Saadat Hasan Manto:- Movie Review
Last evening, I watched a Hindi movie by Nawaz-Uddin-Siddiqui who is a familiar actor and producer in Bollywood at the moment.
Saadat Hasan Manto was the finest critic and writer of the Urdu language who captured everything he observed and wrote. Despite all the scars and threats, imprisonment, and criticism by society he never gave up throwing light on the realistic side of society that was quite ugly.
Manto was born in 1914 and died in 1955. He was jailed three times in his career because of writing but he didn’t quit writing. He writes articles on the independent movement of India and Pakistan and highlighted brave rape cases that were common in 1948.
When both nations decided to send people again to their countries like Hindu; he was sent to India. Muslims were sent to Pakistan. He was Hindu which is the reason he was allowed to go to Pakistan.
At this time most of them did not reach their homes, they refused to go and they still took them to the border but they did not enter both countries there is a place which is between Pakistan and India wall they stayed there which had no names. They died there but did not enter both countries. And they faced uncountable problems there during this.
Manto as a controversial writer both in Pakistan and India had a harsh life with much trouble and suffering that resulted in him observing, analyzing, and showing how ugly society is and how hard truth-speaking can harm.
Most Importantly, I liked Manto because he thanked the British and asked why he said they made numbers by which we can recognize where our mother and father’s grave is. Thus I suggest the movie be watched by everyone.
