New Delhi: As Bollywood films continue to provide a lease of life to cinema owners and the entertainment-starved people of Pakistan, some domestic producers have stepped up efforts to impose restrictions on their import.
Sixteen Bollywood movies were widely screened in Pakistan last year, marking a high after a four-decade ban on Indian films. "Dhoom 3 " starring Aamir Khan has done roaring business and is still pulling people in droves to cinemas across the country.
"It is because of Indian movies that new cinemas are being built in Lahore," Ramzan Shiekh, the owner of two state-of-the-art theatres, said.
"I am going to build another one in the city. Both my existing halls were booked for four daily shows of 'Dhoom 3 ' and still people kept coming to watch the movie."
