B R Chopra is known to make films with strong social undercurrents that ask pertinent questions. After Insaaf ka Tarazu that dwelled on rape and the plight of its victims, B R Chopra made Nikaah that raised a few questions on the Muslim's way of divorcing.
Pakistani actress Salma Agha was a befitting 'Nilofer' who loved, married and knew only one man. But her husband probably took her for granted and in a fit of anger separated himself from her by shouting 'Talaq' thrice.
Nilofer goes back to her house, takes up a job and bumps into her college mate and admirer Raj Babbar. They get married and live happily when Deepak Parashar, her first husband, tries to bring her back. This time the woman in 'Nilofer' speaks up. She states clearly that she is not ready to be throwballed between two men. She decides to leave both when her ex-husband realizes his fault and leaves.
Salma Agha became more of a singing sensation than an actress after Nikaah. The film's songs were all time hits
