Bollywood ordered to write reconciliation into the script (South China Morning Post, via AsiaMedia).
'Ordered' is a strong word since the film industries in India and Pakistan have voluntarily agreed not to promote movies "which promote hatred".
A previous entry covered this topic too.
The article has a interesting point in that the hits of the 70s and 80s rarely mentioned Pakistan. The first movie to use the 'foreign terrorists' theme was 'Karma'.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the villain in the new Shah Rukh Khan movie 'Main Hoon Na' is a guy who wants to stop the India-Pakistan friendship from going ahead. This is certainly a big change from the days of Dr. Dang (Karma).

now they are in a dilemma whether to release or what since the improving relations may be affected!
