Roohi
1954, Urdu. Directed by W. Z. Ahmad.
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.
