What happens
Neela Parbat (Urdu: نیلا پربت, lit. 'Blue Mountain') is a 1969 Pakistani Urdu film produced and co-directed by Ahmad Bashir as his only film. The story of the film was written by renowned Urdu author Mumtaz Mufti, who was inspired by Freud's theory. The lead cast included Mohammad Ali, Talish, Husna, Sofia Bano, Komal and Panna. Neela Parbat is the first non-horror film of the Pakistani cinema which was given an Adult certificate, and also among the pioneer films that were inspired by the Italian Neorealism. The film had music composed by Piarang Qadir and Akhtar Hussain and features classical numbers by several singers. Famous Urdu poets Hafeez Jalandhari and Ibn-e-Insha were among the lyricists. The film became a box office disaster due to its mature theme and distinctive style of body language. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
