Lahoris to have Hollywood, Bollywood film feast for Eid
August 29th, 2009 - 5:04 pm ICT by ANIIslamabad, August 29 (ANI): Cinemas across Punjab, Pakistan, are set to screen Indian and American movies on the upcoming occasion of Eid after local films were said to have failed to attract the audience.
Lollywood will reportedly come out with just three films while most of the cinemas in the country would offer three new Bollywood and two Hollywood films.
The cinema-owners and distributors held negligible and poor quality local production responsible for their turn to foreign movies, reports The Nation.
Nadeem Mandviwalla, renowned film promoter and director DHA Cinema, confirmed the DHA Cinema would run ‘G I Joe’, ‘Wanted’ and ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’ on the festive occasion.
But apparently, not all hope was said to be lost with few cinemas looking to present a local Punjabi film ‘Nach K Yaar Manana’ directed by Masood Butt. (ANI)
