Saudi Terrorists should be banned from entering India
So far, Al-Qaida and their affiliates had shown no interests in attacking India.

For totally un-related and unaccountable reasons, I saw this pic
and drifted off to 70-80's Bollywood. Internet logic at work. Bollywood star galaxy came to mind. Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh, Yusuf Dilip Kumar Khan, Raj Kapoor from a gen. ago too.
Long story short, SRK has delivered about a dozen ... hold on ... $ Billion hits. 1 man industry! Dozen more stars, and they keep making them. Bollywood mega- Factory churns out 1 man industries. like SRK worth Pak. Rs. 1020 Cr.'s; as I keep saying, a $ goes some 10-25 times far in India, even farther in Pakistan. Just 1 SRK is
Amir, Salman, Akshay, Shahid Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Karishma, Abhishek, and others consistently deliver $ mega million, even $ Billion Bollywood hits. Then the endorsements, ads, appearances.
- Rs. 10 x 1020 to 25 x 1020 = Rs. 10200 to 25500 Cr.'s
min.
Conclusion:
After Bombay High, Bollywood, Beaches and Bi*ches, Mumbai gets another slick item:
- Indians should thank Pakistan for 'exporting' artistic talent.
Indians should be grateful for the $ mega Lahori talent infusion.
The Bollywood star galaxy of today is all grown up and something else.
When people compare business they completely forget factors that has changed. Rupee devaluation, inflation, multiplexs, affordability of common Man. 200 crorer in 2004 is not same in 2014.

Point being?
I was talking Bollywood economy of perhaps $ Trillion in PPP terms of course.
From Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor times, Bombay enabled this industry to boom beyond belief. Organically, naturally. The state kept an arm's length thankfully.
But Pakistani and specially Lahore and Karachi contribution never comes up.
Seen another way, Pakistani state's discouragement meant even nascent competition from Lahore & Karachi got squelched. Pakistan could have easily garnered 1/2 of Bollywood. $ 500-750 Billion, even $ Trillion in Pakistani PPP.
The talent was there, but the target market was the same. N. India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Africa, the Arab St., the Commie block and E. Asia.
A Yousuf Khan( Dilip Kumar), Raj Kapoor, Parikshit Sawhney, Mithun Charaborty, Amitabh Bachan or SRK blockbuster from Lahore or Karachi would be acceptable as one from Bombay.
