Ghulam Ali
Like the tree that branches out as it ages, so too grows the fountain of wisdom. Ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali is one such man who despite being an icon in his trade, is humble to a fault. It seems fame hasn’t touched him. However, he sits uneasily when taking stock of the fare dished out ...
Munawwar Saeed
Had Munawwar Saeed’s family not migrated to Pakistan in 1960, we would have lost him to the Indian world of cinema and the performing arts. As a young student at the Aligarh University in India, Munawwar Saeed had already started emitting the acting sparks in him. And when he approached his uncle, Kamal Amrohi, owner ...

Nirala
Very seldom do we see a comedian in Indo-Pakistani films who doesn’t have you in stitches, but brings a hearting smile to your face. Late Nirala was one such actor. Nirala sahib belonged to the generation of comedians that brought the house down with their pun-replete, double entendre dialogue, namely Zareef, Lehri and Munawwar Zareef. ...

Rangeela
The serious and intense expressions belie a career full of mirth, irony, humor, and some would add an unspoiled, spontaneous cheekiness. There are some of the traits that made versatile film personality Rangeela, a huge and impermeable star for almost 40 years. Born Hafiz Mohammed Saeed khan, Rangeela’s entry into films was somewhat circuitous but ...
Atiya Sharaf
The movie business with its meretricious appeal lures an onslaught of hopefuls, seeking instant fame, glamour and stardom. So one wonders what keeps someone in the biz, after they have been unanimously denied stardom and been relegated to secondary, matronly roles. This particular un-sex appealing route was the fate of character actress Atiya Sharaf from ...
Asad Jaffrey
It was in the early 1950’s that a handsome Youngman met the busy bee director, Hassan Tariq, who was working on his all-time great movie, Neend. In the very first assessment, the top director found his face expressive. He seemed somebody out of the short stories of 1940’s. An unshaven face, dreamy eyes, and a ...
