GHUNDA
of PTV-K was produced by Kunwar Aftab Ahmed
in 1969 with following cast;
Talat Hussain, Mahmood Khan Moodi, Munawwar Saeed,
Khurshid Talat, Farida Hashmi and yours truly.
It was one of the firsts of the grand
TAMASEEL festival held by PTV-K
under the management of Aslam Azhar as its GM.
So powerful was the impact of the play....presenting
the atrocities of a GHUNDA who's own daughter
at the end addresses him as one...which makes
him cry....
Moodi (now settled in UK) played GHUNDA
while Talat's side role left more impact of his
get up clad in a leather jacket....
I paired with Khurshid Talat who played
Farida Hashmi's daughter..and this play
was the commencement of my
friendship with Kaytee which still continues.
GHUNDA was reproduced on stage
in English by my cousin Sohail Malik and his wife Shaiyyane
but didn't fly...
