Pathaan illegal" screening in Defence Housing Authority, Karachi cancelled by the board of film censor :

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

The Sindh Board of Films Censor has stopped the public screening of the Indian movie Pathaan.

Following a report published in these pages of Dawn on February 1 about illegal screenings of the movie at different venues in Defence Housing Authority, the SBFC did its own bit of investigation to find the social media pages selling tickets for private screenings of the movie.

According to the SBFC, only films certified by them are allowed for public or private viewing. “No person shall make or arrange a public or private exhibition of a film by means of cinematograph unless the film has been duly certified for public exhibition by the Board.”

In light of the provision mentioned, and citing other laws and punishment including imprisonment for up to three years and fines of as high as Rs100,000, the board demanded from the Firework Events, the company responsible for the screenings, to cancel its shows immediately.

As a result of the warning, Fireworks Events cancelled all of its private screenings of Pathaan.

Not surprising.

Pakistanis don’t have an option other than watching Bollywood movies. Their own movie industry is non existent.

Pakistani dramas are far far superior to anything from India, as is the Pakistani music industry

Indian films need to be banned and replaced with something else, anything else

Distance between the peoples of South Asia and Hindus is essential

It seems majority of Pakistanis don’t agree with that. They love Indian content. Pakistan is a die hard fan of Bollywood. We make a lot of money there and then use that money to produce arms that kill terrorists. So it’s win win for all who hate terrorists.

Not surprising - I still remember that before 2000s, most of the pirated movies and songs used to play in Pakistan.

Since music and melodies have no limits, nothing was incorrect. However, primarily resulted in losses for the producers and Pakistani government, because the Pakistani government does not receive the taxes.

Although not significantly better, most viewers become tired of witnessing the same drama over and over again because Indian dramas are made with more than 100 episodes.

It is advantageous if someone is free and watches a drama within the following two to three days. I believe there are only 30 to 40 episodes in a Pakistani drama.

I favor Turkish drama over those from Pakistan and India.

Pakistanis are addicted to bollywood ,they listen to its songs ,play it on their functions.

even use its memes, its only on this forum that their is denial about it,

It's waning

There are cultural similarities and understandings, hence the viewership

Bollywood also had a strong Muslim contingent

However change is coming and as hindutva extremist poison spreads it effects all sections of society

The Hindu extremists are waging a war and Bollywood is also a target, as the traditional Muslims of Bollywood age, the replacements are useless

It took SRKs whole power to defeat Hindu extremism and it's attempted boycott of Pathaan



SRK movies and that type of generic secular bullshit might pass



But the hindutva, Hindu shit being peddled will die a dogs death, so whether Bollywood can fight back is the question because without the Big Khan's the interest is waning

Hit the nail right on the head, There was a time we use to watch Bollywood but its absolute garbage now. Pakistani dramas are a far better choice.

In Pakistan, theater owners decided not to screen Indian movies. Within three months, seat occupancy in theaters fell to 11 percent.

Despite numerous efforts to introduce movies from other cultures, including dubbed versions of Turkish films, Bollywood remains the primary choice for moviegoers in Pakistan.

Their WAS a cultural connection

But it's not with the Hindu propaganda shit being peddled and being forced upon Bollywood by hindutva


There is very little cultural connection to that Rubbish



SRK sure
Salman khan sure
Amir Khan sure


But you think Pakistani populations will sit there watching some made up fantasy bullshit about dickless Hindu warriors



Bollywood for it's part knows it audience and the question is whether it can defeat the Hindu extremists

You got to be joking about the dramas? Dramas revolve around women constantly crying because of marriage/ family problems. The directors have no creativity.

Have to admit Pakistanis are beghairat and uneducated sheeps who wouldn't stop dancing on Bollywood tunes. But in all honesty, this number has declined significantly from what it used to be back in the early 2000 era.

Back then Bollywood movies were good but now they are trash.

Theater owners have their own greed. They want to make money from whatever comes in hand.. they k ow what you show skin and what you call masala dialogues public comes.
The state policy is to not have Indian movies screened and no helll broke lose.


I can tell you this first hand that ertugral is more popular than the whole bollywood put together.
