It was the first Pakistani film to be given the "only for adults" rating by the censors. The film, when seen from today's standards, would seem quite "clean" to most audiences. But at the time, wearing body-baring dresses was taboo in Pakistan.[3]

Actress Nasira, the famous Pakistani actress, wore dresses that exposed more than what was permissible at that time.

gollark: Can we go for "v1"/"original MemeEconomy"/"season 1" for the old version which was upvote-based, and "v2 alpha"/"season 2 alpha" for the current horrible mess?
gollark: I'd say it's more of an alpha.
gollark: Probably.
