| ('Chand
aur chandni', director: Ehtesham, composer: Karim Shahabuddin, starring
Nadeem, Shabana. The film 'Quli'director,
Mustafeez, composer, Ali Husain, stars, Nadeem, Shabana, released in
former East Pakistan.
Dedicated artist and dashing
heartthrob of the film 'Fasana-e-dil', Nadeem incites the pride and
passion of Pakistan, both at home and abroad:
'Fasana-e-dil': Director, Zafar Shabab,
Nadeem, and Deeba.
'Daman ki Aag': Director, Zafar Shabab,
Nadeem, Deeba.
'Deewangi': Director, Zafar Shabab,
Nadeem, and Deeba.
Nadeem's fame knew no bounds and in
1968, he migrated to what was then West Pakistan, where the film
producers and directors had been impatiently waiting to cast him in
their movies.
Movies like 'Daagh' lend the agog
moviegoer believability.
('Daagh', director, Ehtesham, stars,
Nadeem, Shabana, released in 1969, in former East Pakistan)
Shabab Kiranvi's son, Zafar Shabab,
selected Nadeem for his movie, 'Sungdil', opposite Deeba and Rozina and
which undoubtedly appealed to the audiences.
'Sungdil' was also the debut movie for
Masood Akhtar, who played the role of a villain.
Both audiences and critics alike
equally cherish the film 'Anari'. ('Anari'1969, director, Mustafeez,
Nadeem, Shabana, released in former East Pakistan)
In 1974, while Nadeem was residing in
Pakistan, director Ehtesham, Nadeem's father-in-law, flew to Pakistan
from Bangladesh, to visit his son-in-law, daughter Farzana (Nadeem's
wife) and his grandson (Nadeem's son).
During his stay in Pakistan, Ehtesham
directed Nadeem's production, film 'Mitti kay putlay'.
In 1984, Nadeem went back to
Bangladesh to work in Ehtesham's movie, 'Basayra', opposite Shabana.
Nadeem, who is largely recognized as
an insignia of success, radiates pride in the choices he has made:
The film 'Shama' director, Nazar
Shabab (Zafar Shabab's brother), Stars, Nadeem, Deeba.
The film 'Badaltay mausum' director,
Nazar Shabab, stars, Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Khoobsoorat' director, Nazar
Shabab, stars, Nadeem, Shabnam.
His movies are usually watched with
the premise that good triumphs over bad.
Behind Nadeem's extraordinary
achievement is a remarkable inspiration of his mentor, Sohail Rana and
Ehtesham:
The film 'Mun ki jeet' director,
Shabab Kiranvi, Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Daman aur chingari'
director, Shabab Kiranvi, Nadeem, Zeba.
The film' Insaan aur farishta'
director, Shabab Kiranvi, Nadeem, Deeba.
The film 'Mohabbat aik kahani'
director, Shabab Kiranvi, Nadeem, Kavita.
The film 'Unmol Mohabbat' director,
Shabab Kiranvi, Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Lajawab' director, Shabab
Kiranvi, Nadeem, Babra Sharif.
The audience was still expanding and
the time had come in Nadeem's acting career when film buffs had to
concede: 'This guy had it all.'
Nadeem feels complacent by the fact
that his hard work affects millions of his fans the world over.
Here is a more fulsome tribute: Nadeem
have proved time and again that he is simply unchallenged.
Also, the mere fact that he has always
kept himself away from scandals relegates him to the greatest film
personalities of the Indo-Pak subcontinent.
S.Sulaiman directed following movies:
The film 'Society' Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Tera gham rahay salamat'
Nadeem, Nisho.
The film 'Intezaar' Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Miss hippi' Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Bhool' Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Gumrah' Nadeem, Nisho.
The film 'Anara' Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Zanjeer' Nadeem, Shabnam.
The film 'Prince' Nadeem, Babra.
Praise bestowed on Nadeem will
obviously go a long way to ameliorate the future cinema of Pakistan.
Nadeem definitely has a resolution and
an edge over most of the film actors of his time and his predecessors,
as well.
'By the grace of God, the movie career
has given me name, fame and money', he mused, with a gleam in his eye.
The film 'Ungaray' director, Fareed
Ahmed, stars, Nadeem, Shamim Ara.
The film 'Suhaag' director, Fareed
Ahmed, stars, Nadeem, Shamim Ara, Zia Mohyedin.
Being there for his co-workers, gives
him a phenomenal edge. As impressionable as ever, Nadeem is known to
stir interest in the genre among Pakistani youth.
Given here below are movies which were
directed by Mohammad Javed Fazil:
The film 'Saima' Nadeem, Babra,
Shabnam ('Saima' was the re-make of the film 'Salma')

Shabnam.

The film 'Bazar-e-Husn' Nadeem, Salma
Agha, Samina Peerzada.
The film 'Ustadoan kay ustaad.'
The film 'Aulad ki Qasam.'
Probably the experience that leaves
the deepest and most indelible impression comes from films like:
'Anila', directed by Raza Meer,
starring Nadeem, Deeba.
'Parayee Aag' directed by Raza Meer,
starring Nadeem, Shamim Ara.
'Unhoni' directed by Raza Meer,
starring Nadeem, Neeli.
Sobriety, co-operation and compassion
lingered and was very much part of his life. His fans take great delight
to applaud him on his long, fabulous career. As one admirer puts it:
'Nadeem creaves crowds, wherever he goes.
Mentioned here below are three movies
which were directed by M.A.Rasheed:
'Meri adalat' Nadeem, Sachoita, Nutan.
(Foreign artists)

directed by Hasan Tariq:
'Behan bhai' Nadeem, Deeba.
'Shama aur perwana' Nadeem, Shabnam.

The film 'Chiragh kahan roshni kahan'
is not only an instance of the creative minds of our film industry but
also an unabashed call to attract moviegoers from all walks of life. The
fans of Nadeem are a witness to the height of his artistry. Hence they
are hooked and they have been ever since:
The film 'Aansoo' directed by S.A.
Bukhari, starring Nadeem, Deeba, Firdous, Shahid. ('Aansoo' was the
first film of actor Shahid.)
The film 'Dou Aansoo' directed by
S.A.Bukhari, starring Nadeem, Shabnam, Deeba, and Nayyar Sultana.
Nadeem, the perennial favorite of
countless cine-goers will long be remembered for his graceful appearance
in the film 'Pehchaan.'

wonderful acting. ('Haar gaya insaan', director, S.M.Yusuf. Stars,
Nadeem, Mumtaz)
Nazaral Dada directed the following
nine movies:
'Ehsaas' Nadeem, Shabnam.
'Shararat' Nadeem, Shabnam.

won 12 Nigar awards and that record was broken by the mega hit movie, 'Chooriyaan')
'Bandish' Nadeem, Shabnam.
'Amber' Nadeem, Mumtaz.
'Aangan' Nadeem, Babra.
'Deewanay dou' Nadeem, Babra.
'Barood ki chaaon'Nadeem, Kavita.
'Aandhi' Nadeem, Shabana.
Lyrics in the film 'Ehsaas' are good
enough to be devoured, memorized and insinuated into daily conversation.
Iqbal Kaashmiri directed the following
five movies:
'Mukhra (punjabi film) Nadeem, Babra.
'Tees maar khan' Nadeem, Nadira.
'International luteray' Nadeem, Saima.
'Jo dar gaya wo mar gaya' Nadeem,
Atiqa Odho.
'Mummi' Nadeem, Atiqa Odho.
There are quite a number of films like
'Mukhra' which have been emblazoned in the mind of the fans.
His admirers not only regard him as an
indispensable figure of the Pakistani film industry but also as one of
the pillars of our social life, a delightful companion to the life of
the 21-century Pakistan and an endlessly fascinating personality in his
own right.
Syed Noor directed the following three
movies:
'Jeewa'
'Deewanay teray pyar kay'
'Dopatta jal raha hai'
Nadeem loses himself in his work and
he has always done justice to it. A quick example is the film 'Play
boy', which was directed by Shamim Ara, starring Nadeem, Babra.
We are indebted to his well-spent life
and to the assiduity with which he performed his role in innumerable
Pakistani movies.
Sangeeta directed the following seven
movies:
'Ishq Ishq' Nadeem, Kavita.
'Mutthi bhar chawal' Nadeem, Sangeeta,
Kavita.
'Mehendi lagi meray haath.' Nadeem,
Sangeeta, Kavita.
'Mehel meray sapno ka' Nadeem, Kavita.
'Mian bewe razi' Nadeem, Kavita.
'Thori see baywafai' Nadeem, Kavita.
'Taqat ka toofan' Nadeem, Salma Agha.
Nadeem had the rare honor to won the
maximum number of Nigar awards, eighteen altogether.
After bestowing the eighteenth Nigar
award to him, the Nigar award committee came to the conclusion that
Nadeem is peerless, that Nadeem's brilliant acting is above all awards.
Besides, to present an award to him is
to undermine his superfluous art.
Given here below is a list of Nadeem's
Nigar awards:
The film 'Chakori' 1966.
The film 'Ehsaas' 1972.
The film 'Anari' 1975.
The film 'Aa'ena' 1977.
The film 'Pakeeza' 1979.
The film 'saima' 1980.
The film 'Qurbani' 1981.
The film 'Sungdil' 1982.
The film 'Dehleez' 1983.
The film 'La zawal' 1984.
The film 'Naraaz' 1985.
The film 'Faisala'1986.
The film 'Choroan ki baraat' 1987.
The film 'Mukhra' (Punjabi) 1988.
The film 'Barood ki chaoon' 1989.
The film 'Watan kay rakhwalay' 1991.
The film 'Gori deyaan jhanjharaan'
1992.
Further, apart from receiving eighteen
Nigar awards, Nadeem had been declared to be the winner of this
prestigious award continuously for eleven years in a row, which itself
is a feat that has never been and might never be seen in the annals of
the Pakistan film industry.
Lately, Nadeem have appeared in
character actor roles in the films.
Most recently, he gained a lot of
appreciation in the Pakistan television's drama serial 'Besaat'.
Perhaps, one of these days, Nadeem
will decide to quit, and then the absence of his larger-than life silver
screen image will definitely leave a cavernous hole, which may never be
filled again.
Scores of movies which
affirms unimpeachable integrity of Nadeem as an actor of the highest
repute would certainly stand as a beacon to young, enthusiastic men and
women to guarantee that the beacon they would lit would survive.
