What happens
Mandi (transl. Market) is a 1956 Pakistani film directed by Aziz Ahmed. It was based on a short story by Ghulam Abbas. The film features Khurshid in her second film in Pakistan and her final film appearance overall, after which she quit acting. It also stars Ayaz and Nighat Sultana. Khurshid also sang all songs of the film in the music composition of Rafiq Ghaznavi. It was also the last film of Ghaznavi as he shifted to Radio Pakistan after the film's box office failure. Mandi was commercially unsuccessful. It is among the earliest Karachi-based films. The production of the film started in the Eastern Studio of Karachi, but later on due to unavailability of the technical facilities it shifted to Shahnoor Studios of Lahore.
