(MORE) PTI MZ JCH AKJ JCH 07291419Ĭommenting on Pakistani movies released on Eid along with "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" Lashari said, "The two Pakistani films - 'Wrong No' and 'Bin Roye' – are also doing good business on the box office but they have no match to the 'BB'."Īttributing the revival of the Pakistani film industry to Indian films, he said that cinema here is surviving because of exhibition of Indian movies. He said the film, which also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, has entered into its second week and is doing tremendous business as there is no new Bollywood release. People from all walks of life and of all age groups are standing in queues to book their seats in cinema halls for it," Lashari told PTI. "There has been a phenomenal response from the public as over 80 cinemas of the country are jam-packed since Eid (July 18) to watch 'Bajrangi'.

I would love to watch this movie again and again as such a film is not made every day," she added. "The general public in both Pakistan and India is peace loving and that is why this movie is so widely appreciated here and must be out there (India) as well. She is happy with this change of mindset among Bollywood filmmakers. Some youngsters in Pakistan have watched the movie twice including Momina Rana, who thinks it is perhaps the first Indian film in which Pakistan is shown in positive light. In other movies, people come out talking loudly when the show ends but in the case of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' I hardly heard any chat," he said, adding that because of the emotional storyline people could relate to the film. "However, as the show ends most of them especially women come out with tears in their eyes. Raza, who works at the ticket counter, said people look very excited while buying tickets for "Bajrangi Bhaijaan". "I have been working in this cinema business for the last seven years but I never witnessed such a large number of people coming out of the cinema hall with tears in their eyes after every show of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'," says Shahram Raza of Cine Star Cinema in Lahore. Theatre owners claim to have witnessed record number of people leaving cinema halls misty-eyed after watching the movie, about a Bajrangbali (Hanuman) devotee Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi's (played by Salman) journey from India to escort a six-year-old mute Pakistani girl back to her village. The "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" fever has gripped audiences in Pakistan and thanks to the positive Indo-Pak message in the movie, the Salman Khan-starrer has received phenomenal response, with people thronging to watch the film even a week after its release.
