Lollywood refers to Pakistani cinema based in Lahore, which was formerly the center of the production of films in both Punjabi and Urdu languages. Since the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, Lahore has been the center of Pakistani cinema.
However, over 10,000 Urdu feature films have been produced in Pakistan since 1948, along with over 8,000 Punjabi, 6,000 Pashto, and 2,000 Sindhi feature films. After the center of Urdu films shifted to Karachi in 2007, Lahore’s film industry became synonymous with the Pakistani Punjabi film industry.
