Reaction
The film's plot dealt with the issue of marital rape and a few shots detailing the ordeal the lead character goes through stirred much controversy when Inteha was released during the first half of 1999. As a result, the movie was banned for a few days but was re-released after Peerzada managed to get a stay order from the court. It was a sensational success at the major urban centers in Pakistan and had a record run at Karachi's Nishat theater. The cast was quite huge and contained experienced actors and the crew.

Famous quotes containing the word reaction:
“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
