It will take a big commitment to bring Turkish cinema to Pakistan as not many understand turkish. Films geared towards children, or those with less significant dialogue might have a better chance.

See the original Korean film " 7 beonbangui Seonmul" of 2013, which got several awards. Remake can never beat the original.
