About Neelofar
Set in the quaint lanes of Lahore, the film tells a gentle, old-school love story between Mansoor Ali Khan (Fawad Khan), a world-famous writer, and Neelofar (Mahira Khan), a visually impaired young woman who experiences life through her remaining senses.
Critics describe Neelofar as a “slow-burn romance with analogue intimacy”, a film that focuses on feelings, literature, silence, and connection, rather than commercial tropes or item songs.
Alongside Mahira and Fawad, the film also stars Madiha Imam and veteran actor Behroze Sabzwari.
Neelofar is written and directed by Ammar Rasool and co-produced by Fawad Khan.
