Film Chakori was made in Bengali language in ex-East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), and released on March 22, 1967 in Dacca (Dhaka). Then, it was dubbed in Urdu language and released in Karachi on May 19, 1967. Distributors in West Pakistan were not interested to release this film due to poor reports of new comers Nadeem and Shabana. First few days film business was very bad, then local boy Nadeem became hero of cinegores and this film celebrated platinum jubilee (81 weeks) - only the second platinum jubilee Urdu film in Pakistan and a new success record for a new pair. All male songs (except Nadeems) were sung by Basheer Ahmad in the Bengali version. Urdu songs were recorded in Lahore studio..

پاک میگزین" کا آغاز 1999ء میں ہوا جس کا بنیادی مقصد پاکستان کے بارے میں اہم معلومات اور تاریخی حقائق کو آن لائن محفوظ کرنا ہے۔
یہ تاریخ ساز ویب سائٹ، ایک انفرادی کاوش ہے جو 2002ء سے mazhar.dk کی صورت میں مختلف موضوعات پر معلومات کا ایک گلدستہ ثابت ہوئی تھی۔
اس دوران، 2011ء میں میڈیا کے لیے akhbarat.com اور 2016ء میں فلم کے لیے pakfilms.net کی الگ الگ ویب سائٹس بھی بنائی گئیں
لیکن 23 مارچ 2017ء کو انھیں موجودہ اور مستقل ڈومین pakmag.net میں ضم کیا گیا جس نے "پاک میگزین" کی شکل اختیار کر لی تھی۔
