Comment on Waris the classic PTV drama – an analysis by Mus

The inro tun eof the serial was lifted from one of James Bond’s movies starring Sean Connery.I didn’t know about it until I saw the movie a few weeks ago.

The movie carries the signature tune all along.
The introduction of the serial could have been better pictured.Its too fuzzy,blurred and shows a dog race in a village,couldn’t have been more boring but the actual substance lied in the serial itself.

yar, we should get together and invite SHY to Lahore.. just like Sheikh Nuh Keller visited once… maybe a lecture in LUMS or somewhere where we could charge something. Rs 1000 for a ticket to listen to SHY.. all proceeds go to a charity… kya khyaal hai ?

I don’t know no “Charsi” but I do know another slowpoke named “Soee Hui Mael” which means “Sleeping Dirt”…

He was a nice enough fellow but was very very slow in all his movements. Guy looked like a drug addict.

I never have seen a superb drama more than Waris. It remembers me my childhood. May God rest souls of Mehboob Alam, Tahira Naqvi, Farrukh and others who are not with us now in this world but they will ever remain in our mind with love.

Waris will go down as one of the greatest ever serials from PTV.The time this was telecast was a strange one for Pakistan and indeed as you said Pakistan was going through a phase of rapid transition.

I remember the last episode was aired on 22 March 1980,as we were in Gujranwala that day to attend a family wedding and the baraat, supposed to arrive from Multan, was told to re-schedule their departure and delay it by a couple of hours so as to not to disturb people watching the last episode,which turned out to be as dramatic as the rest of the episodes.
I think Amjad Islam Amjad has been given an overdose of appreciation for his penning the novel,Waris.
A novel is nothing but a book you read.

Actually it was Yawar Hayat who deserves all the praise for his superb direction and ofcourse the cast of the serial,a whole jambhoree of Lahore’s best actors contributed to make the serial a mega-success.

Years later when Amjad was asked about his character Chaudhry Hashmat,he said that what he conceived in his novel wasn’t the one we saw on TV but what we saw on TV was much better than the one he conceived in his novel.
