Karachi is the centre of the Pakistani film industry or Lollywood. The word Lollywood was coined in the summer of 1989 in Glamour magazine, published in Karachi, by gossip columnist Saleem Nasir.

The term Lollywood was later used by the media when the cinema of Pakistan had its total revival with the release of Jeeva in 1996 by ARY Digital Network.

Notable actors and actresses from Pakistan include the late Sabiha Khanum and Santosh Kumar who were instrumental in establishing Lahore as a major film making city back in the 1950s.

The Pakistani film industry produced over fifty feature films in 2014. Lollywood is the Urdu language movie industry in Lahore, Pakistan. It was the first film industry to be established in the South Asian region.[citation needed]

Many actors and directors from the Indian Bollywood (Hindi-Urdu) film industry migrated to the Lollywood film industry. Some of these include Dilip Kumar, Muhammad Ali, B. R. Chopra, Kamal Amrohi, Qamar Zaman, Javed Sheikh, Waheed Murad, Nadeem Baig and Abdul Sattar Khan.

When Did Pakistani Movies Start

The first Pakistani-produced film was Teri Yaad (1948), directed by Najam Naqvi. In 1949, the film industry moved to Karachi because of its superior infrastructural facilities at that time.

Pakistani cinema is a flourishing industry in Pakistan. It has played an important part in Pakistani culture for more than 70 years. The beginnings of Pakistani cinema goes back to the time of partition between India and Pakistan when Lahore was a major centre of film production.

The industry saw its golden age from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, when a large number of big-budget films were produced annually. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the capital was shifted to Karachi.

Actors like Dilip Kumar, Noor Jehan, Kamini Kaushal, Pran, Santosh Kumar and Madhubala became famous across South Asia. Movies such as Mirza Ghalib (1954), Anarkali (1955), Mughal-e-Azam (1960) and Jhansi Ki Rani (1956) were successful both at home and abroad.

The industry produced many great actors, including Sultan Rahi and Moammar Rana. By 2000, many Punjabi films began to appear due to increased demand for Punjabi language films, which are popular in Punjab.

Why Pakistani Movies are Banned in India

India banned Pakistani movies in the wake of a terrorist attack on an Indian Army camp in Uri. The attack left 19 soldiers dead and was the deadliest attack on security forces in Kashmir in two decades.

India has blamed Pakistan for supporting the militants who staged the Uri attack and has demanded that Pakistan stop supporting such groups, which it denies.

Indians were enraged by the Uri attack and demanded a boycott of all things Pakistani, from films to sports matches to artists. Various Indian artists, including singers Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam, have also cancelled their performances in India.

India and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir, a Muslim-majority Himalayan region divided between them but claimed by both in its entirety.

The ban order did not specify which Pakistani actors were affected by it. But at least one Indian television channel said it would no longer air Pakistani content as a result of the ban decision.

How Pakistani Movies Make Money

Pakistan's films are often compared to the Bollywood films of their neighbour and rival, India.

In the past few years, Pakistan's film industry has been growing slowly. From 2001-2007, there were just one or two releases per year. In 2008, there were 10.

The industry has a long way to go before it can compete with Bollywood, which churns out hundreds of movies each year and earns more than $2 billion each year in ticket sales alone — and this is not even counting the vast sums made from satellite rights and music sales.

So where does Pakistan's film industry make its money?

In most countries with strong film industry, box office takings are the biggest source of income. But in Pakistan, they are the smallest source of money for the industry, according to filmmakers.

Ticket Sales - The ticket sales for films had gone down considerably over the years from the mid-80s till the early 2000s.

However, films such as Khuda Kay Liye and Bol brought people back to cinemas with a 20% increase in ticket sales after the release of Khuda Kay Liye and a 50% increase in ticket sales after the release of Bol.

Films such as Waar, JPNA and Jawani Phir Nahi Aani were record-breaking films of their time in terms of ticket sales.

Overseas Market - The overseas market was traditionally dominated by Indian films but Pakistani films are slowly making their way into this market.

Khuda Kay Liye was released in India, UK and US along with other territories but Waar became the first-ever Pakistani film to be released in all major territories including China, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand.
