Renowned entertainment industry director and producer Wajahat Rauf wants to watch Indian films on Pakistani screens.
Wajahat Rauf said, “I watched the movie Stree 2 in London, and the cinema was full.”
He wrote, “The audience laughed at the dialogue.”
He also praised the film’s hero, Rajkummar Rao, actress Shraddha Kapoor, and the other actors in the cast.
He concluded by saying, “I miss watching Indian films in Pakistani cinemas.”
Everything was fine and handy dandy on the internet when suddenly fire started spewing on the bird app that the upcoming film ‘Barbie’ is banned in Pakistan
This has to be a joke pulled by the Oppenheimer marketing team, because when it comes to Barbie and the sacred Greta Gerwig, our claws are out.
Since our occupation is journalism, we got out our pink notebooks and glittery pen, and investigated this nonsense rumor to tell you guys that there is no such thing happenening. From the major cinemas we have spoken to in Lahore and Karachi, we can confidently say Barbie is not banned in Pakistan.
In Lahore, here are some of the places where it is confirmed that the film will release on July 21:
Xinhua Mall
Emporium Mall
Cue Cinema
Chalo Cinema at Fortress Stadium is only showing Oppenheimer. When we spoke to an employee of the organisation, they said that there was no current confirmation about whether or not Barbie will be playing in their theatre.
Whereas in Karachi, we had reached out to Nueplex Cinemas where although Barbie and Oppenheimer are grouped under the category of movies coming soon, but two employees at the cinema said that currently there was no confirmation about whether the movie will play in their cinema or not. Fans of the film can call them three days before the release to confirm.
But there you have it folks. This Barbie has proven that the film was not banned in Pakistan.
