Pakistan court imposes restriction on Indian movies

The court's order came days after Pakistan's electronic media regulator slapped fines worth Rs 10 million on 10 entertainment channels for airing excessive Indian and foreign content, including films and serials.



Indian movies have largely fuelled a boom in the Pakistani box office after former military ruler Pervez Musharraf eased restrictions on their import in 2006.

The screening of Indian movies was banned by Pakistan after the 1965 war but pirated copies of the films were widely available across the country.

Bollywood movies, which are released almost simultaneously in Pakistan, have brought people back to cinemas and led to the construction of new cineplexes in cities like Islamabad and Lahore.
