The keyboard patriots in this forum are not cinema owners. Thus, they can afford to rant against Indian movies.

By the way, the people need something as entertainment. Shallow patriotism doesn't get in the way of ordinary people.

Then why they have banned Pak actors, movies, singers etc When even hijra like Karan says he will no longer work with our actors. Allow their movies only if they do the same. You can always watch pirated copy on internet.

Cinema owners deny lifting ban on Bollywood films
By Web Desk on October 26, 2016


Contrary to some reports, the ban on Bollywood films will not be lifted as of now, states Chairman of the Film Exhibitor Association Zoraiz Lashari.

Speaking to Images on the ban lift Lashari said, “I have never said any such thing, I am not holding any press conference.

“At the moment all we’re saying is that Fawad Khan is appearing in a Bollywood film [ADHM] and none of the scenes have been cut from his film, and we’re extremely happy – it’s a good gesture from the Indian side.”

He added that at the moment they’re still waiting to see how things turn out, however, there will be “no press conference about the ban being lifted, and we hope the media plays a positive role in making things normal.”

In regards to Fawad’s film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Lashari said, “There is a possibility [of it screening]since the government has issued ADHM andShivay the NoC.”

Nadeem Mandviwalla owner of Atrium cinema, Karachi and Centaurus cinema, Islamabad said he could not comment on the matter.

While Mohsin Yaseen of Cinepax said that such a decision has not yet come to his knowledge: “Officially there has been no announcement to us from the association but we will meet in a couple of days.”

As far as the screening of ADHM is concerned, he said the association will meet and decide in a few days. “We’re happy that ADHM is releasing in India with Fawad Khan in the film,” he said.

Khorem Gultasab of Supercinemas, like Mohsin Yaseen, denied news of the ban being lifted. “No, I have no idea. There’s no news about this. If any such decision does take place the Chairman of Film Exhibitor Association will release an official statement saying so,” he said.

Jamil Baig of Neuplex said that there has been no decision thus far. On the release of ADHM, he said, “We’ve heard it’s releasing in India but it hasn’t been decided whether it will be screened here.”

IMGC Media and Marketing Manager Sabina Islam told Images that the ban has been lifted but only on one Bollywood film. “So far, we’re waiting to find out which film the ban has been lifted for. Of course all films that are submitted will be played, but our agenda is to push the film in which Fawad Khan has been cast.”

“Till then we’re going to wait. However, it needs to be understood that things have escalated so much between both sides that we have to be very careful,” she added.

Although cinema owners have all denied the ban being lifted, they admitted that banning Bollywood films in Pakistan will only hurt them. “It will hurt them, it will hurt us. It will hurt legitimate business stake holders. The winner is the pirate,” Mandviwalla had said in an earlier interview.

Not sure if this is true... If true, then exhibitors do not need to bother with lifting or, extending the ban.

The ban should stay. Not because I hate India or Indians. But I don't want 180 million people to suffer from brain cancer by watching the crap Indians produce these days. We've got bigger issues than that.

We are permanent neighbor, It's our choice, we fight everyday or live with Peace.
I blame politicians on both sides, for not resolving issues through table talk. While, we have pro india Prime Minister which is perfect opportunity for dialogue and to all resolve issues. No wonder, we are asking for dialogue, dialogue everyday. This is best opportunity for India , instead of political scoring just for coming election, Let sit on table. And discuss all issues.
War only brings destruction, having both sides as nuclear armed, both countries have big responsibility for peace & for safety of civilians . Everyday border clashes, This madness need to end.
We should also avoid to support Kashmiris people, This is their fight, no need to poke nose there. Need to resolve Kashmir issues, let them leave as it is. Our pashtun brothers invaded there and we already got 1/3rd part of Land, While india got 2/3rd of land, that is reasonable according to population.
Forget political scoring, Settle the issue once for all.
Live with Peace
