Film industry is a very important factor in any nation’s cultural development. In Pakistan where the film industry is almost destroyed by the flood of indian movies, it is very heartening to see that there is still some hope left.

Shoaib Mansoor is doing a good job!
We should all support our film industry by going to cinemas.

Pakistan film industry was excellent in 50’s , 60’s and up to mid 70’s. Then comes mardood Zia-ul-Haq, who did every effort to destory the Pakistani film industry, though this munfiq-e-Azam invited indian actors such as shetrugun Sinha to his house on the demand of mentally challenged daughter.

Coming back to quality of Pakistani cinema in those days, they were as good as Indian movies perhaps better. I can give you few names Budnaam, Doraaha, Arman, Aag Ka Darya, Shaheed, Kala Paani, Sangam (former East Pakistani Movie), Talash, Anjuman and so on. The songs were superb as compared to Indian songs. Many songs are now stolen by Indian directors. Unfortunately new generation of singers could not replace star singers such as Mehdi Hasan, Ahmad Rushdi, Salim Raza, Noor Jehan, Mala, Runa Lela, Mujib Aalam, Akhlaq Ahmad, Rubina Qureshi, and yes my most favorite Masood Rana.

Iam very much in favor of revising Pakistani film industry. If Pakistani dramas outperform Indian Movies, why not Pakistani Movies. I have seen a tons of trashed Indian movies in recent future and decided to stop watching these sh1ty movies.
