Mubasher Lucman, a filmmaker who comprises the Pakistani delegation participating in FICCI's Frames 2004, raised a very pertinent issue. Lucman wonders why should he be charged for copying Bollywood films. He claims that 'Chalte Chalte' was a direct lift of 'Aaina' (Pakistani film) though it was a recreation of 'Aandhi'. In fact, he added that the film industries in both countries copy each other. There is a slight difference inasmuch as Indian re-productions are more glossy, he adds.
Lollywood (Pakistani film industry at Lahore) has witnessed a huge decline in revenues in the last three years as has happened in Mumbai. The number of releases has come down to 35 a year from 60 in 1985-86, as in Bollywood. Families in Pakistan too miss theatres to watch films. They prefer pirated versions of Bollywood films or soaps on cable TV, according to Shahbaz Ali, producer of 'Choodiyan'.
The delegation urged the film industry in India to help Pakistan curb the pirated films reaching there from India and also explore the possibilities of collaboration in producing films. Thus both countries would benefit. The Pak delegation met several stars who have been producing films in cooperation with Lollywood. These included Dharmendra, his son-Sunny, Yash Chopra and Mahesh Bhatt. Both the countries have nothing to lose, but gain only, the Pak team believed.

Who cares about copying? Lollywood sucks big time...that's why our artist are fleeing to India.
Bollywood creates amazing original movies...K3g, Kuch kuch hota hain, kal ho na ho, HAHK, DDLg, Rangeela, Raja Hindustani....the list continues to the 1000....
You are pretending as if all the movies made in Bollywood are copied from our pathetic industry where people are jahils and gavars producers. Kuch kam ke nahi saale.. fact of the matter is no one watches lollywood movies.... i hv been to India and there people don't even know that pakistan makes movies or there is something called lollywood...they dont know who shaan and ghaan are....don't know about mira badhai...
Now there is Lakshya coming up, Deewar coming up, Yash Chopra's film coming...tel me has lollywood ever produced such gr8 movies...
its useless to fight, coz we all in pakistan watch bollywood movies at the end of the day. Whether u accept it or not is ur problem. but be realistic...U Moron..

Why speaking the truth makes me less pakistani than you. Get a life...u moron...
Keeo your stupid dreams with you. Salakhain's story was ghatiya nusi copy of India movies which we have seen 10000000000000000000000 times. And Pehla Peha pyaar...look at the title it itself is copy of HAHK song.. u moron...
Fact of the matter is Karachi people are more professional and capable of making movies than lahoris that why our stupid film industry called lollywood... (if bollywood copies the name from hollywood, that does not mean we should copy a name from bollywood which itself is copied)....
Our stupid film industry sucks big time and thats why it has never been successful. And u better go to watch the stupid salakhain movie...it shows of ur third class taste... maybe people like u are the reason for our film industry's failure...you appreciate the gutter level movies that lollywood produces and lollywood is on the verge of collapse just like ur retarded brain...

salakhains story will be in every movie after the film releases and becomes a super hit. so do you want me to name you a hundred pakistani songs which bollywood movies have copied for film titles.............tere maa moron...........
Fact of the matter is Karachi people are more professional and capable of making movies than lahoris that why our stupid film industry called lollywood... (if bollywood copies the name from hollywood, that does not mean we should copy a name from bollywood which itself is copied)....
lollywood being in lahore does not stop karachi people from woking in it. any one from any city of the world is welcome, lollywood is just a name.
hollywood is in hollywood in california, but every film is made in new york or florida, and all the studios are out of hollywood and the biggest studio in the world is in florida.
look at any film industry, they have people from every city. look at the british film industry, films are made in london, birmingaham, manchester etc.
same with pakistan, films are made in lahore, isloo, karachi. ydakh was made in karachi.
now go and take a look at your stupid industry, its been rejected by 80% of indias population.
here are 10 reasons why not to watch india films, by an indian, i found it on a bollywood forum. its by an indian not me.
1. bollywood movies r PIRATED and almost all of them do not have original scripts. they take the scripts from hollywood/ old bollywood movies/ south indian movies. 2. bollywood name in itself is pirated and has been taken from hollywood. 3. bollywood film makers do not even know the value of their great country. instead of shooting bollywood films in their great country, they shoot them in @!#$ countries abroad. 4. bollywood filmstars take money in crores from a film despite knowing the fact that they have to die someday and will not be able to spend these crores. also they have a high danger of income tax raids. taking money in lakhs will be better. 5. lots of bollywood movies r FLOPS. 6. if the money spent on making these @!#$ bollywood movies (rs. 150 crores per year) were spent on developing the country, v would have been a superpower. 7. bollywood superstars do not even know their natural beauty and post @!#$ make-ups to look bad. 8. just like movies, some bollywood film names r pirated as well and have been taken from some song of an older bollywood film. 9. most of the bollywood film stars, producers and directors have been involved in criminal cases on them and have underworld links.
