Shahpara
Shahpara was renowned Iranian actress who was invited by producer Mohsin Shirazi (later a popular host of TV chat shows) to work in his production Jaan Pehchan (1967). It was shot under the direction of Fareed Ahmed on locations that were never seen before in Pakistani movies. The Khewra salt mines in the rugged and ...
Rahman
In an era ruled by Waheed Murad, Mohammad Ali and later Nadeem, Rahman was the only Bengali actor-director to rule the box office with his romantic-musical films in the former West Pakistan film industry. Born Abdur Rahman on February 27, 1937, in erstwhile East Pakistan, Rahman made his film debut in Ehtesham’s Bengali film, Ae ...
Pervez Malik
It began in those days when the Pakistani nation had newly earned its freedom — and that included the freedom to dream, which is something which we seem to be forfeiting voluntarily these days. Pervez was nine years old when Pakistan was born. His family had a background in military service, but he got influenced ...
Nisho
Nisho made quite a sensation when she first made her appearance on the big screen in the early 70′s with Baazi. At first people thought she would occupy the slot left by Shamim Ara, which is to say the traditional mashriqui aurat. And that would have been rather quite predictable with her coy mannerism, complete ...
Nabeela
Nabeela was popular supporting actress of Pakistani cinema, mostly active in 60s and 70s. She is best remembered for her powerful performance as Tangawallah‘s wife in Badnaam (1966), a film based on Saadat Hassan Manto’s short story Jhumke. The film depicted the tragedy in the life of an upright Tangawallah (Allauddin) who refuses to be ...
Mumtaz
Mumtaz’s first cinematic appearance wasn’t in a film role, but during two intermittent song interludes in M. Usman’s 1973 Urdu film Farz where she wiggled her voluptuous yet constrained figure. This body kineticism gave way to another outstanding song sequence in Haider Chaudry’s Punjabi film Ziddi with Yusuf Khan, Zamarrud and Firdous. The song, based ...
Luqman
Luqman was one of the major directors from the early years of Pakistani cinema. Luqman’s passion for films was so great that he ran off to Bombay to go into movies. He was hired there as a painter, then worked as a bit player, clapper boy, director’s assistant and, finally, a director of note, both ...
Komal
Delicate and arty, Komal was what you could call a very unusual film actress of our cinema. Despite her facial and style resemblances with Shamim Ara, she had nothing in common with the famous actress. In fact, if you look at Resham today, she reminds you strongly of the most bubbly, but very choosy actress ...
Charlie
‘Palat Tera dhyan kidhar hai” – it was a typical honk of the champion comic of the pre-Partition Indian cinema. Noor Mohammad Charlie made a great splash in the sea of the Indian cine kingdom, when he entered the foray with his own zany jokes and word variations, apart from his pet phrases and lingual ...
Chakori
Dusky damsel, Chakori could be called one of the most popular female artists of the mid 1980’s. With her earthy appeal and that saucily aggressive style of acting, the doe-eyed Chakori was actually the first film actress in the Punjabi films to challenge Anjuman. It was a time when Aasiya, Naghma, and Aaliya were leaving ...
