Film industry does not believe in preserving own heritage: Filmmaker who found Sahir’s nazms in scrap
Sahir Ludhianvi’s writings — nazms, letters, photographs — were recently found at a junk shop amid a dump of magazines and newspapers in Mumbai’s Juhu.
Ye duniya jahan aadmi kuch nahi hai… ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai, wrote Sahir Ludhianvi in Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman-starrer, Pyaasa, the story of a talented writer whose realistic imagery of the world around him is not valued by those living in it. Ludhianvi was inspired by what he saw around him and his own life experiences, which led him to pen a stark and stirring comment on the society. One day, Vijay, Dutt’s character in the film, is seen rummaging through a scrap dealer’s shop, looking for his nazms. His diary of poetry had been sold here. In a twist of fate, Ludhianvi’s writings — nazms, letters, photographs — were recently found at a junk shop amid a dump of magazines and newspapers in Mumbai’s Juhu.
