EntertainmentMajor cinemas agree to end ban on screening Indian films

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Major cinemas in Pakistan have agreed to end a ban on Indian films imposed when relations between the two countries deteriorated in September.

According to BBC Radio, the decision to ban the films came amid a rise in military tensions over the disputed territory of Kashmir.

   

The boycott was imposed after some Indian film-makers had banned Pakistani actors from working in Bollywood films. Bollywood is popular in Pakistan, and the self-imposed ban is reported to have led to a dramatic loss of revenue.

The move followed a surge in violence in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Film distributors and cinema owners in Pakistan said they would resume screening the films on Monday. Pakistan first imposed a ban on Indian films following the Indo-Pakistan war of 1965. The ban was eventually lifted in 2008.
