A movie revival in Pakistan?

It is a truth widely acknowledged that the once-thriving Pakistani film industry is now dead. The reasons behind this slow demise include the introduction of VCR, cable television, market competition from Bollywood and finally the Islamization of General Zia. The industry, which once boasted more than 700 cinemas, now has just over 100. The number of films produced in Pakistan per year has declined from 200 to under 25.
