Insan Aur Gadha

A donkey desires to be a human, so he prays to God to fulfill his wish. But when his prayer is actually answered and he transforms into a man, he quickly finds that his life purpose and moral duties were more meaningful and easily identifiable when he was a donkey than when he is a human being. He eventually asks God to change him back into a donkey since he is so disappointed in humanity (or its lack thereof).[2]

Insan Aur Gadha was released on 31 August 1973.[3] Soon after its release at theaters, the Pakistan People Party's government banned the film due to a satirical speech by the donkey-turned-human character, delivered before a large gathering of donkeys. The political government of the time took the satire as an offense. According to the film expert Mushtaq Guzdar, the scene did not conceal the fact that it was parodying PM Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's distinctive brand of populist oratory.[2][4][5]

Though, a month later, the film was allowed to be screened again.[6]
