"Federal government is pleased to continue the existing open policy to display all international movies (including Indian films) in Pakistani cinemas and is pleased to take the following decisions for revival of the Pakistani film industry," said the notification. The importers of Indian movies will also have to seek clearance from relevant censor boards through the existing official procedure. Earlier, ties between New Delhi and Islamabad came to an all-time low after Pakistani cinemas suspended the screening of Bollywood movies. The managements of Pakistani cinemas on September 30 announced indefinite suspension of screening of all Bollywood movies as a protest against the ban of Pakistani artists in India.
