Debut:
Madam Noorjahan returned to Pakistan and started her film career as actress, singer and film director with this hit musical Punjabi film. This film ran 18 weeks on Regent cinema Lahore which was allotted to Mr. & Mrs Rizvi (as they also got Shori/ShahNoor studio!).
Noorjahan's name was mentioned as director of the film but it was told that her husband Syed Shoukat Hussain Rizvi actually was the real director, but he felt shame to give his name as director to a Punjabi film. Ironically, all of his Urdu films as director in Pakistan were flopped.
