Lahore had always been the centre of cinemas where people used to wait in lines to get a ticket. A PTV senior producer told newsmen that in the era of digitalization, the trend of going to the cinema had been waned, adding many cinema owners launched new businesses and converted their cinemas into petrol stations, showrooms, plazas, wedding halls and hostels. After revival of the film industry in Pakistan, people once again had started visiting cinemas in the past decade, he said, adding movies with good content, good actors, story and new technology had compelled viewers to visit cinemas.
