Why PM giving go ahead.. Thought this was a self imposed ban by the theatre operators?

because this incompetent PM has nothing better to do, hard to understand why hes even getting involved in this, some other chamcha would have been enough.

Indeed that was Pakistan's biggest problem, PM has to sign himself. Watch Pakistanis bollywood movies, but just close your eyes when you see young Kashmiri blind girls and boys.

Are Pakistani movies also being released in India? if not then we should not allow Indian movies either..

First of all... India has not banned Pakistan movies.. but no distributor buys Pakistani movies at the moment . reason is simple .profitability . which sane distributor will buy and release a Pakistani movie when he can make double his profit by releasing indian movie ?. its all business my dear.... even Hollywood movies don't compete with Bollywood movies in India . . Distributors share of Dangal was huge around 1.84 billion INR. . even small budget hit movies will earn around 200 to 300 million INR profit to distributors.

Even south Indian movies gets an opening day collection of INR200 million . so until Pakistan produces quality movies and in a position to give a competition to Indian movies , very less chances of getting release in India.. but like movie BOL.. it can be released in some selected cinemas when there is no parallel release... but i see that possibility only when relations improve.

Pakistan's decision to ban and reverse the ban was its own step to save its Industry. contrary to some of your experts claims ,Indian movies are not depend on Pakistan to make money..............Don't forget Danagl was not released in pakistan and still it went on to make INR7.4 billion worldwide and still counting.

I sincerely hope , one day when relations improve ,we will see Pakistani quality movies in India.
