Kashmakash (Urdu: کشھمکش, literal English translation: "dilemma") is the first compilation album and third overall album of the Pakistani rock band, Junoon. It is said to be the first compilation album by a pop band in Pakistan.[1] Junoon were courted for the controversy of video for "Ehtesaab", which included footage of a polo pony eating in a posh restaurant. Many thought the image was an indictment of the corrupt Pakistani political elite, and especially of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. The government quickly banned the song and video from state television.
