Roohi
1954
Skip it. A decades-old Pakistani drama that got banned for class commentary sounds like it might have been provocative once, but without any critical consensus to guide you and only a 'moderate' box office showing, you're taking a real gamble on whether the controversy or the actual storytelling holds up. There are better ways to spend your night.
Plot
Roohi made history as the first movie to be banned by the Pakistan Film Censor Board for containing features that could expound socialist ideology. The government said the film generated 'class hatred ' and portrayed a rich married woman having an affair with a young, unmarried man; after the ban was lifted, the film received mixed reviews and was a moderate box office success.
