KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) Tuesday declared ban on Urdu feature film ‘Maalik’ null and void. The movie is likely to be released soon across Pakistan, Samaa reported.

Director Asher Azeem’s ‘Maalik’ was banned in April this year by the federal Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage declaring the movie ‘anti-Pakistan’.

Azeem, a prominent director, writer and actor, had challenged the ban in Sindh High Court, stating that film was made with cooperation of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) and does not contain anything that goes against public interest.

The ban, imposed three weeks after the movie’s nationwide release, stirred debate on freedom of expression on the social media and drew condemnation from various opposition party leaders.

Issuing its ruling on the director’s petition, the Sindh High Court declared the government’s ban as null and void, allowing Asher Azeem to release his film countrywide.

Speaking to Samaa, Azeem, who was very happy with the decision, said he would hold an urgent meeting with the film distributors to discuss the screening as soon as possible. – Samaa

This is good news. Also after that ban and all, once the movie gets cleared for screening it will gather much more public interest as well. Curiosity!!

I think it will hit that 10 crore mark and go beyond once screening in Pakistan starts.

Actually the federal govt had bigger issue with this movie than Sindh govt the Sindh govt was ok with screening after editing of a few scenes but federal govt got offended by portraying of politicians as corrupt

You couldnt have picked a better date to slap baboon league than 6 September

@Thəorətic Muslim this is one example of how things are gradually changing in Pakistan. The freedom our politicians enjoyed to keep things in dark and to silence people are being challenged. They won't be able to keep people watch and listen which they like only.

Naah, Maalik have got that advantage of being the movie that was "banned" Curiosity is the best advertisement and promotion!! However i am not sure if it will be screening this Eid. There would be many hurdles still.
