Habib
Starting from his 1956 film debut in director Luqman’s Lakht-e-Jigar, opposite Yasmeen, (with Noor Jehan and Santosh in the lead roles), right up to his declining popularity in Urdu films around 1966, (due to the soaring careers of Mohammad Ali and Waheed Murad), Habib himself was considered honestly hunky hero, who women didn’t mind cuddling ...
Nimmi
Wonderfully fresh and vibrant, Nimmi was a typical Pakhtoon beauty to hit the Lollywood screen of the 1970s. She made a quick impact on the film industry, she stunned the populace with her good performances. But, her tragedy was that she was found out, too late by directors like Parvez Malik and Aslam Dar. It ...
Sultan Rahi
The late documentary film maker Mushtaq Guzdar in his chronicle on Pakistan cinema noted that the cinema of Pakistan claimed distinction for itself with three factors: the number of songs Madame Noorjehan contributed; the number of stories writer Nasir Adeeb was credited with; and the number of films Sultan Rahi acted in. During his 28 ...
Shahid
His career spanned a mere decade, from 1973-1983. But female hearts fluttered aplenty during those ten eventful years! Shahid was the Don Juan of the Pakistani film industry during the 1970s. Like the quintessential star of that era, his off camera antics were almost as interesting as his reel life. He married four times. Three ...
Nighat Sultana
Characters that are born on the celluloid breathe amongst people. Otherwise, they die young! If you have watched Hasan Tariq’s classic, Neend, from 1959, you would have noticed a young prostitute in the scenes from the coalminer’s colony, who sings merrily along the littered streets, to the refrains of the famous song by Rasheed Attre, ...
Nasima Khan
The dreamy vision of the 1950s and the 1960s was something that truly inspired artistes to venture forth into the fold. They came from all walks of life, not just the bazaar, as is the case today. Nayyar Sultana, Jamila Razzaq, Shamim Bano and Najma all belonged to the middle-class and upper middle-class, respectable families; ...
Mahpara
Flamboyant girls in printed fabrics have been more than a few in every industry. And Lollywood has had its share of them, too. Amongst those, Mahpara was a prominent addition in the mid- ‘60s, who was a dusky damsel of delightful proportion! Mahapara was fortunate to enter the foray during the golden period of Lollywood, ...
Meena Chaudhary
Song and dance is the part and parcel of cinema. All pretty young things come to the industry with the wish to, sooner or later, do the lead role in the films. So was the case with Meena Chaudhary, a sweet starlet with a fondness for pirouettes. When she walked into the iron gates of ...
Emmy Minwalla
Emmy Minwalla was one of the first non-muslim actresses to make her presence felt in Pakistani film industry. Belonging to Zoroastrian faith, she was introduced as a dancer in M.J. Rana’s Sohni (1955). Her dances were considered as the necessary ingredients of many Pakistani Films. Her best performances as a dancer were in Baji (1963), Dosheeza ...
Rozina
Rozina’s very name illicit strange ambiguity. Was the name and career posited for top heroine doom; supporting role mediocrity; vamp role status; western slapstick side parts; or eastern demureness? Actually Rozina’s movie career encompassed all of these cinematic spheres but never reached any great heights per se. Her screen persona was all bubbles and effervescence ...
