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 ...
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 ...
Bindiya
This sultry beauty was different from her showbiz peers in that before her entry into the serious business of Lollywood, she proved her burgeoning acting mettle on the Lahore commercial stage. Even early on, before she calculatedly worked herself into films, Bindiya’s style was peppered with a nonchalant seduction, something that could have been manufactured ...
Badar Munir
He was a pillar of strength for Pashto film-makers and audiences, a legend in Urdu cinema and an actor who never denied his humble beginnings. And on October 11, 2008, Badar Munir died after suffering a cardiac arrest in Lahore, leaving a vacuum that may never be filled. Be it Pashto films, Urdu flicks or ...
Nasreen
Nasreen (not to be confused with Salma Agha’s mother Nasreen aka Zarina Agha) was introduced by Anwar Kamal Pasha as Sudhir’s sister in Gumnaam (1954). She played the lead in Shohrat (1957) – directed by Nazir Ajmeri it was based on social theme but did not appeal to filmgoers. Therefore, Nasreen was left with the ...
Cham Cham
A lively industry is testified by the presence of all sorts of artists in the midst of a thriving environment. From the early fifties to the end of the 1970’s, that was the exactly the case. Apart from hero and heroines, the character actors and actresses, the technicians and the other people connected with the ...
