indian movies potrayal of Pakistanis

[Indus Pakistan]

Yes, there may be some who watch bollywood films, because they find it easier to relate to than hollywood films.

News. The largest export market for Bollywood is Pakistan and Pakistani's. In fact Bollywood has grown as big as it has thanks to Pakistani market. To not accept this is delusion. Check out any Pakistani newspapers like say Dawn and you will have regular features on Bolyywood moviews or gossip about Bolly celebs.

Yes I have seen Dawn news talk about Bollywood celebrities. I am not denying that.

Even Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan comes on Dawn news occasionally.

Well when you have a neighbour of 1.3 billion people they will have a massive amount of soft power.

No one watches them in my social circle, however thousands here in the UK do. I'm also pretty sure these videos we see on YouTube are not staged i.e. with Pakistanis in Pakistan pouring out of the cinemas praising Bollywood films. Reality is reality. I can put up the numbers of you like as well. Plenty of Pakistanis watch these films, like I said before our community here is not reflective of the population at large. I can point you to another forum, non-military, virtually all Pakistanis and they have threads going into the dozens of how great a certain Bollywood film was.

No there is denying that there is a class who watches Indian movies...definitely their movies are screened in Pakistani cinemas because there is an audience for that... But it is not as much as they try to portray bro

This video portrays our culture better than the whole stupid media

And in UK in the by gone age of videos for hire every Pakistani neighbourhood had video shops. Walk in there and wall to wall you would see Bolly movies and you would struggle to see a Pakistani movie. If you asked the owner for Pakistani movie he would give you this dumbfounded look "Pakistani move wtf ?!!?"

Those might have been made before BJP or by the producers who are not pro-hindutva.

Producers are only pro money. They will sell whatever sells. Most guys in the industry would not be able to name the President of India.

Because it is all about reputation. We don't have that reputation. lol.

Bollywood/Hindi cinema has a reputation.

Reputations are made and not hatched in the sky. We made our reputation in front of the world and India made hers. And here we are today.

Surprised an Indian would call Bollywood shit? Usually Indians take great pride in Bollywood.

The film 'Arrival' which was pretty big portrayed Pakistanis in a fantastic manner i.e. scientists trying to communicate with aliens.
I'm yet to see a positive portrayal by Bollywood.

True, but that's far and few between isn't it?
Hollywood's track record on portrayals of minority stereotypes is about as clean as Belgium's human rights record in Congo, even when it comes to Indians. Certainly more so than bollywood's portrayal of Pakistan if you ask me. We atleast have uncomfortable history between us as a poorly serviceable excuse.
Pakistan's 'brand' in hollywood serves as the setting for defacto terrorist state for Iron man's like to save people from.

 

[ashok mourya]

Not every movie shows Pakistan in bad light....watch veer zaara..which shows some Pakistani as good people...

True. Indian portrayal of Pakistan is entirely expected. You can't imagine how India would be portrayed if I was placed as director of a movie.

Fatima Bhutto, the novelist and the granddaughter of Zulkifar Ali Bhutto has slammed Hollywood for their hypocrisy and biases towards Muslims and in particular towards Arabs and Pakistanis. She has asked Hollywood to apologize to Pakistanis and Muslims for their portrayal of terrorists and militants in several movies and serials.

In her tweet, she mentioned the names of several series like ‘Homeland ‘, 24, Tyrant, Rambo, Zero Dark Thirty, American Sniper and Baywatch which has unapologetically featured Arabs and Pakistani as terrorists.

Ms. Bhutto hopes after apologizing to Hindus and Indians for the recent portrayal of them as terrorists in infamous spy thriller series Quantico, Hollywood will apologize to Muslims as well.

The latest episode of popular series Quantico has enraged Hindus and Indians as it featured Hindu nationalists framing Pakistani in a terror plot.

Fatima Bhutto stressed that the masterminds behind those plots should also come forward and admit their wrongdoings. She added that people might have to ‘wait for a few more’ for that to happen. Bhutto referred to the previous speech she delivered on the issue.

In the speech, she remarked that “Cinema smoothes the ground for us to accept a lot of unacceptable things. It has the power to also smooth down our resistance to things like torture, like war and many other atrocities. It’s not innocent, it normalizes a lot of things that it really shouldn’t.”

The famous Hollywood series, ‘Homeland’ stirred a widespread debate in the world as numerous scholars and Muslim intellectuals came forward and pointed how the American series was systematically stereotyping Muslims and painting them terrorists in the series.

Similarly, the movie American Sniper, set in the times of Iraq’s invasion by the US in 2003, showed the people of Iraq as terrorists, and hence, it justified the attack and resultant massive killings of Iraqis.
