Gandasa is a Pakistani film in Punjabi language, released on April 16, 1991 by screenwriter Saleem Murad. The film was directed by Hasan Askari and produced by Jahangir Khan.
A 'Gandasa' is a Punjabi implement primarily used in cultivation and farming. It consists of a long stick of wood (roughly the height of its user) with a wide blade attached to one end. It resembles a very large axe, although it is used in a different manner.
The use of the gandasa as a weapon was made famous by the Lollywood film Maula Jatt (1979) and its sequels, in which the implement was portrayed as an Excalibur-like weapon used in the Punjabi Pakistani action films for fighting and killing other people.
The music of Gandasa is composed by Saleem Murad with lyrics penned by Ahmad Rahi. The album earned
