Abstract
Movies are a major source of entertainment for viewers, but they
have also become an effective tool for furthering foreign policy
objectives of the countries. Pakistan and India are neighboring
countries having a long history of ups and downs in their bilateral
relations since they got independence in 1947. The movies being
produced on both sides of the border cannot stand aloof from
portraying nature of the relationship between the two neighbors.
The research focuses on how Bollywood, representing Indian film
industry, and Lollywood, representing Pakistani movies, portray
Pakistan-India relations. A content analysis of selected movies
from both sides in a chosen sample was conducted, which
explores that films are not very much neutral and always
showcase foreign policies of their respective countries.
