Dopatta
The film was marked as Pakistan's 'first super-hit Urdu-language musical film' and further to this had been awarded as a Pakistan Golden Jubilee film. Its success had created such a sensation and buzz that it was garnished as a super-hit film with receiving praises in both, Pakistan as well as India. A young woman, Yasmin, brings her husband to an elderly doctor to restore her husband's disfigured face following a horrific accident. The doctor tells her he has given up plastic surgery long back and tells her a tale to prove that true love should overlook physical looks. The super smash hit film Dopatta is directed by Sibtain Fazli, who alongside his siblings had already directed a line of iconic and historical hit films in India. Including the Nargis and Begum Para starrer Mehndi released in 1947. In Dopatta, Fazli tells us the main story of Bulbul and Roshan through a series of flashbacks narrated by an old doctor to a young woman known as Yasmin. Dopatta (1952) begins very dramatically: a car careens out of control on a street and turns turtle. Cut to an operation theatre, a surgeon hard at work; and then another swift cut to a more relaxed room, where a nervous young woman (who looks a little like a young Madhubala) is talking to a doctor. The doctor is a plastic surgeon, and the young woman is pleading with him to save her husband's looks. They've been married only a week, and oh, her husband is so handsome, and what will she do-how will she be able to live with him if his face is deformed and ugly? The doctor listens patiently to this immature and shallow young woman, Yasmin's pleading, then asks her to sit down, so that he can tell her a story.
