Lollywood is the name given to Pakistan's film industry, based in the city of Lahore. The Pakistani film industry is one of the top 10 largest film industries in the world. Although it is not as large or well-known as Bollywood, India's film industry, Lollywood produces a significant number of films each year and has a passionate following both within Pakistan and internationally.
Lollywood in Swedish Cinemas
Pakistan Information and Cultural Society has been promoting Pakistani culture as well as Pakistani cinema in Sweden. Having screened more than 50 Pakistani films in Sweden, Pakistan Information and Cultural Society has played an important role in introducing Pakistani films to mainstream cinemas in Sweden.
The first Pakistani film 'London Nahi Jaunga' was screened at the Swedish Cinema Filmstaden this summer. But the Pakistani film Maula Jatt set a record in Sweden as well as worldwide.
The increasing popularity of Pakistani films internationally is also playing a role in the industry's growth. In recent years, there have been a number of Pakistani films that have been very successful at international film festivals. This success has led to increased interest from both audiences and investors alike.
