Irony of the situation is that even though people like them Hindi flicks are banned from the big screen in Pakistan as well as Bangladesh.

Government in both the countries is of strong view that there are some scene in the flicks that has full capacity to enter their Muslim culture, where female modesty is valued and blending of opposite sexes is still unthinkable.

Bollywood churns out numerous films in year which as compared to the local Cinema of these countries are more interesting, saucy, attention grabbing.

Since Bollywood flicks are ban in these countries and their own industry has nothing interesting to offer so, their traditional family local cinemas are deserted most of the times and viewers are busy watching Hindi flicks on their TV sets.

The situation is such that since local movie theatres are deserted now, they are being renewed into shopping malls both in Dhaka and Islamabad.

Why to blame Pakistani's or Bangladeshi's for this, Bollywood flicks are addiction world wide.
