Did Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s movie ‘Nilufar’ live up to the expectations, the answer is not that simple because these are two big names who are superstars not only in Pakistan but also in South Asia, so what can stop the success of this movie.
But the most important role in the production of any film is that of the director whose vision is to transfer the story of the film from paper to screen. However, the director looked very weak in this film where he either tore many pages in transferring the story to the screen or wasted those moments in the editing machine even if he filmed them.
Nilofar (Mahira Khan) is a visually impaired girl, in whose dark life comes a man Mansoor Ali Khan (Fawad Khan) and she begins to feel complete. Mansoor Ali Khan is a writer whose writings have gained international fame.
This film has been filmed in only one city Lahore and an attempt has been made to show the beauty of different corners and windows of the city and in some places it looks good but in some places it also feels forced, like the scenes of the Shahi Fort of Lahore are not included in the film but are pushed.
Talking about acting, Mahira Khan has proved that she is not only a good actress but also an exceptional actress in the role of Nilofar. The way she portrayed herself in the role of a blind girl, the way she presented it, she has undoubtedly joined the ranks of great artists.
Acting is called the game of eyes, then a girl who is not visible, her walking, looking to the other side while talking, Mahira brought life to many scenes with the movements of her hands, especially the movement of her hands gave the color of reality to many scenes.
Mahira, as Nilufar delivers the dialogues in an innocent manner, speaking her own words, listening to others, meanwhile as Nilufar, Mahira’s style was very genuine and throughout the film where Mahira Khan appeared on screen, she did not let anyone stand in front of her.
On the other hand, this movie belongs to Mansoor Ali Khan or Fawad Khan, the story starts with him and ends with him.
Mansoor Ali Khan’s role in the film is like Fawad Khan’s cousin. His smile, his slightly sarcastic manner, his smiling mischievous eyes, and his habit of going crazy all the time, these are all characteristics of Fawad Khan. Those who know Fawad Khan, have met him, can tell. As the producer of this film is Fawad Khan, he may have been dominated by the producer more than his character at times.
Fawad Khan has tried his best to work with the natural charm of his personality and he has been successful in it, especially with Mahira Khan in every scene he has supported Mahira.
Wherever Mansoor Ali Khan comes, old things are seen, it is tried to show that he likes intake things but never openly says about it.
The attraction of watching Nilofar in the cinema was Mahira Fawad’s romance and that too, the chemistry between the two was good and wherever there was romance, it would definitely put a smile on the face of the viewers.

So this movie is a must watch for fans of Mahira and Fawad but they lack good songs in the movie, not a single song is on them, all the songs are playing in the background.
The music of the film is definitely worth mentioning. Zeeshan Haider’s ‘To Meri’ is a great song, it matches the attitude of the film, similarly ‘Socha Nahin’ is a simple romantic song full of sarcasm.
The story of the film was going relatively slow till the interlude, but after that, when a TV show tried to add conflict to the story, the story first falters, then falters and then falls flat on its head.
This TV show has done to ‘Nilufar’ what the morning show did in the movie ‘Zindagi Katni Hussain Hai’, or what the game show did in the movie ‘Load Wedding’ i.e. drowned the story. There was a need for a TV show somewhere in both of them, there was absolutely no point here.
The major problems of the film are incomplete story, incomplete characters and glaring mistakes of editing. The information is hidden in so many layers that it is difficult for the average viewer to understand. In many places, the connection felt broken and a couple of scenes came prematurely.
Technically the film is very weak, there are serious framing problems, some scenes are unnecessarily blurry and painfully clumsy.
Technically, the framing issues and unnecessary blurry scenes were painful. It feels like this movie has gone through the Kant sorting stage so many times that the element of disgust has prevailed over the creation.
Madiha Imam’s role was limited and wasted in a failed attempt to create a love triangle. The inclusion of Atiqa Odhu and Behroz Sabzwari was just a conscious attempt to remind the drama ‘Humsafar’.
The use of Hindi words like ‘ant’ and ‘shobha’ and grammatical errors (like ‘bola’ vs ‘kaha’) kept popping up in the dialogues.
Final Opinion Showing a ‘flashback’ of a blind girl questions the director’s logic. Overall writer and director Amar Rasool did not do justice to the two big superstars.
The film deserves three stars only because of Mahira Khan (whereas Mahira has five stars for herself).
