What happens

Naila is a 1965 Pakistani musical romance drama film, directed by Sharif Nayyar, who also wrote the screenplay. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Razia Butt. It stars Shamim Ara in the title role with Santosh Kumar and Darpan in substantial roles. The film revolves around Naila who finds herself caught in a heartbreaking love triangle. Naila was released on 29 October 1965, and was commercially successful with a record theatrical run in Peshawar. The music of the film was composed by Inayat Hussain. It became popular due to the gahzal "Gham-e-dil ko, in ankhon se, chhalak jana bhi aata hai", performed by Mala. The film was also screened at the Lok Virsa Museum of Pakistan in 2016. Naila is often cited as the first full-length colour film of the then West Pakistan, however Ek Dil Do Diwane, released an year earlier, was the actual first full-length colour film made in the West Pakistan.
