It has been almost 4 decades since a Pakistani movie has released in India. Khuda Ke Liye broke this fast when it got released in India this Friday.
Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor's debut venture, the film has been released in more than a hundred cinemas in 20 cities across the country.
The film stars Pakistani actor Shan and model Imam Ali along with a special appearance by Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah who has played the role of a Muslim cleric.
The internationally-acclaimed film deals with the story of two pop musician brothers in Lahore. One comes under the influence of fundamentalists, while the other brother goes to the US, where he is held by the police due to his Muslim name.
Following the 1965 war, Pakistan outlawed all Indian films from being screened there and that was followed by a similar ban in India. Recently, two Indian blockbusters -- Aamir Khan's "Tare Zameen Par" and Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif starrer "Welcome" -- were released in Pakistan.
Film-maker's in India termed the release of "Khuda Ke Liye" in India as a "historic occasion".
Stay tuned for more updates!!!
