Miscellaneous Information – Released way back in 1960, Street No. 77 was perhaps Pakistan’s first experiment with the science fiction genre. Taking inspiration from the American hit, The Invisible Man (1933), Street No. 77 had a superior technical work. The villain in this film was a scientist, who disappears after drinking a special potion, and only his cigar travels in the air to give the hero, Habib, a private investigator in the film, some idea where the villain is traveling. The film had technical jugglery, which later inspired two more horror flicks made in Pakistan – Deewana (The Madman, 1964) and Zinda Laash (The Living Corpse, 1967).
