Good News For Bollywood Fans in Pakistan! Restriction on Bollywood films revised

[Hamza913]

Yeah, I would give local languages preference but if I had to choose a foreign language it would be Farsi. Though it's not exactly "foreign" considering it's historical presence in the Subcontinent up until recently.

The way I see it, we should choose Baluchi or alter Urdu.

We could get the other provinces to agree if we spread enough propaganda about Baluchistan being the mother of Pakistan or something like that (it's not even far from the truth, the Baloch gene component is the highest component among Pakistanis, and the first civilisation in this region started in Baluchistan).

Hey buddy how are you ?don't see you around much
On topic - there's no point in telling this to haters they will deny any fact
Truth is Bollywood movies have a huge presence in Pakistan


That's a funny thing to say given the popularity of Bollywood movies
Yes they copy Hollywood and even copy south bit the point is that highest grossing movies in Pakistan are from bollywood itself


Your government earns quite a lot from imposing tax on Indian movies ,they have done themselves a favour
And who watches dramas these days??

they dont! thats one of the worries.

 

[Karna_007]

Thanks Vishal Mishra for your wonderful music(Veere)

[Panzerfaust 3]

Subcontinent ladies:

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

Hate these topics

either ban it completely or allow it

why they temporary ban it and then release the ban after few months to make joke of themselves

and bollywood earning money in Pakistan still dont mean that they are of good quality . People has to watch stuff in language they understand even if its rubbish and Pakistan can only compete with Bollywood if provide same mujra/item songs ... singing, dancing and acing and modeling is known as noble profession in India while its opposite in Pakistan. If you do see the fan following of these actors and singers in India then plenty of people waste so much times outside the residence of these celebrity just to get their one look..such madness dont exist in Pakistan

 

[MultaniGuy]

No body likes Bollywood Crap here in Pakistan. All they can do is Copy Hollywood.

Exactly most Pakistanis call Bollywood crap.

Most people in Pakistan and Pakistani expatriates hate bollywood.

Good move to ban bollywood crap.

Rather our film industry is playing catch-up with Bollywood in the incorporation of and propagation of obscenity.

It's usually like this: Latest anticipated Bollywood release includes girls with half their breasts showing + some sex scenes.

Pakistani film industry response: release film with girls showing their legs, male and female lead actors kissing.

In other words we're just playing catch-up with them. We're just one level behind.

If we are truly different from them and we as a nation want to live up to the spirit of partition then we must do opposite of what they are doing instead of emulating their socially destructive culture, even going so far as changing our national language to Farsi if we must so as to negate Indian cultural influence.

Most bollywwood/lollywood movies are garbage.
IDK why people watch them. Language can be understood that's why may be.
Movies with loads of songs dances and item numbers, funny.

People should learn from Iranian movies. Decent films without sex/kissing and female characters who are dressed modestly... sex and vulgarity isn't a prerequisite for a successful movie.

That's because it is easier to tap into people's debased and carnal desires, which is what Hollywood, Bollywood and other similar industries do. When it comes to marketing the most socially destructive things like cigarettes, fast foods, alcohol, pornography (which includes basically all showbiz, movies, Tv shows), etc. it is easier to convince the mass of people to fall for this because human nature seeks instant gratification but obtaining it on a constant basis and in ever increasing amounts it not healthy neither on the individual level nor on the societal level.

Just because the great majority of people prefer a thing doesn't make it a good thing.

True. Iranian films tend to have a good message to them too and are meaningful. One can walk away gaining some new knowledge of life or generic wisdom. This is how films should be, beneficial spiritually.

Media and other modern institutions should be regulated by a strong moral state. Unabated they spread socially destructive tendencies.

Honestly I stay away from hollywood, bollywood and all that crap circle jerking the same ole same ole. Its too filthy and degenerate...either overtly or subliminally.

What will rise to the top on actual merit, I am patient for...no need to watch the 99% crap to seek out the 1% quality right away....when time will do that for me much better and efficiently.

Of course countries that are more removed from this degeneracy will do somewhat better job overall too...they harness themes that do not sell to the opium dens of wasting away addicts that have long forgotten or never knew such.

I think regulating the media itself is too late an intervention (in the chain) tbh....because the demand is already organically created for the vice/filth from much earlier....and it becomes slippery slope/diminishing returns/brittle etc over time. The intervention of society must be as early as possible, in the education and upbringing of the society and becomes baked in to the potential elasticity within human society....so it naturally self-regulates to large degree....and any more is simply "topping up" of that larger phenomenon of prevention being better than cure etc.

The thing with a free market in the media is that the degenerate is the most abundant and "successful" precisely because it appeals to the base urges of humanity.

And because of this it causes severe damage to the social fabric, even if one or two good decent products might come out. This is why the media must be regulated at the least, if not directly controlled by the state. There should be certain parameters and boundaries within which creativity can be permitted, in accordance with the values of that society.

I believe this is true in the context of Western countries where all traditional structures have been long demolished and nothing remains of them, not even a trace.

But in eastern countries like Pakistan or India traditionalism is still there within the vast majority of the people whereas modernity is mostly confined to the elite or upper middle class. Now of course degeneracy is spreading everywhere via smartphones but nobody really considers this a good thing and I'm sure most people in their hearts oppose it because it is still not considered a norm within Eastern countries. Iran, for example, was able to reverse mondernity and "Westernization".

Yup totally agree....it definitely depends on how much the rot has sunk into the society for the type of (even theoretical) intervention most appropriate....it very much depends on how much the base has been eroded currently you are right.

That means bollywood is good? Nope.
People also prefer local mujras with milfs shaking their boobies over Iranian movies. Means that Pakistani mujras are better? Nope.
