Not to be clairvoyant here ..

but I would think that if FK (or for that matter other pak MOVIES even) - have a certain fan following in india - they may wind up appearing on Zee Zindagi channel EVENTUALLY (i.e. after they have released on DVD in Pakistan etc.).

It just seems like the natural thing for Zindagi to air pak movies as well - esp. if they are neutral. I don't think "Waar" would be considered that (although they could phrase it appropriately - by airing it on "Controversial Saturdays" or some such thing i.e. airing movies which are clearly marked as being "controversial" or something on a particular day or something). "Waar" is not exactly anti-indian - but there is a hint given that the criminal (who is muslim also oddly enough - perhaps to blunt the anti-india thing) is working for some indian agent under direction of some type of indian intelligence outfit. The idea essentially highlights the foreign involvement (of india) with "Pakistani Taliban" (TTP) - as opposed to highlighting the more domestic "takfiri" (i.e. religious hate) outfits operating in pakistan (usually saudi/wahhabi funding). Although I think if a movie was made NOW in pakistan - it would be more likely to implicate local outfits (funded by wahhabi money etc.) - since by now there is greater public willingness to talk about that channel of involvement.

EDIT: O21 (starring Shaan) could be EASILY aired in India without controversy - except the problem is it would be too much of a burden to inflict on indian audiences :-) As I posted in a review of that elsewhere here - the O21 film is a mighty bore - which could be improved 4-5 times if given in hands of a skilled editor (perhaps).
