Pakistan started banning films since 1962, with restrictions tightened in 1979 when Muhammad Zia ul-Haq implemented an Islamization agenda and an even stricter censorship code. A ban on Indian films and media (which was not always strictly enforced) was lifted in 2008, with the compromise that cinemas in Pakistan must equally share screening time between Indian and Pakistani films. They banned not only Indian movies but their own Lollywood's pictures too.
