Pakistan to show Bollywood film - BBC
A film from Bollywood's movie industry is to be screened in Pakistani cinemas - despite an official ban on Indian films lasting almost half a century. Sohni Mahiwal - based on folklore popular in the Punjab region - has been given special exemption. The Pakistan Film Producers Association said the move did not mean the overall ban on Indian films was being lifted. Pakistan banned screenings of Indian films in 1965, when the countries fought the second of their three wars ... said the distributor of Sohni Mahiwal, a 1984 romance and Indo-Russian joint production, had approached Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf for the waiver. The film's distributor, Ali Zafar, said he had imported the film in 1989 and had fought a legal battle since then to screen the film in Pakistan.
