Lahore, Pakistan - Why would I drive 4-1/2 hours to see a Pakistani movie?
Well, for starters, the only movie theater in Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, was torched by a Sunni mob during sectarian riots four years ago.

There will be soon one, called “Ghazi Mahal” adorned with big posters from yesteryears pics of Anjuman.
Re: Islamabad has no movie theater?
They should build 1 cineplex in Islamabad where they can show Hollywood movies and hold movie premiers
Re: Islamabad has no movie theater?
Islamabad has a big theater in islamabad club , i had seen a english-urdu drama there
and all the elite (big boss ) of islamabad use to see english dramas there
i don’t know that is used for english movies or not
but i certainly know that that club is not used for urdu, punjab etc movies
Rawalpindi is full of cinemas
and you know even if you combine both islamabad and rawalpindi , it will be smaller then karachi , so no need to drive a lot

can't believe a city as modern as islamabad doesnt have a proper movie theatre
Re: Islamabad has no movie theater?
Islamabad doesn't need a movie theatre, it has aunty Shamim, better entertainment.

actually there is no need
when you have many cinemas at a distance of 20 to 30 min drive

there seems to pure demand and supply theory, the kind of movies Pakistan Film Industry produces does not target the Islamabad audience,infact they are not fans of Hollywood / bollywood movies and if any of the Islamabad resident wishes to watch one the can easily drive to Rawalpindi or buy a DVD.
Beside Cinema owners like to construct halls in higly populated area so that they can have max. number of spectators...
Re: Islamabad has no movie theater?
What about Melody? Just few furlongs away from the Lal Masjid. And NAFDEC cinema!

why would someone drive 20-30 minutes to watch a movie, when they can go to a much more upscale place in Islamabad and after that they can go to dinner or something....
I mean there is a demand for watching American movies with more upscale people rather than watching Pakistani movies with tonga and rickshaw drivers
