Pakistan’s ‘Maula Jatt’ China Release Tests Whether Strategic Ties Can Become Cultural Ties
The Diplomat reports that Pakistan’s biggest modern film, “The Legend of Maula Jatt,” will release in China on May 21, marking a rare Pakistani entry into China’s restricted foreign-film market. The film’s performance and the availability of follow-on titles or co-productions will determine whether this becomes a one-off gesture or a sustained cultural channel.
