There is always a soft corner for Pakistan from Zee.
First, They added pakistani channels on their DTH and now added shows to their app.
It gives them a good revenue from Pakistan. But still personally, I don't like this type of business strategy from Zee.

Given that Pakistan has banned all Indian content in Pakistan (on television and in theaters), I don't see the need to allow their content in India, unless there is a reciprocal measure. However, from a pure artistic standpoint, Indians could learn a lot from international series. Personally, I love South Korean dramas (popularly known as K-dramas) and Japanese anime films from Studio Ghibli.

Indian soap operas are the sever quality level. Pakistani soap operas of slightly older time period are much better in comparison to Indian saas-bahu rubbish.

Anyway, I don't promote any sort of "ban" among both countries as content sharing helps both countries but India do needs to re-visit where it going with it's soap operas and movies. I remember we had so many good serials on a channel called "Star One" including Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and other good shows on Sony such as "Office Office".

Even bollywood produced great comedies at that time. All is now in the drain.

Even MX player and Eros now have Pakistani shows and way more than what zee5 has currently.
