Akbar Khan has released his movie "Tajmahal" in Pakistan. About 40 years after, an Indian movie is being shown in Pakistan. The movie "Mughal-e-Azam" will be released in Pakistan next June.

But why not in Bangladesh? Indian movies were banned in Pakistan after the 1965 war. Now the Indian directors should release movies not only in Pakistan but also in Bangladesh. We would like to let them know that there is a huge audience of Bollywood movies in Bangladesh.

At the moment we can watch such movies only on television channels which are no match for the big screen.
