Sajal Aly expressed her elation over release of Saim Sadiq’s movie Joyland after receiving clearance by censor board. Prime Minister’s formed Cabinet committee reviewed movie after it was banned by board over “highly objectionable content”. Following assessment, board permitted Joyland’s release in cinemas all across Pakistan after deleting some parts from movie.

As soon as decision came out, Aly took to Instagram story and re-shared a movie’s cover posted by Sadiq, revealing her desire to bring Oscars “home”. “Congratulations to whole team,” she wrote. Mom star remarked, “Let’s bring Oscar home!” For unversed, movie made its debut at 2022 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and earned Jury prize.

Later, movie was also premiered at Toronto Film Festival and American Film Institute Festival. It is pertinent to mention that this movie is reportedly Pakistan’s first entry to Oscars next year.
