not sure if this has been posted b4, but here it is anyways: _____________________________________________________
LAHORE: Pakistani cinema owners and managers are in favour of running Indian films because of dwindling audiences for Pakistani movies.
Pakistani films have flopped at the box office this year. Not one of the five films released on Eidul Azha managed a full house. Four films opened on Eidul Fitr, of which two managed one or two full shows but then struggled.
“It is a matter of survival,” Pakistan Cinema Management Association Chairman Qaiser Khan said, describing the Pakistani film industry as “clinically dead”. “Only a miracle can save it,” he added.
........'He said as soon as a film is released in India, its CDs and videotapes are available in Pakistani markets. Mr Rehman demanded the government either purge the market of Indian films or let Pakistani viewers watch them on the big screen.
“Showing Indian films will also encourage our producers to make better films and invest more money. Our Punjabi films can do good business in East Punjab,” said Mr Arif Khan.
“We could also have an agreement with India. We will give our films and they will give their films. Our Urdu films must really improve to have a market in India,” he said.
“We make a Punjabi film with only six million rupees. An Indian film is made for at least Rs 250 to 500 million. If we invest Rs 100 million in a Punjabi film, we would have a big market in the Indian Punjab. Our film producers, actors, directors and the other crew will make more money. Pakistani cinemas will get more business by showing Indian movies and Indians will have four more provinces as a market,” he said.
He said the Indian films could be censored for Pakistani viewers.'

yeah..right!all here know about bollywood standard...and budget also...
bollywood movies shod not release,becoz their budget is so high..
yeah..we only need bollywood technical facility such as soundtrack studio..Dance director... which already done some makers...people hate anti-islam and anti-pakistan propaganda..
and pakistan and indian situation didn't change still..may be kashmir problem solve...this can be happend.

very tru ffm. competition is always healthy!
and i would like 2 make another point:
99% of our actors and actresses are big fish in a small pond (lollywood). if they can make it in bollywood tho, and compete head 2 head with the likes of srk, salman khan, ashwariya, madhuri ect. it would truly be a significant accomplishment, don't u guys think???!!
i don't want 2 offend the HURDS of zara sheikh fans on this board, but i mean....look at how we have zara on this pedistle. its very easy 2 do so, cause her competition in lollywood is virtually non-existant. but put her in bollywood with the likes of ash, and madhuri...and then we can OFFICALLY seperate the real talent from the phonies. so the merging of lolly and bolly means more than just good movies...it means we the fans get 2 see who REALLY has the talent 2 survive!!!
btw.....i only used zara as an example. so b4 half of u spaz out....READ PROPERLY B4 U COMPLAIN.....!!

I THINK THERE MUST BE A WAY TO 'PUNISH' OUR PRODUCERS FOR NOT MAKING GOOD MOVIEZ, AND BY NEGLECTING THEIR MOVIEZ AND WATCH BOLLYWOOD MOVIEZ INSTEAD, WILL GIVE THEM A PUSH TO MAKE QUALITY MOVIEZ...

Look paki lion is right no matter what we must support our industry . we also should be proud of it !! i am against indian movies shown in pak . If u let them watch there movies whos going to watch us ????????
Theres a big differnance between our films and there films and everyone knows that !! Also indians cant speak punjabi .
Why are our actores and actress going across the border becouse of money not for our country !! like meera

NFAKFAN IT DOES MATTER IF LOLLYWOOD DOES NOT EXIST BECOUSE LOLLYWOOD MAKES PAK MOVIES AND AM PROUD OF IT !!! PAKISTAN ZINDABAd

i guess u have somewhat of a point, but for me, allowing indian movies 2 be shown in pakistan will force our people 2 make better movies. no competition means the producers/directors have a monoploy over us, and they'll continue 2 make average movies. and even tho u and i enjoy these movies, most in pk don't, 4 whatever reason!

The true reason Pak films have no substance or popular support is fear..... lollywood fears censors and the arts sports council, so they make weak meaningless films. hate and fear are great destroyers of creativity. hate and fear in the name of god will ruin us all in the end.
viwers has also known this.
