Decision to locate the IMAX theatre

Entries may be a little edited for clarity or brevity. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of PakPositive.

The decision to locate the IMAX theatre, in the “Doongi Ground” near the Mini Market in Lahore, is a bad one. This ground was the only one in the area for children to play. Commercialising it speaks poorly of the regard the authorities have for the needs of the residents of the area.

The IMAX theatre is otherwise a good place to spend an hour. However, we are unlikely to witness anything regarding Pakistan and our history since most of the films are likely to be western. So you can see the “Alamo” story on it but not the Battle of Panipat. It would be wonderful if we could.
