‘DHOOM 3’ TO RELEASE IN PAKISTAN

There was a ban on Bollywood films release in Pakistan, but now ‘Dhoom 3’ becomes the first film to release there after the ban.

An order was passed by the court that no Indian film will be censored or released in Pakistan. The order was issued in response to a petition filed by TV talk show host Mubashir Lucman. It was reportedly the consequence of a conflict among TV channels in Pakistan. The move was allegedly masterminded by one of the channels which did not get the telecast rights of several Bollywood films.
