Court stops film Majajan’s exhibition
Staff Report
LAHORE: A civil court on Wednesday stopped the exhibition of Punjabi feature film Majajan at Metropole Cinema on March 24 and ordered Paragon Entertainment Chairman Syed Noor and the cinema administration to appear in court on April 7.
The judge ordered that the stay order be pasted at the gates of the cinema and the Paragon Entertainment office.
The Empire Cinema administration has challenged the exhibition of Majajan at the Metropole Cinema on the plea that it (Empire Cinema) had the rights to show the film in an agreement with the Paragon Entertainment company on May 27, 2005. Amir Lateef, counsel for Empire Cinema, said Paragon Entertainment dishonoured the agreement and gave the exhibition rights to Metropole Cinema.
In light of the written agreement with Empire Cinema, the court stopped the film exhibition by Metropole Cinema and summoned the respondents, who had earlier failed to comply with the court orders.

Well Majajan has been released all over Pakistan this Friday and surprise surprise the film has been declared a massive hit. It has opened to packed audiences and has gone "House Full" all over. People are buying tickets in the black to see Maajan. Well this is what two leading Urdu dailies have reported.
What is surprising is how can a film be declared a hit after one just day. Any how my best wishes to Saima and Co and I hope the film is a hit.
This is what was reported in the Daily Jinnah:

Taken from the Post:
Majajan has broken record for Lollywood, the set by Reema Khan's Koi Tuj Sa Kahan a year before. Majajan earned one lac 28 thousand rupees while its nearest competitor Koi Tuj Sa Kahan earned one lac 11 thousand rupees on the first day at cinemas. “Majajan has termed out to be oxygen for the Pakistani film industry,” said Syed Noor, director of Majajan.
The above does not make sense. Are the collections from just one Cinema or all the Cinemas from Lahore.
