Khuda Kay Liye (Urdu: خُدا کے لیئے, literal translation: For God's Sake, English title: In The Name Of God) is a 2007 Pakistani Urdu-language drama film written, directed and produced by Shoaib Mansoor, starring Shaan, Iman Ali, Fawad Afzal Khan and Hameed Sheikh. Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah appears in the uncut version. It was the highest-grossing Pakistani film of 2007. Much of Khuda Kay Liye was shot on location in Chicago, Illinois in the United States, and Lahore and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Produced by Geo TV, Khuda Kay Liye was theatrically released in Pakistan on July 20, 2007. Critical response was generally positive, though some religious "conservatives" criticized the film and called for a ban in Pakistan. Overall, there was curiosity around the film due to the presence of big names.[original research?] It resulted in a grand opening, and the film turned out to be a commercial as well as a critical success in Pakistan and India. Khuda Kay Liye was distributed in India by Percept Picture Company and released on over 100 screens across 20 cities.
