The chronicle of Pakistani films 1948-2009


















 

Here are some analysis on released films in nine different languages with some milestones in the red colors. You can click on any year in the first column of this table to access to your desired FilmHistory page. You can also click on any language title and read more on Pakistani languages on my other site Mazhar Iqbal's Pakistan. 









Please note that:
  1. Single English and Hindko movies were released in 1976 and 1980 respectively. 2 Gujarati movies were release as well.
  2. All released Pakistani films are included in the tally despite the fact that some of films only were released in Sindh/Baluchistan or Punjab/NWFP circuits.
  3. All Bengali films released during the periode of united Pakistan (before seperation of Bengladesh from Pakistan) are included under "Bengali" films. But Urdu films made in Dacca (Dhaka, Bangladesh) are included in "Urdu" films tally. 
  4. Pakistani film production centre is now only the second largest city in the country - Lahore (therefore Pakistani films are also called "Lollywood") but in the golden era in the 60's and 70's, Karachi and Dakha produced some remarkable films as well.
