Kaabil hits cinemas as Indian film ban lifted in Pakistan

The film will hit Nueplex Cinemas today at 3:15pm

The long awaited, self-imposed ban on Bollywood films ended on Wednesday as Karachi's Atrium Cinemas screened Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil at 11pm.

Excited about the screening of his film, Hrithik took to Twitter, hoping the film would receive the same amount of love it did in India.

Meanwhile, the film will be screened at Nueplex Cinemas starting today at 3:15pm.





Produced by Rakesh Roshan, Kaabil is a love story of a blind couple, and was released in India on January 25.

On Wednesday, the information ministry and Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) have cleared Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil for screening in Pakistan.

The superhit romantic drama – which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Pakistani actor Fawad Khan – was issued an NOC sometime back and was submitted to the censor boards in the country, three months after being pulled into a political struggle between India and Pakistan. However, the censor boards of Karachi and Lahore are yet to issue an NOC.
