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!)

Wow!!! Many thanks for these wonderful pictures, Jamal. You are rock!!!! I guess this is the first issue of the book. I also have this book with me, but it has no pictures at all. Most of the picture are truly rare, especially the Ghalib ones.

In the next picture I just fixed the important bits i.e. Noor Jehan and not the man in the background. Not sure what the caption says.

Caption says: Noor Jehan, at the time of recording of ‘Intizar’.
Who was in the background, Jamal? If Khurshid Anwar, Please re post the picture in full.

Again thanks for pics. Hoping one day you could be able find the Shaukat Rizi book ‘Noor Jehan Ki Kahaani, Meri Zubaani’.
