IN A NUTSHELL…

The early years of Bollywood fired the imagination of thousands of young men and women, who rushed to Bombay seeking the spotlight. Among them was a young man from the north Indian city of Lucknow, a city of architecture, poetry, literature and romance. He had to run away from home because in the India of the 1930s, Bollywood was an industry of ill repute.
His name was Aghajani Kashmeri. He who would start off acting and quickly switch to scriptwriting. He would eventually pen some 50 movies, among them classics such as Najma, Anmol Ghadi, Amar, Andaz, Taqdeer, Mujhe Jeene Do, Yeh Rastey Hain Pyar Ke, Junglee, Love in Simla, Khilona and Naya Zamana.
The Golden Pen is a one-hour documentary about his life as collected and narrated by his youngest son, Zuhair (Kash) Kashmeri of Niagara on the Lake, Canada. It will air on OMNI-TV in Canada this year. A date for DVD production has not been scheduled yet. Aghajani also published his autobiography in Urdu and Hindi, Sahar Hone Tak, which Zuhair is translating. But more on that in 2012...
