What happens

Nooran (Punjabi: نوراں), also spelled Nooraan, is a 1957 Pakistani Punjabi-language musical romance film directed by M. A. Khan and starring Noor Jehan and Sudhir in lead roles. Hazeen Qadri wrote the film, songs lyrics and dialogues of the film. The film revolves around Nooran and Sohna Baloch who falls for each other first sight but their families are enemies of each other for many years.
