What happens

Yeh Aman is a 1971 Pakistani film directed by Riaz Shahid, who also wrote the screenplay. The film is produced by his wife and actress Neelo. The film stars Nisho, Sangeeta, Adeeb, Jameel and Allauddin. The plot revolves around the Kashmir conflict and highlights the brutalities of Indian armed force on Kashmiris. The music was composed by A. Hameed with lyrics by Habib Jalib. The film was censored, considering it as an anti-state film. Due to several cuts in the films, it failed to portray the director's vision, and was met with mixed critical reception. It was released 20 November 1971, days before Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, and could not perform well at the box office. After the film was censored, Shahid contracted cancer shortly after, and died next year of the film's release. Thus, it marked his last film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
