The Film Industry Committee held a meeting Wednesday at the Al Hamra Arts Council, once more with the agenda of flaying the screening of Indian films in Pakistani cinemas. Although Pakistani films recently released at Eid did not make waves at the box office, while the public still flocks to buy tickets for new Bollywood and Hollywood blockbusters, members of the film industry have continually condemned the trend of screening Bollywood films in particular. “We are going to file a petition in the court against these screenings that are going against our own film industry,” said Syed Noor, who is a prominent face of this movement, along with Sangeeta, Reema and Shaan. “Since the 1965 war, we have not allowed India even to set foot in our country, and the Indian films that are coming in are only a result of underhanded deals.
Pakistan, and its film industry has no space for Bollywood,” said Noor in blatant words. He added that from now on Lollywood will be producing and directing good, and well produced films, and cinema houses must screen them. Meanwhile Atiqa Odho who was also present said that she was surprised to see the level of unity in Lollywood and this issue should certainly be rewarded by banning Indian films. “I think Lollywood must get together and form a policy which I myself will forward to have it approved,” said Odho, who belongs to the All Pakistan Muslim League led by Pervez Musharraf.
I second this.
I dont this is the only way we can improve our product . Indian movies were not here in cinemas the quality of our movies other than very few was not even worthy of being rated. Market should be remained open for everyone we need to improve our own movies we have example that we can make good movies
should be ban such as Pakistani channals are ban in India.
First you should make good movies and why you guys don’t think for the cinema’s business in Pakistan. Why cinema holders put indian movies because just because of you Pakistan film industry there business is totally destroyed. Now they are earning some money paid tax to govt you guys become jealous. If you have really guts so make good movies like Khuda kay liye, bol etc
basically you guys don’t know your own talent that’s why every talented guy go to india because they know the worth of your talent
if you have guts so find good talent introduce in market.
Always Don’t cry like a baby. mama mama meri tafi cheen li india nay
