The power regulator on Monday changed contract terms for all existing and future net-metered solar consumers — known as prosumers — saying the move was needed to manage rising solar energy penetration and to protect an expensive, inefficient state-owned power network.

The eagerly awaited romantic drama Neelofar has been released in cinemas throughout Pakistan, marking the return of Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan on the big screen after several years.

Fans across the country can watch this iconic pair in a film that merges soulful storytelling with emotional depth, all wrapped in a visually stunning cinematic experience.

Now showing: Neelofar.

Written and directed by Ammar Rasool, the film tells the story of Mansoor Ali Khan, a respected novelist played by Fawad Khan, who comes back to Lahore and encounters Neelofar, played by Mahira Khan. Neelofar, although visually impaired, has an extraordinary emotional insight, which shapes the narrative by adding depth and reflection.

Producer credits include Fawad Khan, Usaf Shariq, and Hassan Khalid, with Zeeshan Waqas composing the film’s soulful soundtrack.

The ensemble cast features Behroze Sabzwari, Atiqa Odho, Sarwat Gilani, Madiha Imam, and Navid Shahzad, enriching the film with nuanced performances. According to the filmmakers, the story explores themes of perception, emotional connection and the invisible layers of human relationships, moving beyond the literal meaning of blindness. In one notable line, Neelofar hints that Mansoor may have approached her only because she could not see him, prompting deeper reflections on vulnerability and sincerity.

How audience is reacting

Audiences have responded strongly to the film’s release, particularly praising the chemistry between Mahira and Fawad, who last shared the screen in the popular television drama Humsafar. Social media platforms have been buzzing with posts describing the film as “moving,” “visually poetic,” and “worth watching for its emotional resonance.”

Viewers have also highlighted the thoughtful dialogues and the film’s musical elements, which complement its romantic and philosophical tone.

Ahead of the nationwide release, the film generated excitement due to its artistic trailer, which hinted at a love story that delves into deeper human emotions rather than relying on conventional tropes. It suggested an unconventional character in Mansoor, whose emotional rhythm sets him apart, and a heroine who perceives people through heart rather than appearance. This fresh character approach has helped Neelofar stand out from typical romance dramas.
