When the history of Pakistan’s film industry is compiled, the 1960s would be considered the most productive decade for films. The ’50s were the teething years for the industry while the ’70s were marred by the VCR invasion and action-based meaningless films.
The swinging ’60s saw many stars-in-the-waiting begin their career, who went on to rule filmdom for over two decades. Muhammad Ali, Waheed Murad, Nadeem, Zeba, Shabnam, Rani and many others all started out in the ‘sixties. However, the decade really belonged to one actress who could act and dance, had a captivating smile, could be termed a sex symbol and also had multiple hits to her credit. It was none other than Neelo.
