Dabangg banned from release in Pakistan

MUMBAI: The hype of Salman Khan’s Dabangg in India and Pakistan is at an astronomical height, but unlike their Indian brethren, Pakistanis would be bereft of watching the film on Eid, thanks to the Pakistani government’s decision to ban Indian films from exhibition in the country.

It may be interesting to note that the Pakistani government had recently increased the entertainment tax on Indian films from 35 to 65 per cent. As of now, most of the Indian television shows have also been banned from telecasting in the country.

Khan’s last film Wanted, when last screened in Pakistan, turned out to be a big hit.
