They have bus services and train services and conduct international talks and wave the peace flag. But Indian cinema is not allowed to be screened in theaters in Pakistan. Now and then a film is screened with special permission, but this is not taken into account!

But Indian film DVDS are sold there illegally. Indian film audio sales are very good in Pakistan. It is usual for Madrasas there to preach to kids that seeing films and hearing music are Satanic pursuits and armed with lathis, the errant shop owners are warned in a 'friendly' threat.

The Hindi film 'Aavaaraapan' was running well in Pakistan. It stars Imraan Hasmi and Shriya, who depended heavily on this film to step into Bollywood. This film was not produced by an Indian company, so there was no problem to releasing it there.

But the fact is that 'Aavaaraapan' is a Hindi film and conservatives as well as Pakistani producers demanded that the film should not be screened. In fact, Pakistan producers have filed a case for a stay order on the film being screened in Pakistan.

So, Shriya's film could soon be chased back to Indian boundaries!
