Pakistani cinemas to resume screening Indian movies
ISLAMABAD — Pakistani cinema owners will resume the screening of Indian movies after a two-month self-imposed ban linked to the Kashmir conflict.
Nadeem Mandliwala, a board member of the Pakistan Film Exhibitors Association, said Sunday that the group wanted to “lodge a protest” and felt that the message had been sent. He said the decision to boycott the films came in response to a similar move by the Indian film industry.
Tensions have soared in recent months over Kashmir, a divided Himalayan territory claimed by both nuclear-armed rivals.
