The film Joyland, directed by Saim Sadiq and starring Sania Saeed, Ali Junejo, Alina Khan, and Sarwat Gillani, was finally released in Pakistan on November 18 after suffering censorship hurdles.
Only in Sindh has the film been released, as it remains banned in Punjab. Saim is doing a great effort to have his Oscar-nominated picture released in the province.
