Her father, Javed Jabbar has been a filmmaker, and a very successful ad man apart from a senator and a cabinet minister. After receiving a BA from St. Joseph's College in Karachi, Mehreen went to the US to study film and completed a two-year program at University of California Los Angeles in 1993, with a ''Film, Television and Video certificate''. She returned to Pakistan, and directed and produced drama series/serials under the banner of ''TasVeer Productions'', almost all of which were critically acclaimed by the Pakistani press.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/oct2008-weekly/you-07-10-2008/index.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.t2f.biz/an-evening-with-mehreen-jabbar/ )〕 Jabbar directed her first play in 1994, called ''Nivala'', which was an adaptation of Ismat Chughtai's short story. However, the play never made it to the television screens, having been refused by state-run television channel PTV on the grounds that it was an Indian writer's work. It was a setback for Mehreen but she continued working for television and since then has made several award winning telefilms and TV series for several TV channels in Pakistan, in addition to a number of short films which have aired in festivals worldwide. Ramchand Pakistani was Jabbar's first feature-length film,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/fps/2009/04/200941783254954670.html )〕 which was released in Pakistan, India and the UK to wide critical and audience acclaim. The film premiered in the competition section of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York in 2008. It won the FIPRESCI PRIZE from the International Federation of Film Critics and received Honourable Mention by the 13th Annual Satyajit Ray Awards at the London Film Festival, 2008 as well as the Audience award at the Fribourg International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fipresci.org/awards/awards/awards_2008.htm )〕 The film recently had a week-long screening at the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York.
