Article In 'stars From Another Sky' By Manto Options

[jamalf_akbar]

Hi all,

Here is the article I promised. It appears in a book called 'Stars from another sky - The Bombay film world of the 1940's' by Saadat Hasan Manto (Translated into English by Khalid Hasan). The book is a collection of articles written by Manto between 1948 and 1954 and appeared in a book titled ' Ganjay Farishtey' and has articles on Ashok Kumar, Shyam, Nargis, Naseem and others from that era.

(I have attached the scanned images as 50% of their original size - if too small I can put the original size up)

Ummer - would you be able to use OCR on these and send me the text? (or suggest some good software that I could get!)

No probs guys - it is always a pleasure.

Thanks for the Info Inaam bhai - I had started searching for the 'Noor Jehan Suroor Jehan' book and I had it all along !! As for the Rizvi one, my grandfather has it but he needs to find it. He gets quite tired these days so does not venture upstairs much. As I can't read Urdu it is an almost impossible task for me to try to look for it - but just had a thought, my wife can read Urdu so I could get her to help me !
