Punjabi cinema (Punjabi: œ€ ‡) is the Punjabi language film industry in the states of Punjab in India and Pakistan. While 20. century Punjabi cinema had great influence of Pakistani based Punjabi cinema, in the 21. century Punjabi cinema, due to its boom, has become synonymous with Indian Punjab.
The first Punjabi film was made in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and was released in Lahore, provincial capital of thePakistani Punjab. The Lahore film industry is known asLollywood, a portmanteau of the words Lahore andHollywood.
As of 2009, the Punjabi film industry has produced between 900 and 1,000 films.[citation needed] The average number of releases per year in the 1970s was nine; in the 1980s, eight; and in the 1990s, six. In 1995, the number of films released was 11; it plummeted to seven in 1996 and touched a low of five in 1997. Since the 2000s Punjabi cinema has seen a revival with more releases every year with bigger budgets, home grown stars, and Bollywood actors of Punjabi descent taking part.
K.D. Mehra made the first Punjabi "talkie" film, Sheila, also known as Pind Di Kudi in 1936.[1] YoungNoor Jehan was introduced as an actress and singer in this film. Sheila was made in the city ofCalcutta(now Kolkata ) and released in Lahore. It ran very successfully and was a hit across the province.[citation needed] Due to the success of this film more producers started making Punjabi films.[2]K.D. Mehra made his second film, Heer Sial (1938), with the assistance of M.M. Billoo Mehra. This film had Noor Jehan and new artists Balo and M. Ismail. This film was commercially successful.[3]
In 1947, India was divided into two parts, India and Pakistan. The Punjab region was split between the two nations. West Punjab became part of Pakistan and East Punjab became part of India. This affected Punjabi cinema because most Muslim artists and directors moved to Pakistan, and worked in Lollywood, while Sikhs and Hindus moved to Bombay.
In 2010, 16 movies were released. Mel Karade Rabba, starring Jimmy Shergill later broke all records and grossed 110 million nett and became the highest grossing Punjabi film ever.

It was a tremendous boost to the industry .In August 2012, the first ever Punjabi International film academy awards were organised in Toronto, Canada. This was a tremendous success. A host of Punabi stars attended and it was a tremendous achievement.
