THE revival of the Pakistani cinema has brought a cultural issue to the fore. Most movies made these days do not represent our beautiful heritage but instead they are more tailored towards the Bollywood style.
The recent examples are Yeh Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 and Na Maloom Afraad 2. The portrayal of lifestyle, dress and language, does not match Pakistani culture.
Films represent one’s country internationally. Therefore, rather than copy Bollywood, the filmmakers should focus on representing our country and its culture.
The major thing to focus on is songs (item number) in the movies to increase the number of audience. This does not depict our true culture and society.

Let Govt.take over and do anything with the culture aspect of the movie industry. But as long as it remains business and industry and investors are expected to invest money and get a return of their investment unless the loss is guaranteed it will continue to evolve.
