Films (Indian and Pakistani)

The latest indian films released in Pakistan are Aa Dekhain Zara and Ek- the power of one.
The showing of Indian films is a good idea to provide good entertainment to Pakistani people, but the question is that are we giving competetion to the Pakistani film industry or Are we trying to finish it. 
Pakistan with limited resources have made good films like Khuda key Liye, Ramchand Pakistani and also a horror film Hell's ground(Zibakhana). Pakistan has obselete equipments to make films but films like these proves that we have a good potential to provide good entertainment to the people then what are the reasons that we are not able to make good films. I can think of the following reasons
The audience has shifted from Pakistani films to Indian films and with the release of indian films in Pakistan, even the good films are not able to attract audience.
The indian films have big celebrities like Shahrukh Khan whereas shan and moammar rana are unable to attract enough audience so we need new artists in the industry.
People in the current industry do not have any vision and colloboration, they are just working on their own and for their own.
They do not have enough resources and good equipments. Film producers have to go to India even to dub their films.
The thing that we do not notice is that India had already an excellent film industry establised in 1947 where Pakistan has to make its own industry. India just took the industry forward that they already had.
There is no  doubt that Pakistan has a great talent and potential to make good films but we need to polish that talent there are no proper film institutes in Pakistan like they have in India. Indian students in their universities are asked to watch acting of Talat Hussain(the great Pakistani legend) and some other Pakistani actors to learn acting. Therefore, if there are proper film institutes people will be encouraged to join them and make the film industry go ahead
Afterall, we are also tired of watching films like Buddha Gujar and Wehshi Haseena.
