HEERA AUR PATTHAR
Posted Feb 21st, 2009 at 09:15 AM by arjay
HEERA AUR PATTHAR under FilmArts of Waheed Murad's Dad Nisar Murad...was perhaps the 3rd of their production..which had the newly debuted WAHEED MURAD (having done a side role as Sabiha's son in 'AULAD'-1961).
Directed by Pervez Malik, HAP became the first ever platinum jubilee (B&W) movie of Pakistan..which was wholly made in Karachi at Saeed A. Haroon's Eastern Studios and about 65% on location at some guava farms of Malir and nearby Goths..a few odd miles from Karachi Airport.
Starring; Waheed Murad, Zeba, Kamal irani, Ibrahim Nafis, Adeeb, Nimmo her sister Kammo, Nirala, Naz Begum, Agha Jan and some famous regular visitors of Eastern Studios like; Feroze (who wanted to make ASSALAM ALAIKUM which had the famous Salim Shahzad song; Muhabbat Ke Deeay Jala Lo) and two faces I can never forget--seen in many Waheed movies of Karachi--doing something or the other in tidbit roles as badmash aur a friend or someone. I think one's name was ANSARI ?
HAP covered just about all of Karachi's serene and quiet areas of those days. From the songs you are to see by clicking the links below, you'll see the famous musical fountain of Karachi which use to show off beautifully with water sprinkling and music played in front of the then REX cinema near Trinity church...jo ke subb gharatt hogaya Karachi se
You can also see the M. A. Jinnah road coming from Jinnah's mazaar...when it was under construction. Also the National Stadium Karachi where one could just walk-in....(now it's like you are a thief to even roam around that area
)
Waheed did some shooting at his father-in-law Hamid Maker's 'H.M.SILK MILLS' at SITE area..also which involved him, Nirala, Ibrahim Nafis and Adeeb.
I remember ALL this by heart and its the first ever time I scribe all this...before my memory gives up the huge data it has stored on GB basis.
The LYARI people had declared HAP as their NATIONAL movie on account of Waheed and his movie-Dad Kamal Irani being donkey cart drivers in that movie and the fantastic donkey cart race Pervez Malik beautifully picturized at Nazar Mohammad Goth-Konkar near Malir farms.
The swinging ROCK song 'Diwane Ho Ke..Mastane Ho Ke..Aao Manayen Picnic...' was shot at KARACHI AIRPORT CLUB which still exsists but in horrendous condition now. It is located just adjacent to my UBL's Airport Main branch at Old-Old Airport.. now VVIP Airport...when you go through Star-Gate.
AIRPORT CLUB had one of the finest New year parties. My cousin Chicco Jehangir..I distinctly remember, danced JIVE there on LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR....once. I was there as we use to regularly visit that club. It has a beautiful ambiance. A huge swimming pool (now filled with sand and rocks ) and a Squash Court. You'll see in one of the links below....the swimming pool and all...when Adeeb is seen spending his rich dad's money on his friends...and having fun...!
I saw HEERA AUR PATTHAR...at least 12 times (once a late night show with Ibrahim Nafis and Talat Hussain also..they both were Radio Artiste) at NAZ Cinema, Karachi opp: Nishat Cinema...while NISHAT survives...NAZ died and no thanks to Aslam for selling it off--where now stands NAZ PLAZA...!
HEERA AUR PATTHAR will live forever..for its strong story, melodious songs and superb acting of Waheed & Zeba..et al!
