So far I have been able to see Mirza Ghalib with Bharat Bushan. She was very impressive as was Bharat Bushan as Ghalib. Great songs by Suraiya, talat, and Rafi saab. I have seen a few songs from Mirza Ghalib ......Anmol ghadi is the only film i have seen and to be frank i found her much more charming than Noor Jehan. I have yet to see a Noor Jehan movie but I tend to agree with you. As for singing I prefer her over NJ. R a m e s h

RK NASIR. Wonder what everyone sees in RK? He’s hideous if you ask me. Noorie You seem highly Opinionated. !!!! So I am ! Wud sumone please teach me how 2 sugar-coat the truth ? I'll be very grateful. Noorie But there must be some reasons surely for "bitter truth?" Nasir. Plenty! Let's say that unlike DK, RK cud never manage 2 look like a gentleman. Didn't look the part, cudn't play the part either. Not even in his personal life. Noorie Your answer immediately brought before me Dilip Kumar's characters of MANGAL (INSANIYAT), MR. DALIP (ANDAZ), and SHAAMU (DEEDAR). These characters amplify your reply Noorie. NASIR. NASIR

I'll be very grateful. Noorie The truth as you know it or do you have the ownership on truth. What do you don't give the credit where the credit is due, he made great strides in his career, he just didn't pop out of no where. I love Dilip Kumar as a great actor but he is NOT the only one. What one sees in one is their choice, so try to be FAIR not just blur out your great thoughts. RKA |

As 4 not being competent enough 2 comment on him; allow me 2 be the judge of that. Reason? I've seen all of his celebrated and not so celebrated movies - acted, directed and produced; this isn't a vain boast either.

Thanks so much REETH for those picture as well as information. By the way, speaking of yesteryear actress, do you have anything on REHANA? I haven't seen her name being mentioned as yet since the time I joined HF a year ago. NASIR. Nasir this is what i found on the net about Rehana........ REHANA She appeared on the silver screen sometime in the late 30's acting in minor roles but soon took the cine world by storm....Made her major debut as a leading lady in "Hum Ek Hain" with Dev Anand...which was incidentally his first film too ... With the exception of Dilip Kumar Rehana acted with all top heroes of her era... Dilruba with dev Ananad Sargam and sunehre Din with Raj kapoor Cham chama cham with Kishore kumar Sagai with Premnath Actress with prem Adeeb Adaa with Shekar Some of the best Lata Mangeshkar songs were picturised on her... Koi kisika deewana na baney.....Sargam Zamaney ka dastoor hai yeh.....Laajawab Tum kya jaano tumhari yaad mein.....Shin shinaki babla boo Preetam mere duniya mein....Adaa Mohobat mein aise .....Sagaai Her memrable movies were... Shehnai Saajan Sunehra Din Sargam Sagaai Adaa Dilruba Shin shinaki babla boo.... After completing her last films in 1956," Delhi Darbaar "and "Qeemat ", she migrated to Pakistan.... She acted in a few films in Pakistan, but failed to impress......later married a film poducer... She is widowed and leading a life of seclusion in pakistan now... Seems even the songs you mentioned above are all mellifluous. Not to speak of those well-known movies. Of course I don't remember seeing those movies except SHIN SHINAKI BUBALA BOO as a very small kid at the Imperial Theatre or perhaps the Swatik. But don't remember a thing from it. The title song of this movie I do remember the line. I wonder whether this was a mythical movie and whether the swashbuckling RANJAN was her hero. I specially asked for REHANA's info since my dad had informed me that he had purchased the house of Rehana before her migration to Pakistan. NASIR. Rehana married Pakistani film director Iqbal Shehzad, later they got divorced... and then she married a businessman Sabir Ahmed. Rehana is leading a widow's life in seclusion in Karachi. |

QUOTE She was Indian, of course..... did elope with Najam ul Hussain, the hero of her film Jawani As far as Najam ul Hasan is concerned, here is some info :- One of the major stars of Bombay Talkies, Najmul Hasan was easily the most handsome actor of his time. He was studying law but did not finish and went to Bombay where Himansu Roy, founder of Bombay Talkies, persuaded him to become an actor. He was cast in the first film produced by Bombay Talkies Jawani ki hawa (1935-H) Bo, a regular whodunit with shades of Agatha Christie. Roy's wife, Devika Rani, who was related to Rabindranath Tagore, fell in love with Najmul Hasan and the two ran away, which many say brought on the heart attack that killed Roy. Najmul Hasan also had a roaring love affair with Jahanara Kajjan, another cinema beauty. Migrated to Pakistan after partition and died unsung in Lahore in 1980. |

I have seen a few songs from Mirza Ghalib ......Anmol ghadi is the only film i have seen and to be frank i found her much more charming than Noor Jehan. Reeth, excellent pictures and info. Just a slight correction, probably an oversight: In Rustom aur Sohrab it was Premnath and not Pradeep Kumar who acted as the unfortunate Sohrab who is unwittingly killed by his own father, Rustom (Prithviraj Kapoor). Suraiyya played the mother of Premnath. The romantic angle was provided by beautiful lass called Mumtaz. Here, I would like to mention a news item that I had read in a daily many many years ago which would explain the craze for Suraiyya. It appears that a person actually robbed Suraiyya in her flat. No, not the money, but all her songs' records. The police finally nabbed the thief in Khandala. He was enjoying Suraiyya's songs, oblivious of the attendent risks. NASIR. NASIR. NASIR

It was a mistake nasir , i have seen the film ' Rustom Soharb ' in parts only....Just to see the picturisation of 2 songs which i really like 'Yeh kaisi ajab daastan' .... and 'Phir tumhari yaad aayi...

SURAIYA (June 15, 1929 - January 31, 2004 Suriya was perhaps the last of the Great singing stars...Born in Lahore, she was an only child.She began her acting career by playing bit roles as a child artiste,between the years 1937-1941.Her major film was TajMahal in 1941.....She did playback as a 13 year old for actress Mehtaab in Sharda(1942) She was launched as a singing star in Bombay talkies Hamaari Baat(1943).She initially started by playing powerful secondary roles in films like Phool, Anmol Ghadi and Dard,..Her singing career found a mentor in music maestro naushad...K.L.Saigal recommended her as heroine for Tadbir in 1945,she co starred with Saigal in Omar Khayyam and Parwana. In 1947 after the partition when Major actresses Noor jehan and Khurshid migrated to Pakistan, more opportunities appeared for Suraiya.... The Year 1948 - 1949 were the best for her career...She had three major hits Pyar ki Jeet, Badi bahen and Dillagi and she became the highest paid Female Star.At her peak Suriaya generated hysteria among the masses...Her songs were a craze....Her songs like Tere nainon ne chori kiya, Woh paas rahe ya door rahe...Bigdi bananewale, murliwale murli bajaa were hummed in every nook and corner of the country.. while shooting for the film Vidya Suraiya fell in love with Dev Anand and the two of them did six films together....Afsar,shayar,Do sitare,Jeet,Nili , none of them hits, suraiya had no regrets as their love flourished...But suraiya's grandmother opposed the relationship . Suraiya remained unmarried all her life...Their love story was the stuff legends are made of... She made a hit pair with Talat mehmood in movies like Maalik and Waris.... In 1954 she gave her finest dramatic performance in Mirza Ghalib, in the role of a courtesan, the married Ghalib's lover.....her songs in this film are eternal classics...Yeh na thi hamare kismat, Dil e naadan tujhe hua kya hai.. Some of her memorable films Anmolghadi pyar ki jeet Waris Afsar Sanam Malik Mirza Ghalib Deewana Mashooqa Vidya Shama Rustom Sohrab Suraiya's films startrd flopping in the fifties.....followed some indifferent films, and finally in 1963 after acting in Rustom Soharb with Prithviraj Kapoor she bade farewell to the studios.... She retreated into a world surrounded by her close family.. She died in 2004 ,at the age of 75.... Suriya's Films and songs continue to thrive on speculations,lore and memories.... Suraiya was born in Gujranwala... not Lahore. I haven't seen Mirza Ghalib, but my favorite Suraiya's movie as an actress is Dastaan with Raj Kapoor. As a singer... I like most of her movies. Badi Behan was also a nice watchable movie, but I didn't like Dillagi at all... Anmol Ghadi was also a nice movie... I also find Suraiya more charming than Noor Jehan in this film + I liked Suraiya's songs better than Noor Jehan. Noor Jehan was pregnant at that time I think, and she looks plumpy and bubbly and her acting was completely wooden in the movie. Noor Jehan best movies (as an actress) came after partition and she looks very pretty in Koel and Intezar. |

I have referred to several sources and by all accounts she was born in lahore and later moved to Bombay....wikipedia is the only site on where her birth place is mentioned as Gujranwala, Punjab...
