Taj Mahal: From India, with love
Speaking at the premier, Sonia Jehan, the lead actress of Taj Mahal, said it was a dream come true. "I am a Pakistani who has arrived from India with a message of love," she added.
While a section of the Pakistan entertainment industry has argued that allowing Indian films to be screened will boost theatres as well as the entertainment industry, the government says this will adversely affect the local industry. There are also those concerned about the "negative influence" Indian films may have on Pakistan's cultural ethos.
Meanwhile, critics point out that the decision lacks merit, considering pirated VCDs of Indian films are freely available in Pakistan.
