Pakistan Film History

Single English and Hindko movies were released in 1976 and 1980 respectively. 2 Gujarati movies were release as well.
All released Pakistani films are included in the tally despite the fact that some of films only were released in Sindh/Baluchistan or Punjab/NWFP circuits.
All Bengali films released during the periode of united Pakistan (before seperation of Bengladesh from Pakistan) are included under "Bengali" films. But Urdu films made in Dacca (Dhaka, Bangladesh) are included in "Urdu" films tally.
Pakistani film production centre is now only the second largest city in the country - Lahore (therefore Pakistani films are also called "Lollywood") but in the golden era in the 60's and 70's, Karachi and Dakha produced some remarkable films as well
