Azra is a 1962 Pakistani costume film directed by Munshi Dil, and produced by Agha G. A. Gul under Evernew Pictures banner.[1] Neelo played the title role in the film opposite Ejaz. The film is based on the legend of Azra Wameq.[2] The music of the film was composed by Inayat Hussain. Although the film was primarily in black and white, some of the songs were featured in colour.[1]
It was Neelo's first pairing with Ejaz; they would later play together in Dosheeza (1962), Beti (1964), Gehra Daagh (1964) and Badnaam (1966).[3] Although not a commercially successful film initially, Azra gained importance in the 1970s during its later theatrical runs and the film's popular film songs of Inayat Hussain.[4]
The plot revolves around two lovers, Azra and Wameq. A princess of the state, Azra falls for Wameq at first sight and manages to make him the guest of the palace. There, they both get a chance to know more about each other and come close to each other. After the end of the mehfil, Wameq goes to her bedroom but returns after kissing her. A maid in the palace observes this and informs the King.
