6th FEBRUARY 2026. The final poster was designed by Hafsa Khurram based on a photograph taken by the film’s director Umar Riaz. The kaleidoscopic effect was not achieved with digital effects but rather in-camera effects with a vintage kaleidoscopic lens (popular in the 1960s) directed at a canvas print of some of the film’s main characters Mr. Zia Mohyeddin, Dr. Arfa Sayeda Zehra, Mr. Faiz Ahmed Faiz and his daughters Ms. Moneeza and Salima Hashmi. The theatrical trailer for the film will be released February 1st 2026. #thecolourofmyheart #runghaidilkamere #asnapictures #ziamohyeddin #ziamohyeddin #ziamohyeddinpoetry #umarriazfoto #umarriazfilm #urdupoetry #urdushayari #urdughazal #pakistanicinema #pakistaniculture #pakistan
We have been deeply grateful for and overwhelmed by the positive responses to ‘The Colour of My Heart’ ‘Rung Hai Dil Ka Mere’ at the standalone Pakistani premieres of the film in Lahore and Karachi this month. Partly due to this, we have settled on a final date for our general theatrical release: 6th FEBRUARY 2026. We thank those awaiting the film for their patience; as we are relying on rather ‘old fashioned’ methods to promote the film such as word-of-mouth and grassroots marketing, this will allow us to reach a larger audience for the film to be experienced as it is ideally meant to be…in a cinema with a collection of people known and unknown. We hope you will take some time out of your Basant festivities and give our film a chance at the theaters . Thanking you kindly, Umar Riaz and the Asna Pictures Team. #thecolourofmyheart #ziamohyeddin #ziamohyeddinpoetry #umarriazfilm #pakistanicinema #pakistanidocumentary #faizahmedfaiz #asnapictures #pakistan
Asna Riaz, June 24th 1978 - January 6th 1998. Remembering my sister Asna today who not only fought a heroic battle against Cystic Fibrosis but whose wit and spark also often made us all split our sides with laughter and excitement. Our world and lives have been dimmer since she left but, as she would have wished, not irredeemable. ‘The work of the mature person is to hold grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them…’ - Francis Weller
Now fifteen years in the making, Umar Riaz’s ‘The Colour of My Heart’ ‘Rung Hai Dil Ka Mere’ will be released exclusively in cinemas nationwide in Pakistan on 6th FEBRUARY 2026 becoming the first Pakistani documentary to secure a wide theatrical release in the country.
