00:37In today's new and highly interesting Express Explainer
00:42The personality we are going to talk about today
00:44The truth is that he is a murderer of some acquaintance.
00:46But there are some aspects of her life that still make her a momma.
00:51Yes, we are talking about one of the biggest pop culture icons, Waheed Murad.
00:56Today we will delve deeper into this fun and unravel the layers of such a personality.
01:00Whom the world probably knew only as a chocolate hero
01:03But what was the real truth, he had a tremendous double inheritance
01:08In which a very deep and hidden wisdom was also present
01:11So come on, let's get started
01:14Just look at these words
01:16I am a forgotten story, a past thought
01:19I am a question that cannot be understood
01:22These words go straight to the heart, don't they?
01:26This is a very famous dialogue of Waheed Murad.
01:29And to be honest, this story is perfect to understand the essence of his life.
01:33Today, instead of following any traditional agenda, we will jump straight into this moment.
01:38Because in the noise of his immense popularity, that aspect of his generosity got buried somewhere.
01:43which we will reveal today
01:45These words force us to think whether we ever understood them.
01:52Let's first talk about the golden era and chocolate.
01:55That is, that great height of Pakistani cinema
01:58The 1960s were the time when Hollywood was in its full glory.
02:03And it would not be wrong to say that the entire film industry is driven by the charismatic personality of Waheed Murad and his matchless
02:10I was dreaming of success
02:11Now just look at this number, 75 weeks, yes 75 weeks, just imagine its release in 1966.
02:21His blockbuster film Armaan ran continuously for 75 weeks in cinemas.
02:26This was no small feat, as it generated a record box office collection that was unparalleled at the time.
02:32It was also difficult to find in the cinema of
02:34And this was not just a hit film, the film Armaan captured the entire tragic scene of that time forever.
02:41It became Pakistan's first platinum jubilee film and most people are surprised to know this.
02:47Waheed Murad himself has said this
03:04But here a very interesting question arises that where did this term of chocolate hero come from?
03:10So, sir, this term was actually taken from a drama by the famous dramatist George Barnard.
03:16Waheed Murad's special hair falling on his forehead, his deep and heavy voice and his maknati-like
03:22Romantic charm was the only thing that earned him this legendary title.
03:27Whenever he came on screen, the viewers were completely captivated by him.
03:32Now we come to a very important part of our expresser
03:36The silent Mufkr means the silent mind behind this personality.
03:40From here on, the story takes a drastic paradigm shift.
03:44On the one hand, he had a film personality
03:46A rich, carefree, playboy and pop culture hero.
03:50The one who wins everyone's heart
03:51But on the other hand, when we see the real Waheed in real life
03:56So he was a completely different person.
03:57He had done his Masters in English Literature.
04:00He was extremely reserved, quiet, reserved and serious.
04:04And later he enjoyed reading complex writers like James Chase and Virginia Woolf.
04:09This powerful contrast makes his personality much more complete and interesting.
04:15And isn't it surprising that he died at the age of just 22, yes, just 22 years.
04:20He established his own production house named Film Arts.
04:22Understanding the great potential, he formed a creative team that included amazing people like Suhail Rana, Masroor Anwar and Parvez Malik.
04:30The Basalayat people of
04:31His aim was not merely to sell entertainment, but he considered cinema a great medium of national service.
04:37Were
04:37And he wanted to incorporate a very deep social message in his work.
04:40Let us take this forward in our next section on the stigma of a community and its hidden meaning in mainstream cinema.
04:47message
04:47This is the most amazing part of his mental talent where he brings out very deep things in apparently simple films.
04:54were doing
04:55To understand how his mind worked, look at these examples.
04:59The film Heera Aur Patthar ostensibly depicts the love story of a poor, hardworking boy and a rich girl.
05:06It seems like the story
05:07But if we pay attention, in reality this is a lament of the educated elite class being cut off from the common people.
05:13Was
05:13Similarly, in his film Samandar, a contest of might was shown between two warriors from a Mahigir colony.
05:20It was actually a powerful example of the complete peace and tranquility of the regime and power of Eastern and Western Pakistan.
05:27He used the cinema screen to spark a highly sensitive, sensible and highly bipartisan debate on political issues.
05:34But then time took a turn
05:38Now we will talk about that Almanag flame.
05:40Where on one hand the entire film industry was sinking
05:43And secondly, Janeb herself was becoming a very big icon.
05:47Check out these date years of the date
05:49Jarai explains that since the separation of Eastern Pakistan in 1971
05:53The industry lost half its audience overnight.
05:55Then the 1977 martial law and new censorship completely shattered the freedom of thought.
06:01By 1989, VCR piracy and a distinctive Gandasa culture had taken over.
06:06The Urdu cinema was placed right against the wall.
06:08And then, in 1983, at the age of just 45, this great icon passed away tragically.
06:15These are the historical facts that shook the foundations of the industry.
06:20If we go into the details of these censorship laws, the situation becomes even clearer.
06:25Suddenly, a degree became mandatory to produce a film.
06:28Romance and dance were strictly prohibited on screen.
06:31Moreover, many seminary houses were forcibly closed.
06:34These things completely blocked the path of creative and romantic Urdu literature.
06:39And knowingly or unknowingly, he paved the way for such films.
06:43In which only the auction period was dominant.
06:46And during this period of questioning, Waheed Murad's life was also in the grip of severe storms.
06:51He suffered from a severe stomach ulcer that required surgery.
06:55And at that time, the devotion of his devotees was such that they would go to hospitals to donate blood for him.
07:01gathered outside
07:01Then a horrific car accident left a deep scar on his face.
07:06Just imagine how big a blessing this would be for a romantic hero.
07:10And then, after reading the dora of the heart, he left this world forever.
07:15Now let's move on to the last part of this explainer.
07:18A glorious legacy and the elegance of art and stardom
07:22It is said that the legacy of a true artist never dies.
07:26If we look at the time of his death
07:29So mourners flocked to the cinema halls, crazy and
07:32And his old films once again reached their peak.
07:36A clan was born
07:37Even today, after so many years, Takribat Munkat is performed every year in his memory.
07:42Who is a living proof of the fact that his art and his passion for writing
07:47It has died forever in the hearts of madahs
07:50At the end of today's conversation, I am leaving you with a very important question.
07:55Today, when our cinema is once again struggling to stand on its feet
08:00So we should think whether the current industry really reflects the intellectual depth and wisdom of writers like Waheed Murad.
08:07understands the foundation on which it was once laid
08:09This tour has undoubtedly brought us back to the hidden depths and subtleties of the art of these great heroes of pop culture.
08:17forced to think
08:18Thanks
08:41There is a shadow in my thoughts, a delicate, fluffy, innocent girl.
