Neelofar is a Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan starrer Pakistani feature film that has recently been released in cinemas across Pakistan. It is produced by Fawad Khan and written and directed by Ammar Rasool. The film features a classic old-school romance between a blind girl, Neelofar, and a writer. The movie is receiving both positive and negative reviews, but many viewers are appreciating its nostalgic romantic vibe.
Recently, Fiza Ali also spoke about Neelofar on her show, criticizing Mahira Khan’s portrayal of a blind girl.
While talking to a blind person in her show, Fiza Ali said, “You are talking to me while your eyes are towards me, that means blind people can feel from where the voice is coming but why don’t we see the right portrayal of blind people in the movies like recently I saw the trailer of the movie Neelofar in which Fawad Khan was handing a pigeon to Mahira Khan. She was looking somewhere else instead of toward him. She is blind but can hear properly; at least there she could have faced the correct direction. To all the directors, please make sure to take the right performance from actors next time. Otherwise, cast people who are actually blind. A blind person is sitting next to me and he also thinks she should have looked in the right direction. You can go and watch the trailer.” Here is what Fiza Ali said in her morning show:
