With the ban on Indian content throughout the country, a survey was carried out to see how many Pakistanis still watched Indian content, movies especially. And the results spoke for themselves as 79% Pakistanis claimed that they haven’t seen a single Indian movie in the past year despite the lockdowns and the pandemic where they had time to spare.
Nearly 4 in 5 Pakistanis say that they have not watched any Indian movies in the past year.

True!
Now Pakistani People are busy in watching Turkish Historical series. No time to watch Bollywood crap

People were loving the ban for once:
Nobody watches indian movies anymore. Even TV channels dont play indian content. It has been such a great ban.

People were proud of their fellow Pakistanis:
Not a surprise given that India has become so hostile that even things like cricket, movies, dramas, music, and arts are being used against Pakistan. I am really glad that Pakistanis are smarting up to the all round threat posed by the Indian state towards us.
Well done Pakistan!— Azm Aftab (@azmaftab) October 2, 2021
Never been more proud of my fellow Pakistanis https://t.co/4cBdUUax4s

👌
This is great. One good thing that has happened in recent past is that we have clearly gotten away from Indian movies & dramas. Happy riddance. Someone deserves credit for reversing Indian cultural invasion.

People wanted to take the number to a 100%:
Take this number to 100%, boycott Indian films, Drama & other products. @Arabic_PSF https://t.co/F6guRbz5H4

People were sharing how they hadn’t watched any Indian movies in years!
I have not watched an endian movie for past 12 years Alhamd O Lillah https://t.co/RdJmcUtKFy

Past year? I haven't watched any in 2 decades or so. Wish Pakistani movies and dramas become more authentic, reflect our culture, tell the stories of our heroes, inspire and educate youth. Movies can do that and more. https://t.co/m2jRNXmaJB

And they continue stealing our songs:
Only good thing about bollywood is their songs, a lot of those songs are stolen from Pakistani artists anyways. https://t.co/t7ReP4nTNz

People wanted the industry to make use of this opportunity:
In the meantime Pakistan Industry should had to make quality movies which they lacked to create. So, Many viewers now more focused on English movies. Right?

Exactly!
Who has time, with all the Ertugrul on which to catch up?

Yeh bhi hai:
Mostly because Bollywood is producing terrible movies for the last decade or so
— Zhukov (@thekingIsaac2) October 1, 2021
And while some were appreciating the stats, others shared how they citizens hadn’t even seen a single Pakistani movie during the past year:
They have also not watched any Pakistani movies in the last year. https://t.co/NZgX6D9yuK
— Abdullah Shahid (@chadullah) October 2, 2021
Makes sense:
Because no films were released except on OTT that isn't accessible to all. https://t.co/vtO2ofYL7e
