Pakistan theatres stop screening Indian Films after surgical strike

A few Pakistani theatres have decided to stop screening Indian films, after the Indian government launched surgical strikes against militants from Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

A Karachi multiplex ‘Nueplex Cinemas’ posted a message on its official Facebook page announcing that the theatre would stop screening Indian films with immediate effect.

“To express solidarity with the Armed Forces of Pakistan, the Management of Nueplex Cinemas has decided to stop the screening of Indian films with immediate effect”

A few other theatres have also decided to stop showing Indian films.

On Thursday, the Indian Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, directed the Indian Army to launch surgical strikes targeting terrorist camps. News channels have reported that 30-40 terrorists have been killed in the operation that took place before dawn on Thursday.

Over the last few years, the collections of Indian films in Pakistan has seen significant growth. While it has helped increase the overseas collections of Hindi films, theatre owners in the neighbouring country have also seen their revenue jump due to increase in footfalls.

With the relationship between the two countries worsening with each passing day, distributors from Pakistan have decided not to release ’MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ in theatres this week as the film is about an “Indian hero”.

  • hahaha we can only laugh on india’s surgical strike launched because we watched that video released by Pakistan Army and that video showed that indian soldiers running and dying even 40,000 indian soldiers gave leave applications.. hahaha surgical strike can’t stop laugh

  • When MNS Decided To Ban Movies,Where Already Involved Pakishtani Actors On Those Movies…I Feel Its Unfair…But Today Its Proved Me Wrong….Saala All Pakishtani R Terrorists..Sorry To Gud Human Of Pak But Your Country Doing Like That.!

  • Nation comes first.

    If Pakistani artists can condemn terrorist attacks on Paris, they must condemn terrorist attacks in Uri too.

    Infact, they deliberaly declined to condemn any attack on Indian soldiers. Only shows they were in favor of terrorists killing soldiers in their sleep.

    No one cares if their cinemas shut down as they loose 70% of their revenue.

  • Tum kay ban karoge….bollywood should not release any movie in pakistan…..
    Aukaat kay hai pakistan ki india ke samane…..they cant even manufacture niddle in there country…..surviving on others countries…….

  • Only for few weeks, once footfall will decrease they will all line up to get the rights of any eena, meena, deeka kind of bollywood movies. These business can only do so much.

  • Even US has said that it was just a normal LOC firing. shame on BJP Govt for fooling common people. Actually corrupt generals want more and more money and defence budget so when AAP & Congress asked for action they were under pressure to show some FAKE Gimmiks

  • A big film like ETT too was banned in Pakistan. Kya ukaad liya?
    The biggest market for Indian film is still India and most of the films generate from this market itself….

  • With this ban on Indian films in Pakistan, 20th films like ADHM and Raees will find itself in much more deep shits.
    Now, bhakts will demand more and more to stop these films, which is sad.

  • Some highly intellectual people of #terroristan

  • This is the same India was’nt screening pakistani films such as Na Maloom afrad, Bin Roy, Waar
    and now pakistan will take action to them but the attack on kashmire terrioest it’s way to worse then now and they are not terrorist they are muslim civilliance which they are killing to steel the kashmire bczzz they were sloging for pakistan

  • Bhai,excuse me,hollywood films are not dubbed in hindi,the language is urdu but u jst say it hindi,so jst go away!

  • Now we can understand the reason for Bollywood producing flop after flop. The main reason is blow par stories they make up. Any army in the word who has conducted any strikes outside their territory have produced some evidence and videos. But not Indian army. If there is any evidence why don’t Indian army show it. Even US produced a video when they attacked Osama. And even the idea of camps within two km of LOC and 40 odd people assembling near LOC is ridiculous.

  • @Bhai, ppl in Pakistan understand English as they are not Bhai Fans, they see and continue to see hollywood movies in Pakistan…Just few months ago I was in Pak and every Hollywood movie LIKE Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, Now You See Me 2, Pete’s Dragon, Angry Birds were housesfull 4 2 weeks continuosly,.,So don’t worry about this…And hollywood movies aren’t played in hindi in cinemas but in english

  • I guess lots of porkistanis are active in this site perhaps more than indians.. So porkistan doesn’t have even a proper entertainment site and are bragging to fight indian army which captured them entirely in 1971.. lol..

  • aes eid pe pakistani 3 movies release hui aur teeno ek hit ek super hit aur ek blockbuster the. now our own cinemas are progressing. agar tum pakistani actors no nikal rahe ho to hum bhe tumahri filme nahe dekhna chahte. now there will be no 2 biggest market for indians film from which there movies earns billions of rupees..
