Texan Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Quote ISLAMABAD: Four months after Pakistan blocked Hindi films in its cinemas in a tit-for-tat after Bollywood banned Pakistani artists following the attack on the Army post in Uri, the government in Islamabad moved to allow their screening with PM Nawaz Sharif announcing a committee to look into demands of local theatre owners who are bleeding financially .

Trichromatic Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Sensible decision considering the market of Indian cinema there.
Muloghonto Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Economically, Pakistan is the Canada to India being the USA. Only difference is, Canadians are not dumb enough to stick the middle finger to Americans on major issues, Pakistan on the other hand, are dumb enough to permanently give India the middle finger on everything, which leads to more sadness for the Pakistanis. 'Tit for tat' never works in an unequal relationship. And India is the superior partner to Pakistan in any relationship we have. sandeep, Texan and narenpande1 3
randomGuy Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I am surprised that they pay any money to Indian movie makers considering the kind of bhikhari and shameless country that they are.... I mean they can easily run stolen prints of Indian movies in their theatres and who will be able stop that from Indian side? narenpande1 and Sajid_Rana 1 1

Even if they run stolen prints in the theatres (which plenty probably do), doesn't mean they are going to show it to their public for free. So when there is a ban on Indian movies, they don't get to play their stolen reels either & with nobody watching crappy Pakistani movies, the movie theatres lose money. Vilander 1

Of course when they run stolen prints, they will charge money which will go to theatre owners .

USA is not illegally occupying Canadian land unlike India.

Actually it is you who is illegally occupying our land. I honestly don't understand how educated pakistanis can't accept this simple fact. But then again, in a nation where not believing in the most popular imaginary friend in the sky can get you legally killed, i can understand why more serious issues are subject to idiotic propaganda.

First clarify your identity as a nation. Are you a South Asian Muslim nation ? Or are you a wannabe central Asian/Middle East country.
veer Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 On a different topic.. Just found out that AMC theaters, in USA, are owned by a Chinese company. Hugely disappointed.. China is coming to get all of you...be it USA, India or pak... They are owning half the world it looks.
