Pakistan mein film sazi ka aaghaz qiyam-e-Pakistan ke foran baad hua. Lahore is sanat ka markaz bana, aur isi wajah se ise "Lollywood" kaha jane laga. Karachi mein bhi Urdu filmon ki apni sanat parwan chadhi.
Saath aur satter ki dahaiyan is sanat ka sab se numayan daur samjhi jati hain. Us daur mein saal bhar mein kaafi tadaad mein filmein banti thin aur cinema ghar awam ki bari tafreeh thay.
Baad ke barson mein cinema ghar kam hote gaye. Iski kai wajuhat batai jati hain: VCR aur ghar par film dekhne ka rujhan, sarmaya kari ki kami, aur mulk ke halaat. Bahut se purane cinema ghar band ho gaye ya doosre karobar mein tabdeel ho gaye.
Pichli dahaiyon mein nayi film sazi ne dobara zor pakra hai. Multiplex cinema ghar khule, naye film saaz aaye, aur TV drama ki kamyabi ne bhi is sanat ko sahara diya.
