Film industry of Pakistan is called Lollywood. After the separation of Pakistan from Indo-Pak Subcontinent, Pakistan established their own entertainment industry as 'LOLLYWOOD'. Lollywood produce Films in Urdu and Punjabi (languages common in Pakistan and India). However there are some dialogues in English language as well.
