this is a very happy occasion that after about 40-45 years a pakistani film is being officially released in India. the filmmakers here in Indian film industry, the audiences, everybody is happy. the pakistan film khuda ke liye (in the name of god) was released in India on friday.  the film weaves together three stories of a pop singer who comes under the influence of Islamic extremists, a briton of pakistani origin who is forcibly married to her cousin and a man illegally detained in the u.s. after the 9/11 attacks. the film features indian actor naseeruddin Shah in a cameo as a muslim scholar clarifying the tenets of islam during a court case. pakistan's film industry has been starved of a natural audience in India due to political differences and the dominance of bollywood. but the success of khuda ke liye' since its release in pakistan in July last year may be a sign that pakistani cinema is finally coming of age. - Bittu Sharma
