The movie was Samina Peerzada's debut directorial attempt and established the careers of its two leading men Humayun Saeed and Zeeshan Sikander.
Inteha is the story of Sara (Meera), a young woman from a well-off background, studying at a liberal arts college.
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 successful movie at the major urban centers in Pakistan and had a good run at Karachi's Nishat theater.
