My dear GA do you know India does not allow any Pakistani TV channels to be aired in India. Why we Pakistanis are dying for useless Indian movies.

Well said Bhai :)

In case you haven't noticed, we've been making pretty good movies, so unless you mean we are incapable of making horrid copies of hollywood movies, I don't see you point, sir.

why indians neva make a film showing a hindu girl in love with a muslim boy or an indian girl in love with pakistani boy? dont they have moral courage to make such movies as well ? why always a hindu guy and muslim girl or indian guy and pakistani girl? the fact is that all indian society is hostage of conservative typical thoughts though they have put low make up on the face. where are the liberalism then? they are no better than Taliban in their thoughts.

Are there cinema halls left in Pakistan ? I seriously thought all of them had been burnt down in the protests against the American movie.....

they love both movies but wont admit :)

As a matter of fact you will see new state-of-the-art cinema theatres being built across the country. Unfortunately only dark side of the picture is revealed through the media. There is a high degree of transformation taking place in Pakistan, no kidding.

If we're talking about minorities, yea they do suffer a terrible fate in Pakistan. I'm shia and I'm horrified when I hear all these hate crimes going on. It can't be stopped. By Indian minorities suffer the same fate. Muslims are called Pakistanis, just to be degraded. The quality of life they have is very sub-standard compared to Pakistani Muslims and they basically have no voice. Oh and another point you brought up, minorities from Pakistan will NEVER flee to India because they know they will be treated worse there.

Well, I think to point finger to others doesn't show the maturity and civilization. But I would like to say one thing, movie is the source for entertainment not to hurt people regardless of belonging to pak or india. One should keep this fact in mind by producing movies. By producing Border kind of movies, what the producer want to leave message? And senior actors should also think abt that before acting this kind of movies.

Also in 'Kurbaan'

It doesnt matter you make copy of hollywood movies.Its all about business,job opportunities....look at chinese.

Roney .. to clear one thing the Govt. is and never will be against any minority.. its a group of people or u can call a gang which caused problems and our Indian brothers and sisters were left with no option but to leave.. Trust me the same is happening to many Muslims across the country and they can go nowhere..

I love indian drama's every action is a reaction to Matrix, 5 minute of whole scene shown in a repetitive slow motion to make it an hours :) I have now stopped watching comedy shows cause this is much more fun

And i like to use this forum to convey the Censor Board, that I have been waiting long specifically for this movie to watch it in cinema. After Ra.One and Don 2 this will be the 3rd movie, i am going to watch in cinema if it releases. And like me, thousands of Srk fans who are eagerly waiting for this one. So I request Censor Board to release it in cinemas for the sake of majority people's desire.

Babri Masjid ? Train Bombing ? Samjhouta express ? should i write more ?

It does seem to cater to Indian sentiments and comes out strong against anything Muslim.

Indians are getting really rude and offensive here o.O

My name is khan..hindu girl and muslim boy.

Well said bhai :) This movie for us,,,you are not invited he he

May be due to Quality and content.

Pirated DVDs of this film will be selling soon on the street corners.

@Zeeshan: We do not need to learn liberalism from a Country which is made on one particular religion.

Another copy of Hollywood movie.. Just actors changed lol.. Welldone Copycat..

Pakistanis can't even do such simple things!!!!!!!

It looks like the copy of The Hurt Locker..................poor indians.........:)

This is movie and yes made by a company located in idia but we all love shahrukh khan more then any pakistani actor. so your ownership to indian actor is only till his nationality where as he is actor more popular in pakistan. Not because he is muslim but because he is having tremendous performance . Amita Bachan is similarly very popular in pakistan he is non muslim non pakistani but a tremendous person and i love his work. So i take your remarks offensive when you say they are your actor only. You are wrong then dont sell your movies outside India or dont give screening rights to any other country

and by this way we india and pak can become brothers of destruction against rest of the world....try to understandt buddy!!!

Pakistanis - please read this article from dawn and judge for yourselves.. http://dawn.com/2012/10/25/bollywood-has-an-immense-impact-on-our-lives/

you are not invited to watch..we are not coming to Pak to show our movies,Bollywood movies for indians not for you,,,so plz do not watch.

Pakistan was made for Indian Muslims.What is the problem watching Shahrukh Khan dressed as an Indian army man?May I know why Indian Muslims living in Pakistan hate Indians?

Copycats......Indians lack Originality

Can any Indian friend please explain why Indian governement does not allow pakistani TV channels to be aired in India?

isn;t adding romance to the original is a creativity ?

I'm sayin'.

Pakistan needs to take care of it's internal problems, which are real threat to its very existance, instead of putting up fights with India or other countries. You have to learn to live with others, in order to live your own life peacfully.

This censor board and it's useless decisions really challenge the people's intellect. This is the digital age where information cannot be controlled. PTV is no longer the only source of news through which people can be brainwashed.

Banning others' work is favourite of those who can't do much themselves.

Honestly, I don't understand why pakistani guys got disgusted or annyoed, when indian movie banned, ok there are several problems exist in pakistan, but it doen't mean that u feel disgusted. Why don't u disgust when an indian movie potray wrong image of pakistan or when they banned our television channels. Kindly think

For Pak audience, a movie was made few days back and the response was overwhelming and staggering.

Have you not seen any Indian film in your life? Have you not enjoyed it?

Wow!! Why? Does not Indian army have Muslims?

He is Indian first

A dumb move considering any entertainment becomes available digitally in no time. Perhapa a publicity stunt for the film:-)

Mind your words mate. First look at your own sleeves then talk about us. This is an Indian movie primarily for Indian people.

Have you seen it yet to know if it is hate mongering?

Pakistan should permanent banned indian movies in Pakistan ,these movies do not reflect our culture

Pakistan cares.

Ravindra, its our moral responsibility as a good neighbour to educate and uplift them from falling into the wrong path as we cannot choose our neighbours..its not about winning or loosing..we have had 3 wars already to prove it.

This is a Pakistani newspaper mainly for Pakistani people.

with all due respect sir,flms are made for a global audience not just indians

judgment without even knowing what the movie is all about.

I think it's quite pointless arguing over the censorship of a particular movie. As someone down below rightly pointed out, if anyone really wants to watch the movie, he/she can torrent it or stream it online. It is a fact that many Pakistanis actually enjoy movies from across the border. The reason behind this is that our own film industry has never had much success. Instead of criticizing Bollywood, we should be focusing on changing our film industry for the better. If this movie is censored, it will do no favors to our film industry because no one will go and watch Lollywood productions in any case. I think Khuda Kay Liye and Jinnah were the only movies that enjoyed success to a certain level in Pakistan. We need a revival!

it is pure madness.... Film will be banned in cinemas and theaters where only limited population go for watching movies. Whereas, film will be shown in whole Pakistan through cable operators and CDs........ I could not understand the logic behind such ban

Please read "Times of India" Instead of "The Hindu"

Agreed.

Why this is a news in Pakistan. We Indian even don't know any of Pakistani artist (unless they have worked in Any Indian film / music). It is a Indian film made for Indians. Whether you want to see or not it's your choice only.

Encourage the tolerance and should not banned the movie in Pakistan

Pakistanis are okay with piracy but not with copycat movies :D

I used to watch 'Crime Patrol' serial on TV. But since it is for a limited time, I read Pakistani news, where the entertainment is ten times more

another sensible neighbour, good job Khalid, Pak needs more learned people like you..

Your comment surprised me. I thought it was an Indian paper with an occasional Pakistani commenting here. Thanks for clearing that up,

Was...?

@ Kavan : Indian movie makers make copy of Hollywood movies and just add some romantic scenes in it. That's all.. They don't have any creativity.

See My name is khan

lol, that cracked me like anything... mate, its better for you if this movie is not released in pakistan... btw, its a romantic saga and nothing else.. copy of hurt locker.. hahahaha..

Is Hollywood or Bollywood closer to Pakistan ?

and could you please elaborate on your culture please..

and then you go and secretly watch them all... pity u

We are countries who ban and put things under the carpet.

You are absolutely right. Saif Ali Khan's sister's boyfriend is Hindu by the way.

Looks like some people here watch only fanatic movies from Pak, have you watched movies like Veer Zara from the same Director ? Have you watched Bombay ? Most Indian Movies are based on people of different religions, castes, status etc to bridge the gap and to live in harmony. this is one of the reasons why india is called the largest democracy in the world...Pak does force conversion of minorities, demolish their places of worship and chase them out into india..please start watching all kind of movies from India and then pass ur comments.

Films are something which Indians and Pakistanis share and enjoy.. Let us use binding agents not anger!

I'm Pakistani and proud to be Pakistani !!!! And I shame on u......Indians have many issues but they never saying any single word ....... U r disgusting

What a joke!!

and do u have a film industry to be proud about ? ask ur parents and grandparents what they have grown up watching..Indian movies or pakistani movies

At least we are trying to portray the truth as against fools like you who still think it is a paradise in the midst of Taliban and your Al Quada friends...

why comment here then Cool Monk?

Whatever Pakistan decides is irrelevant. Why bother?

DO you think Indian movies means Bollywood?? No mate. Its much more than that. We have hundreds of films releasing in vernacular languages every month, in which many social and socio-political issues are portrayed. So update you knowledge and then comment... Cheers

You should not be here either then dude.

TV channels Like ? People in Pakistan dont watch their own channels and are addicted to Indian Movies and TV channels, you think they are worthy of Indians to watch ? lol

exactly, someone across the border is sensible here..Good job Mohammad

All Bollyood should be banned in India and Pakistan. They do not represent our values

That is why it is banned in Pakistan. It is not for Pak audience.

because they are good. we in india dont watch them but they are a hit in pakistan

Ha ha ha aha , Who cares Pakistanis watch Movie OR Not, and Pakistan is Totally Insignificant to Indians while we make Movie. @ KARIM, Who Cares Pakistan BANS Indian Movie or NOT Indian Movies are for Indian Audience and European,US, Middle East Indian Diaspora, SO we request BAN Indian Movies ASAP In Pakistan.

Most Bollywood top actors like Aamir Khan, Saif Ali, John Abraham, Hritik Roshan have played the role of Islamic militants in movies. Can any top actor from Hollywood do that? The issue of descrimination against Muslims in the west was portrayed very well in 'My name is Khan', also the lead actor marries a Hindu girl in the movie.

Why don't u ban pakistani artist working in bollywood? :)

Such a long hateful conversation only because of a movie. Guys chill its just a movie your fate will not turn upside due to this. And for Gods sake Stop being Indian and Pakistani be Humans first guys.

jus watch the movie and enjoy it. who cares who you are, which country you are from and which religion you are from. life is too short to argue on those arrogant issues. it is jus the movie.

What non sense....all of u see our movies ?? perhaps to check if they have creativity ? LOL

Sir can you kindly elaborate what EXACTLY are you proud of??

Why?Why? Just check any of our entertainment magazines or online posts or articles on internet or tv .Well we will find the answer.Because we don't have anything of our own.We envy it the most but we still watch it with the greatest passion.We bring their movies down but we do grow up ,watching their movies in everyday of our life.

can you elaborate on the "they have been sacrificing every field to benefit the neigbouring country" part?

Shahrukh Khan should have refused to do this movie.

Dear Zeeshan, I really like your analysis of the situation. Do you ever wonder about the conservative values and double standards we hae in our own society?. Or you are only worried about Indian society which has progressed like no country in te world has done in the last 20 years?. Your comments are baseless, disjointed and pathetic. I wish people in Pakistan were more concerned about improving the situation in our own country than to worry about how bad India is doing.

You can't be serious. Gone are the days when Starplus dramas were a source of (pointless) entertainment in Pakistan. Ab tou humsafar on hai boi.

I am unable to understand the policy of Pak Govt especially the Film Censor Board. On a political scanrio, If we look at the their foreign policy, they have been sacrificing every field to benefit the neigbouring country. But when it come to movies, they try to ban each and every thing, even it shows the least of what they accept practically.

Bollywood films are junk, just ban them all.

Such a long hateful conversation only because of a movie. Guys chill its just a movie your fate will not turn upside due to this. And for Gods sake (whoever it is Allah or Bhagwan) Stop being Indian and Pakistani be Humans.

In tht case u need to mind ur own business and not get worried abt ne film getting banned in Pakistan. Dont stress urself over it!!

i like this spirit dude :) God bless Pakistan n India x

Still most of Pakistani artists making beeline to enter in same Bollywood ;)

All indian films should be banned without any rationale.

And although our Pakistani drama's were much more fun and entertaining to compete in the market they started copying the same idea the Matrix Vision, an since then we are a slow nation in drama's too. Indian movies are always appreciated they are good. :)

why?????

But Pakistani movies are screened in India.... There was a good movie by name Khuda kay liye...I have ssen it... Its not wt u imagine..

well said .

well they are capable of brainwashing innocent muslims against India for a start...

I live in Chicago US. I know lots of hindu girls going out with Pakistani guys. Infact my younger brother was married to a hindu girl.

Zeeshan...watch my name is khan and jodha akbar...and in real life..the examples are shahrukh,aamir,saif,fardeen khan,farhan azmi and dont forget mohsin khan.

SRK is Indian muslim; not pakistani muslim :)

Pakistanis are incapable of making anything themselves. Just crib. crib. crib.

Its not BLOCK, its cheap PUBLICITY, First it was EAK THA TIGER & now this BAN it THEN , people become intrested & theb pass it pepole will see it.

Please put your politics away for a moment and let people have a good time watching a good film

Next time , Shahrukh should call you to ask which movie is to do or not..!!!! Wait his phone call...!!!

What going on at your side is called jealously.

Well done Pakistan. Enough of indian movies promoting Pakistan as evil and themselves as saints. WOnder if the Indian producers would make a film on Indian aggression in Kashmir. Guess not.

For india not allowing pakistani channels to be aired ..only reason is pakistan can only talk terror,religion nd india..no entertainment at all.

Not exactly, Pak channels are far better then Indian channels. Some of the shows on zeeTV still exits from 1990's

The Chinese government banned the American TV show Desperate Housewives. All the Chinese young people watched it over the internet. Very popular in Chinese university dorm rooms..

I really appreciate that u r watching movies so closely that u are giving expert opinion on the source of the movie...Why don't you try something and come up in ur country so that we can too enjoy it? Before criticizing, learn to appreciate....u will be always happy that way....

Because Muslim girls in general are beautiful whether they are from India or Pakistan so the equation is Hindu/Indian boy and Muslim/Pakistani girl.

It is pakistan's internal policy. A country had every right to do so. But such act is not good.

please watch Ishqiya, Jodha Akbar, My name is Khan, and many others. When the topic is Hindu-muslim relationship, then the religion of the "boy" or the "girl is immeterial in Indian cinema.Pakistanis only seem to remember Veer Zaara.

Bollywood addicted Pak :)

yaa it is a contradiction.

indian government is also banning our tv channels so think about it also my inteligent pakistani fellows.

india is also banning our tv channels what u say abut this Mr disgusted

My Dear A, most pakis dont watch their own tv channels in the first place and are addicted to Indian Movies and TV channels, so how do you expect Indians to like it them ? Look around you, all Pakistanis have grown up watching indian movies and following Indian cultures !

Why ? coz he is a muslim ??

Pakistan and India should become good neibouring countries, it responsibilties of peoples of both sides to respect each other in order to live life peacfully. It just a three hours movie and nothing else.

Cant be a copy, hurt locker wasnt a love story. this flick would be predominantly a love story.

Totally agree

As usual i will be watching this movie through torrent , hence this ban will not affect. Indian film industry is quite big. They convey their message through their films a lot. we should have a strong industry like them to answere them in an affective way. Banning the film only in cinema may not be the best way to stop their propoganda.

Government! Please block u tube, mobile phone and Indian movies but do not block corruption. Pakistani Politician

Another sensible neighbour...Good one Mate..

At a any time I have the option of watching 100 regional (and local cable) channels, 50-100 national channel and over 200 international channels . I dont have time for conspiracy theories. Most news and programs from Pakistan give news that is exactly opposite from what the whole world (including Afghanistan, middle east countries and Bangladesh) believes to be the truth. Who cares for the odd man out programs and news. But at times I do watch them when I wish to watch a comdey show

Block everything. Block youtube, block mobile signals, block internet, block facebook, block films, block freedom of speach, block breathing, block living.. in short stop living Pakistanis. You are only slaves of the politicians so only learn to be and live like a slave BTW im also a Pakistani and disgusted with ourselves.....

Yes by banning we'll demonstrate what our real values are.

why is that u'll get offended by everything... Its a movie get over it...

I read the title of the news and instead of reading the article I scrolled down to comments section. Why? Because its always fun to see educated Bharteez and Pakistaniz spatting each others faces for no apparent reason. BTW most of Hindi movies are inspired or copied from Hollywood movies which on the other hand are also inspired or copied from Asian movies (Chinese, Japanese, Korean...) and European movies. Why don't Hindi Filmmakers directly copy the films from Asian and European cinema? It would certainly make them competitor of their Hollywood counterpart. Kudos to Holly and Bolly lol!

Who cares..?? This is Indian movie primarily made for Indian audience. Cheers :)

Such hate mongering endeavors from Bollywood must not be shown in Pakistan.

From the total number of thumbs up and down...INDIANS WON THIS GREAT DEBATE :D

IT'S A PAYCHECK.

Naah .. we watch our own channels. Our dramas are way better than yours and there is no question about it. Even indians watch them through web. Get your facts straight

I watch both Indian Dramas and Pakistani Dramas on Geo and Hum TV. Story, dialogues and standard of acting is far superior in Pakistani Dramas. Ten Precent of Indian Films are very good but for such films story is often copied from Hollywood Movies.

Seems you are quite misinformed friend. Do your research before spewing thinly veiled disdain. Never understand why grown ups turn these comments into a nasty, childish and petty war. No wonder the ties between countries are pitiful. Children running around wearing grown up clothing in both countries. Time to grow up, no?

Watch Jodha Akbar for starters. :)

Who cares !!!

Hindi film industry does not make money because of pirated Hindi DVD movies and CDs are freely sold throughout Pakistan . Its simple economics guys . These movies are made keeping in mind the Indian audience . So , anything against Pakistan shown in these movies , is a big seller in India . Pakistanis are not even considered as paying audience thus very insignificant . Why do you think Hindi film industry should write scripts which are pro Pakistan ? As a matter of fact industry should try to prevent piracy and put anti-Pakistan contents to discourage them to watch even for free .

hahaha.. rofl.. indeed, don't worry he will ask you next time before signing any other likewise movie.

atleast Indians can copy, pakis can't even copy, haha!

-_- seriously? is that the best you could come up with?

What about in reality marriage of Karina Kapoor (Hindu Girl) with Saif Ali Khan (muslim Boy).

90% pakistanis watched our banned movies like EK THA TIGER and AGENT VINOD through pirated DVD' s and CD.....hi...hi

Dont they show Dramas from Pakistan because i have seen them in India.

Dear Brothers, try to understand few facts, these are just publicity stunts. Such news are spread in order to create curiosity in masses. People reading this news get excited and try to watch the movies, which only fills the pockets of the cinema houses and the movie produces who sell their movie rights.

Mr Khan, As usual there are the 'Patriotic Pakis' who have reacted negatively because you are honest in calling a spade a spade. The country is corrupt, starting from its police to its politicians, its sportmen to its judiciary. and its clergy to its educational institutions,.but, when one lives in moral filth, one becomes immune to this cancer. Pakistan, in all its existance, has contributed nothing good to the world, except maybe pain and hopelessness. I have lived in a few other countries, and none can be compared to the poor standards that Pakistanis are forced to live by and are still in a state of fantasy and self-deceit??. . t
