Neelofar, starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan had high expectations due to its star cast and heavy promotions, but it struggled to attract audiences both in Pakistan and abroad.

Despite the success of their previous hits like The Legend of Maula Jatt, industry insiders are worried about the impact of this flop.

Some analysts even suggest that Mahira Khan’s career could face serious challenges after Neelofar’s poor response.

The acting of Mahira Khan in the viral clip of Neelofar also disappointed fans and encouraged them not to watch the movie, Neelofar.

Fawad Khan, though facing multiple flops including Money Back Guarantee and Aabeer Gulaal, is still expected to get future projects.

Interestingly, Fawad reportedly did not want Neelofar to release, causing delays, but the film was eventually released worldwide on 28 November with heavy marketing.

The production budget of Neelofar was Rs18,00,00,000, while an additional Rs20,00,00,000 went into promotions.

Domestically, it opened at just Rs85,00,000, with slight improvement on the second day at Rs1,20,00,000 and Rs1,05,00,000 on the third day.

By the end of the first weekend, the total domestic collection was Rs3,10,00,000. After six days, the film’s total domestic earnings stood at Rs4,66,00,000, making it one of the biggest box office disasters in recent years.
