Joyland Censorship
On November 18, 2022, Joyland was supposed to be released in Pakistan. The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting in Pakistan was reported to have prohibited the film's domestic release in November, citing Pakistan's Motion Picture Ordinance of 1979 and written complaints about the film, even though the censor board had granted the film a censor certificate in August. Furthermore, the political group Jamaat-e-Islami's Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan charged that the movie went "against Pakistani values," saying that it "directly attacks our beliefs by glamorizing transgender people in Pakistan and their romantic relationships."
A representative for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's office revealed to the Associated Press on November 16, 2022, that a panel established to review the movie authorized its release with some modifications. On November 18, as scheduled, the movie debuted in Pakistan, albeit with several "objectionable erotic" scenes removed from the running order.
Joyland is still prohibited in the province of Punjab.
