How accurate is the depiction of Pakistanis in Indian movies?

A lot of movies have been made on India-Pakistan relations. Most of these are war-centric which depict Pakistan as the aggressor which eventually is defeated and pays up for its folly. So, is the depiction of Pakistan in Bollywood movies near to reality?

This question assumes significance for the fact that many movies are made every year with a focus on India-Pakistan relations. The truth is that Indian film Industry depicts Pakistan the way it is. That country is a failed state and democracy exists in Pakistan only on paper. The idea of hatred on which generations of Pakistani people have been fed and grown reflects in the movies which are made by Bollywood.


In fact, movies with a human angle such as Bajrangi Bhaijan also depict a realistic look, the way Pakistani people and police forces sees Indians. While the general public in Pakistan might not have a feeling of hatred towards Indians, it is true that these very people turn aggressive when the issue of Kashmir is raised.

These facts have been beautifully and creatively depicted in different movies which have been made on India-Pakistan issues, be it the problem prevailing in Kashmir or the general moral support which government and people of Pakistan offer to terrorists.

In fact, the movies made by Bollywood on the issue of  Pakistan give a fair idea to the world at large of the real face of this terrorist nation.
