    Atomic Beauty Print

    In the early 2000s, bootleg posters with bikini-clad models from Europe and America were a common sight on Lahore's city walls. The posters advertised screenings of chopped-up porno clips called "totay". The Urdu title "Haseena Atom Bomb" (Atomic Beauty) is loaned directly from a 1990 cult Pashto film of the same name and is used here with a Barbed Wire-esque image to lure hard-working men and boys to swarm the theaters at Lahore's Lakshmi Chowk.
