India: Why aren't Pakistani movies released in India?
The sub-standard quality of the movies does not worth watching it.We have very strong movie culture, we skip not only Pakistan also Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar as well. Most of the brilliant artists from Pakistan moves their ground to India.Bangladesh is trying to collaborate with Bengali film industry of India to improve.Sri Lankan & Myanmar industry is smaller than Oriya & Bihar in terms of budget & quality.We would watch movies only with high quality and/or high budget which should be equal or higher than ours. Thats why we watch mostly English & Chinese movie rather than our sub-continent's.

Are there any countries in the world that don’t produce or release movies?
(UPDATED)No, that is just your misconception or weird thoughts that “Are there any countries in the world that don’t produce or release movies?” actually that would not possible in today’s world looking at the time we give and the resource to give to consume media and movies.From America’s Hollywood to India’s Indian film industry/Bollywood (other sub and semi film industries within) to British cinema to Nigerian cinema to China’s cinema to Korean (both North and South) cinema to Iranian cinema to Pakistan cinema to Bangladeshi cinema to Nepali cinema Trinidad cinema to Indonesian cinema to Australian cinema to Mongolia cinema to Greenland cinema to Afghanistan cinema, everybody make films and consumes it.And about Antarctica, I think i need to check that out that which i think will take a lot of time but films have been shot there and produced about it but looking at the range of people those live there it might be a hard to make films and releases there since it is not a place suitable enough for people to live forgetting about watching films and having places to release them.To get clear more about what you wanted to know you can go them following and study that.Film industry - WikipediaTop 10 Film Countries by Box Office3 Countries With Booming Movie Industries, That Are Not the U.S.8 Countries that Produce the Most Movies in the WorldIMDb: BEST MOVIES FROM ALL COUNTRIES - a list by StautisIMDb: CountriesAntarctica - WikipediaAntarctica Film & Photography Production Services.Antarctica film industry - Google zoekenList of Greenlandic films - WikipediaCinema of Mongolia - WikipediaCinema of Afghanistan - Wikipediaa
What do u think of people saying hollywood is bias in favor of jews/israel/israelis?
Its not that Im anti semitic( though I have a feeling the attacks will start) its just that so many actors/models/fashion designers that are jews/israeli get a ton of press even though their not all that. People say their is a conspiracy, I dont know about all that, but what is the reason for this? I feel like if Muslims get more into hollywood, they would then be accepted more by people, but their are only a few Muslims, a handful. Salam In all honesty I have nothing towards jews, its just that its not fair to those who want to gt in but are prejudiced against, i dont want to be an actor, its just that it doesnt seem fair.
In which countries is Bollywood more popular than Hollywood?
Indian films are popular in many countries around the world because of Indians staying there or people of Indian descent or South Asians staying in those countries. Also a lot of people, other than those mentioned above have also taken a liking to Indian movies.Traditional Overseas Markets for Indian films:Sri LankaPakistanBhutanNepalAfghanistanUnited KingdomUSACanadaUAEKuwaitOmanAustraliaRussia was a market for Indian movies a long time ago. Raj Kapoor and Nargis were superstars there. But that was till the fall of the Soviet Union. After the Hollywood captured the Russian movie market and India failed to hold any ground in that market.Shahrukh Khan and his movies are really popular in Germany.The Chinese film market is very protective of its own film, only some 34 foreign films are allowed to be released in China every year. It is Hollywood's second largest market after the United States. However Aamir Khan has developed quite a following due to big succcess of PK and 3 Idiots in China in recent times.Very few film industries are thriving in the world currently, most of them have been marginalised in their own countries due to the success of Hollywood.Europe produces amazing art house movies. But I do not remember the last big Commercial worldwide hit produced by Europe.The Indian and Chinese film industries are more popular in their respective home countries.
