The High Court in Lahore has issued ban on an Indian film after a petitioner claimed it "propogates homosexuality."
Dostana, which is hyped as Bollywood's first gay-themed comedy, cannot be shown anywhere in Pakistan as a result of Friday's court ruling.
The judge ordered that a copy of the script be prepared for a later hearing and that the Pakistan Film Censor Board should block any screenings.
Dostana is similar in plot to last year's Hollywood effort I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
Two Indian men in Miami pretend to be a gay couple to rent an apartment, and later to gain an immigration permit.
The slapstick comedy of errors has a cameo from Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty.
There is no actual gay relationship, but the two male leads share a kiss and it is being hailed as a breakthrough in Indian cinema.
