On Friday, a group of Pakistani theatre owners announced that they would be boycotting Indian films until the current bilateral tensions eased. Read the report here: Indian films won't play in Pakistani theatres; ban on 'all Indian content' considered Atrium Cinemas, Centaurus and Super Cinemas were among the theatre chains that announced they would not be screening Indian films in the present scenario. other chains, like Cinepax, had not yet reached a decision on whether or not they would abide by the (at present, voluntary) ban. However, on Friday, calls to ban all Indian content — not just publicly screened films — grew. A boycott of DVDs from India as well as Indian TV shows was demanded by certain quarters. The PEMRA move regarding Indian channels come as the Indian Motion Pictures Producers’ Association announced a ban on all Pakistani artistes and technicians working in India. Prior to that, Dr Subhash Chandra Goel, the chairman of Zee, announced that the network would be pulling all Pakistani shows off air from its Zindagi channel. Zindagi has broadcast some of the most successful Pakistani TV serials, such as Zindagi Gulzar Hai and Humsafar, in India since its inception.
