    The thing I remember about this movie was that India got mad one of the fictional aliens from this movie decided to land in Pakistan instead of India.

    The other thing I remember was that they for some reason decided to show the location on the map as “Punjab, Pakistan” which is even more generic because it’s a province not a city.

      I could see India being upset over that because it’s disputed territory. Edit: This is incorrect, Kashmir is the disputed territory.

        No that’s Kashmir.

        Punjab is technically a region that also happens to be the name of the province in both Pakistan and India since they both encompass the same region.

          Thanks, that second fact is what threw me off! So they could have said either and it should not have been seen as a political statement either way (which is how I saw India being upset over it.)
