About the film's box office success Khan said, "The audience's reception of Factory Girl is evident in the box office success of the film as it approaches the two million mark. Coupling that with the warm critical reception helped the release of the film all over the Arab world, from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, to Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and last but not least Lebanon."
Helmed by great Mohamed Khan and Written by Wessam Soliman, Factory Girl is produced by Mohamed Samir's DayDream Art Production. The film tells the story of Hiyam, a young factory worker, lives in a lower-middle-class neighborhood, along with her co-workers. She is clearly under the spell of Salah, the factory's new supervisor, who has expressed his admiration for her. She believes love can transcend the class differences between them. However, when a pregnancy test is discovered in the factory premises, her immediate family and close friends accuse her of sinning. Hiyam decides not to defend herself and pays an enormous price in a society that fails to accept independent women. Factory Girl examines the changes that take place in her life over the four seasons of the year. From falling in love to facing heartbreak, her life comes around full circle by the end of the year.
