Noor has been nominated for the Best Health Film Award at the Cannes World Film Festival, according to Adil’s Instagram post.

Noor, according to Adil, is a “heartfelt narrative” that shines light on the difficulties that many people experience as a result of cultural myths and taboos, particularly children who suffer the most in silence.

The script for the movie was written by Farah Usman, and it also stars Sarwat Gilani, Omair Rana, Tanisha Shameem, Mizna Waqas, and Tasneem Ansari in major roles.
