Pakistan should be depicted with respect in Bollywood films: Indian directors

[war&peace]

How can you build peace or negotiate with a nation and a race of people who call for the death and destruction of your race, nation and religion? It's impossible to do so.

Also, I beg to differ in your opinion. I have just got back from Pakistan a few months ago and the situation there is very different. In fact completely different to what it was 10-15 years ago. The demand for indian films has virtually gone. No one cares or talks about bollywood like they used to in the 1990s. The CPEC effect has truely sank in, in Pakistan.

Exactly, now people like to watch Turkish dramas and international content. We should raise literacy rate so people don't need to even think about cheap Gangadeshi content. In extended family, the average education is 16 years and thus there is none who watch Indian content.. if we want, we can enjoy quality international movies though most of prefer reading books and discussing them on a coffee table...

I never watched any crap from Gangadesh nor did my family or friends.. there is a minority that watches this crap but their number is going down.

Funny but the revenues are going up and up

it will take 50 years to raise literacy rate of pakistan , turkish is not pakistani it is alien culture you want to see .so better see maula jutt or see superior indian content .

The 5th Gen. Warfare, Bollywood is part of it in my opinion. Ordinary Pakistani watch Bollywood movies and become influenced by them. It is a real shame we don't have quality content ourselves to counter it, then again what of quality is left in Pakistan? Maybe just a few, the likes of IK and General Bajwa.

Pakistan should be depicted with respect in Bollywood films: Indian directors

Rajeev Masand’s The Directors Roundtable somehow always manages to highlight important aspects of film-making in Bollywood. The Indian journalist brings together a host of actors to discuss issues plaguing the industry and what can be done to eradicate them.

This time, however, the focus wasn’t just on India but Pakistan too. Well, at least the portrayal of Pakistan in Indian films which, refreshingly, has been rather positive of late.

SCREENGRAB

This year saw the release of three major Bollywood films, namely Mulk, Raazi and Manto, which showed a soft image of Pakistan. In Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi, for instance, there was no sense of jingoism even though the storyline was based on internal politics between the two neighbouring countries.
The Pakistani characters in the film were treated with as much sensitivity as their Indian counterparts and to have a big star like Alia Bhatt star in such a film made it even better.

Masand brought Gulzar together with Manto director Nandita Das and Mulk’s Shoojit Sircar to discuss this change in ideology. Asked if they were happy that they were able to show these stories and felt that it was high time to Pakistan was shown with sensitivity, Das said, “Absolutely. It was needed for sure and I think that is why all three of us engaged on the subject.”

Adding to this, Gulzar said, “To be able to do it was also something like this was very liberating. I am coming from a place where, there was a time where you couldn’t even say ‘Pakistan’ in a film and one was restricted to using worlds like ‘uss taraf (that side)’ or ‘parosi (neighbour)’ etc…So, to be able to say ‘Pakistan’ now in a film is a big step forward.”

Talking about how so many Pakistani singers lend their voices to Bollywood songs, Sircar said, “We are collaborating on a creative process. We are not dividing but rather uniting so what is the harm in it?”

Another important point raised in The Directors Roundtable was the fact that no international has ever been allowed to shoot in Pakistan and any scenes picturised on Pakistan have to be shot in parts of India or Kashmir.

No.. Pakistan shouldn't be depicted in anyway in any of the bollywood movies.. we don't need to be mentioned in your movies..

Create a fictitious enemy and beat the crap out of it in your movies..

Actually watching bollywood spreads the rape culture and vulgarity as you know rape is an integral of Gangadeshi culture since ancient times reference read about "Deva Dassies" etc so we should ban this subhuman content. People are already watching Pakistani dramas and movies...

Not nearly enough people are. We need to up the quality of our content. If we can do that, we will be in a much better position and our general public will not need to turn to Bollywood so much for entertainment.
