Pakistani logic:

"Indians, oh well. Can't live with them, can't kill them".

Morons. This is something that needs to be take up with PEMRA. Foreign shows must not be allowed in Pakistan. When we have all the capacity to produce wonderful drama and shows, why spending money on foreign shows? There was a time when we only had PTV, quality drama and shows used to be telecasted back then. This was followed by STN, the standard was still ok, and then came Musharraf and he opened up the floodgates and all sort of crap sneaked into our households. It is not that all the stuff is bad, I still watch art movies directed by Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal, and light movies directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, wow, just wow but what is being shown these days is crap, huge waste of time.

I think this is best for Pakistan Viewers.
Channels dont have ample content available hence they are buying in from foreign. Once the demand for local content rises, new production houses will come in to provide the content, it will be win win for both channels and industry. You need to look it from opportunity point of view. I find many pakisthani member have to much negative outlook towards everything in life

25-30yrs ago when Zee started in India, they had plenty of english content dubbed into hindi and showed on channel.
Contents of some of the show was not at all suitable for indian society but then, this kick started the Zee and today the group of dozens of channels almost in all local languages.

This type of flow of Pakistani capital to India is very bad. Last people who we should pay money to.

You call 30 crores as capital inflow ? ...... that is not even peanuts.

Just one of the man who produces such soaps, Chairman of Balajee Telefilms - Actor Jitendra is worth 1.6 Billion $. i.e. Rs. 10,000 Crores.

That is more than 3 times richer than Shah Rukh Khan. Just putting it in perspective.

yes u r right , women used to watch star plus , zee etc , but for the last 5 years Pakistani drama has taken over and the viewer hip of Indian channels has been reduced to virtually zero. Indian movies still are popular in cinemas.

For Indians perhaps, but for Pakistani's, JewTv is highly controversial and is possibly the worst benchmark to assess the Pakistani viewers opinions.

Jews are your cousins though

Really they can't get enough of our movies, when Salman Khan had his court verdict they printed it on Dawn.

spending close to Rs 35-40 crore and contributing around a fourth of the total Rs 170-180 crore syndication revenue.

 

[Nicky G]

So these silly soaps do turn out to be good for something after all. 4th gen war indeed.

[Brickwall]

If you are a student of history, please take 5/6 aspirins before you start watching Jodha Akbar.

Aspirin wont do.. my recommendation take loaded gun as a backup

[scionoftheindus]

Why do they buy Indian content?Don't Pakistanis watch those serials on Indian channels itself?Did they stop airing Indian channels?During the world cup I saw in a news channel a group of Pakistanis watching india pak match on star sports whereas the official broadcaster of world cup was ten sports in pak.Did everyone watch it like that only on star?wasn't it a big loss to the official broadcaster?
