special training in colour processing and printing in Belgium, had been earlier associated with the colour work of ‘Naila’ and ‘Tumhe Ho Mehbbob Merey’ was up with yet another challenging assignment.
‘Andaleeb’ would be remembered for its good direction, acting, and production values. And even though the film was purely commercial musical romance (bits of tragedy were per-requisite for box office), Nisar Bazmi"s musical score was a highlight of the film. ‘Mere dil ki Mehfil’ (Noorjehan-Ahmad Rushdi), ‘Terey wadoon ney sanam’ (Runa Laila) and ‘Pyar ker key hum’ became popular. However, Noorjehan and Ahmad Rushi's two separate solo numbers ‘Kuch log ruth ker bhi’ became top songs of the year. ‘Andaleeb’ won as many as four ‘Nigar’ awards for Waheed Murad (best Actor), Sound (A.Z Baig), Dialogue (A.S.Afaqi) and Special Award (Shabnam). Those were the early years of Shabnam from Dhaka in Pakistan. Considering her weak Urdu delivery and accent, her dialogues were dubbed by Kaukab Afzal. ‘Andaleeb’ turned Shabnam and Waheed Murad not only into leading stars in the coming years but also the top romantic and popular pair.
