hamary yahan kitni filnmain hoti hain achi?

filmi word say aik ajeeb si feeling wabasta hy … jaisay razia butt k novel

meri favt writer hain … ab ap log thora lehaz ker lain

But Razia Butt was not a bad writer. Her novels were portrayal of Muslim women of sub-continent wit filmi touch. She portrayed partition quite well in her novel ‘Bano’.

One more thing to add that all these digest writers and their novels failed to give Urdu literature representative characters. One reason for this is extra fantasy, which is present in almost all writers’ works, be it Umera Ahmed, Farhat Ishtiyaq, Sarwat Nazeer, Faiza Iftikhar..

why do you feel that calling a novel from digest ‘filmy’ an insult? Just asking as most of the content in these Khawateen Digest is filmy and highly fantasied. Thats what make them good content from dramas. Now there is not a big difference between a drama and film. if they could made 25-30 episodes dramas MZZB and Maat from 25 pages novelette, that could have been covered in 3 hours film script as well. No?

wo to commercial reasons hain na, usko phailany ki 13 ya 25 episodes tak … I am not in favour of dramatisation of novels.

main nay shayed sirf zindagi gulzar hy dekha … wo bhi is liye that I have nothing else to watch.

baki … if u will read her very first stories … u would be really surprised. waqt k sath unkay qalam main kafi nikhar aaya.

jahan tak baat rahi … peer e kamil ki … to date it is considered to be her master piece …

pta nai kiun … I am going in defensive mode … bas kro GS k danishwaro

Have you ever read these qistwaar novels (published in monthly or weekly magazines)?

Do you prefer a novel to be read in book form (complete) or you can’t wait and can read your favorite novels in monthly / weekly installments?

Any particular novel (s) that you read in parts when they were published in magazines?

I remember, there used to be a novel ‘Humshakal Humraaz’ in Hamdard Naunehaal, that I used to read every month and when it was published in book form I got it re read it. Other novels were translation of Dumas novel ‘Count of Monte Christo’ and Dickens novel ‘Great Expectations’ published in Hamdard Naunehaal. Never tried with any of the jasoosi or Khwateen digest type novels.

I did read Humshakal Humraz, Three Musketeers in monthly installments…Count of Monte Christo read in the form of book.

Besides that… There was a story “Rishton ki Zanjeerain” in daily Jang… read on daily basis and that novel ended after few months…
"
I am missing few more novels of Naunihal… Cannot remember the name

Daily Jang used to have qistwar novels?

Yes, I remember that ‘Three bandooqchi’ translation of Three Musketeers. It was boring one. Before that they had translated ‘Oliver Twist’ in naunehaal . I found it in old issues of the monthly, but didn’t read that. There was also a very very boring novel ‘Heidi’ in naunehaal, story of a Swiss girl. I also like ‘Chalak Khargosh ke kaarname’

Most of the novels were translated by Masood Ahmed Barkati…

Yeah… that particular novel used to publish daily from Monday to Friday in second page of Jang Karachi… I think.. it was only for experiment purpose…

“Rishton ki Zanjeerain”

"Rishton ki Zanjeerain"

have you also read some qistwar novel from Akhar e jahan or Khawateen digest?

[muqawwee123]

Re: Qistwaar Novels

Anyone who followed novel ‘Devta’ in Jasoosi Digest?

[mahool]

Re: Qistwaar Novels

@muqawwee123

have you also read some qistwar novel from Akhar e jahan or Khawateen digest?

No… I am not fan of Akbar e Jehan… reason it never attracted me… I read only few stories of Teen Mard or Teen Aurtaian Teen khaniaynn…

Khawateen digest: I read very few non qistwar kahaniyan… again I did not find anything good… Those stories were highly designed for women audience and most things were fantasy…

I only read jokes… which are usually placed at the end of few novels…

After matric… I had plenty of time… I used to rent Imran Series (Mazhar Kaleem) jasosi novel…

as fas as I remember Devta used to be published in suspence.

I think I like “maut k sodagar” more than Devta.

I was also not sure about the magazines in which it publishes. There was a time, when all these mystery magazine, jasoosi digest, Suspense and Sarguzasht used to be in our home every month… but now only Sarguzasht remained intact. baqi kachra saaf

In other words, you want to say that big and acclaimed writers don't write in digests :p

What do you mean by cheap? digests might be paying handsome amount to them.. Otherwise, they have not been writing for digest after establishing their name in TV.

they wrote but i didn't read in digest bcoz digest 80-90% belongs to cheap writers....

again the term ‘cheap’

Now you people once and for all explain this term ‘cheap writer’.. Do they write something against social norms? Bos o kinaar and all that?
