Bollywood actor Naseer-ud-Din Shah starrer ‘Khuda Kay Liye” opened to packed houses in cinema halls across Lahore on Friday.
According to the Daily Times, the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Cinema was completely booked in advance.
Movie buffs said the film depicted Islam in a soft, lenient manner, and was a great entertainment package for the entire family.
Omar and Shahrukh said the movie had a brilliant script, unlike the usual Pakistani dramatised dialogues.
Maryam said the movie had been released at an appropriate time, as society is in need of moderate religious ideas.
On Thursday, the screening of the movie was challenged in the Lahore High Court over allegations that it was promoting anti-Islamic values.
The film, starring Shah, Shaan, Iman Ali and Fawad Khan, is a Geo Films’ project, and aimed at reviving Pakistan’s ailing film industry.
The film is about two brothers who are pop musicians in Lahore, one of whom gets radicalised under the influence of extremists, while the other goes to America and gets unlawfully detained after 9/11. It is the story of Mary (Maryam), a British girl of Pakistani origin, who is brought to Pakistan by her father and married off against her will.
