why don't we start calling it PFI (Pakistan Film Industry). Sounds more elegant and meaninful to me than lollywood. And whoever came up with name "Lollywood" needs be slapped across his/her face.

Yes, I agree, it would be a good move to distance themselves from that "lollywood" name, or any name ending with "wood". PFI is a good choice.
lovely suggestion.. now lets find that person and every pakistani gets on slap.. 
I wonder, has the Pakistani film industry always been called "Lollywood"? Was it ever under another name?
no. As far as I know, this “prestigious” name was granted to it unofficially in the mid 90’s. Don’t know who
started it or what year to be exact but it was mid 90’s, a time period when POP had suddenly sky rocketed toward success, Billo was ruling the country, and etertainment walas were having their high times. That’s when this word started appearing in the news paper, megazines and newly launched filmy shows.
