BBC (INDIA) - A critically acclaimed Pakistani film on Islam was released across cinemas in India. It is the first Pakistani film to get a wide commercial release in India in over four decades. Officially, India and Pakistan have banned each other's films since going to war in 1965. But in recent years, the two coun
tries have made exceptions. In 2003, Pakistani film Khamosh Paani (Silent Waters) had a limited release in India. In 2006, Pakistan allowed three Indian films to be shown. Indian films are hugely popular in Pakistan and illicit copies are easy to find. India's Hindi-language film industry, which includes Bombay's Bollywood movies, is the world's largest by viewership.
