Sagar Sarhadi
Birth Anniversary: Remembering Sagar Sarhadi
The great music composer Khayyam did his career’s best score for Sagar Sarhadi’s Bazaar. This immortal motionpicture soundtrack, one of the 25 great albums of Hindi cinema , contains Lataji’s majestic Ghazal Dikhayee diye yun ke bekhud kiya, followed by her dulcet duet Phir chidi raat with Talat Aziz. Moving away from professional lyricists , Sarhadi used traditional poetry of classical poets. Jagjit Kaur’s heartbreaking Dekh lo aaj humko jee bhar ke was from a 200-year-old book Zehre-E-Ishq by Mirza Shauq. Lataji’s Dikhaye diye yun was written by Mir Taqi | Click Here...
Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Nawazuddin Siddiqui Pay A Tribute To The Great Sagar Sarhadi
I was a fan of Sagar Sarhadi’s writing. Mellow,mordant and modern, his perception of love and related issues was unique and yet so inured in tradition that a film like Kabhi Kabhie which Sagar Sarhadi wrote, almost seems like romantic confection until you peer into its heart. A noted Urdu shortstory writer, Sagar Saab started his writing career in films with the dialogues of Basu Bhattacharya’s Anubhav which were so real, they seemed to have been thought up by the protagonists played by Tanuja and Sanjeev Kumar. Stardom of a kind, came to Sagar Saab | Click Here...
