Sat, Aug 29 04:00 PM

Islamabad, August 29 (ANI): Cinemas across Punjab, Pakistan, are set to screen Indian and American movies on the upcoming occasion of Eid after local films were said to have failed to attract the audience.

Lollywood will reportedly come out with just three films while most of the cinemas in the country would offer three new Bollywood and two Hollywood films.

The cinema-owners and distributors held negligible and poor quality local production responsible for their turn to foreign movies, reports The Nation.

Nadeem Mandviwalla, renowned film promoter and director DHA Cinema, confirmed the DHA Cinema would run 'G I Joe', 'Wanted' and 'Dil Bole Haddipa' on the festive occasion.

But apparently, not all hope was said to be lost with few cinemas looking to present a local Punjabi film 'Nach K Yaar Manana' directed by Masood Butt.(ANI)

Why not have reruns of Maula Jutt !! The only Pakistani film that I really enjoyed. The rest were low budget shockers that made my grandfather cringe His pride on being from the land of the Indus shattered on seeing low quality gyrating hips and fat bums

Of course, Maula Jutt was a classic and I still have a DVD copy of it. Makes you wonder that given the obvious talent that the Pakistanis have, if they were given just an extra ounce of encouragement, how great the Pakistani film industry would be !!
