Pakistan removes ban on Indian Movies

Pakistan has decided to lift the ban on Indian films, which was imposed after the relations between the two countries worsened after the Uri attacks.

Cinema halls across Pakistan will begin screening films from today. The movie will prove to be a big advantage for the upcoming film ‘Dangal’ starring Aamir Khan in the lead.

The management of Pakistani cinemas on September 30 announced indefinite suspension of screening of all Bollywood movies as a protest against the ban of Pakistani artists in India.

Pakistani artists were banned in India following an attack on an Army base in Uri town of Jammu and Kashmir.

“We lifted the suspension as a cinema guild. We took this decision to support them (Indian cinemas) and expect them to support us,” said a cinema owner.

The first movie to be screened will be actor Sohail Khan’s ‘Freaky Ali’ starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead.

Hindi films are hugely popular in the Pakistan and the ban on Indian films has reportedly resulted in huge losses for cinema owners from across the border.
