Film ban - the view from Pakistan

We've talked a lot on this show about the disputed region of Kashmir but in the last few months as the tensions have increased they have started to affect a new aspect of everyday life in both India and Pakistan - with boycotts in the film industry.

Here on the Big Debate we've asked whether Bollywood filmmakers were right to give in to pressure from political parties to ban Pakistani actors being in their films - after the uproar of Fawad Khan starring in Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. So India bans actors from Pakistan. Pakistan retaliates by banning Bollywood/Hindi films.

To gauge how this is all going down with cinemagoers we've got reports from both sides. Here's our impact reporter Shabnam Mahmood who is in Lahore.
