Lollywood is an incredible Pakistan movie district in Lahore, one of the most important cities of the country and capital of Punjab region. To be correct, we should say “it was” a movie district. For a long time nothing has been produced or almost nothing reaches the western coast nowadays.

And it’s really a pity watching its decline as its glorious history began in 1929 when the territory was still Indian. It soon became the basis of the great actor and Pakistan director

Abdur Rashid Kardar; this creative centre has never lost its energy even after the separation from India and its two twin districts (Bombay and Calcutta) it cooperated with contributing to the creation of that extraordinary phenomenon we simply call Bollywood.

Until a few years ago it was almost impossible to understand where the movie came from except for the language, Urdu for Lollywwod and Indi for Bollywood. In the last years the political and social events of those countries have come to an end with the international movie world that until that moment had produced great projects, sometimes even undertitled in English and other languages thus making their formats closer to the big public. As for Bollywood, even in Lollywood the main tracks got much more success than the movies themselves and they remained one of the most important factor for the success and quality of the production. There were good actors and professionals, different reviews and websites followed their stories with a huge number of readers. Since a year everything shut down, and without being polemic, we would like to complain for the loss of such an original, wonderful and undervalued heritage.
