indian cinema dominating pakistani cinema

The local film industry of pakistan is being dominated by indian cinema because of the provision by the government to allow indian movies to be allowed in pakistani cinemas.Since the inception of this order the indian movies have undoubtedly dominated pakistani movies,the condition of film industry is already presenting a gloomy picture,we think this will add more to the wounds.WE are destroying our culture,becasue movies reflect the culture that exists in our society and with the hegemony of indian movies we are creating a peculiar amalgam of mixed cultures shown by our cinemas.This realy is some thing which needs to be discussed and proper steps should be taked to save our industry.
