Aaghosh 1953 Rare Duet on Death Anniversary of Santosh Kumar

Pakistan's first ever Romantic Hero and my favourite actor Syed Moosa Raza (Film Name Santosh Kumar) was born on 25th December 1925 in Lahore. He graduated from Usmania University Hyderabad Deccan with distinction as it was pre-requisite for higher Govt. Officer Job. While he was waiting for his interview a friend diverted his attention towards films. Since Santosh looked like a typical prince of a romantic movie. He possessed all the qualities required of a film hero: Superb facial cuts, ,more than average height, authority on Urdu and English vocabulary, quick wit, ingenious with God-gifted wisdom and praise-worthy etiquette so he dint have to work hard for a role. 'Ahensa' was the first film of Santosh as a hero, which was released in 1948, under the banner of Kashmir films.
In 1948, he also appeared as a side hero in his second movie, 'Meri Kahani' which was released in 1949 at Nishat cinema, Karachi. Munawwar Sultana and Surender played the lead roles. After independence, Santosh migrated to Lahore, Pakistan, along with his family. 'Beli' was his first film as a hero, which was picturised and released in Pakistan ('Beli': 1949, screen writer: Sa'adat Hasan Manto, Director was Masood Pervez, who also assisted W.Z. Ahmed as his special advisor, composer: Rasheed Attray, lead actress: Shaheena, daughter of renowned composer-actor Rafiq Ghaznavi, also included were M.Ismail, Shahnawaz, Anwar Adha and Sabiha Khanum ('Beli' was Sabiha's debut film) In 1949, director Anwar Kamal Pasha, son of Hakeem Ahmed Shuja Pasha, established his film studio, 'Naubahar films' and started the location shooting of the film 'Do Aansoo', which was based on a novel, 'Baap ka gunah', penned by his father. 'Do Aansoo' was released in April 1950, in Jubilee cinema, Karachi, and it was also the first silver jubilee film of Pakistan. (Director: Anwar Kamal Pasha, assistant director: Murtaza Jeelani, who also co-ordinated with director Nazeer in his movie, 'Sacchai' in which Santosh performed the role of 'Aslam' opposite two lead actresses, Sabiha and Gulshan Ara. Other performers were Shamim Banu, Himaliya Wala, Shahnawaz, Ajmal, Fazal Shah, Azad, Alauddin, Ghazala and a new comer, comedian , Asif Jah. 'Do Aansoo' not only gave a vintage quality to the performance of the entire film crew, but also proved to be a milestone in each and every participant's career. From 1950 onwards, Santosh became the necessity for the films and he never looked backwards. The detail of his around 100 movies can be found on web. Essentially, Santosh was a principle, articulate and a sober person with his eyes always on the future. In addition, he always kept himself abreast of the situation around him. One commercially successful movie after another kept its grip on his imagination and he worked relentlessly to pursue realistic goals. Considering the changing time and trend in the 1960s film circle, he joined hands with a reputable international organization as the sales director, alongside he contributed to the Pakistani cinema as a producer and an actor, as well. Film 'Shaam Dhalay' was the only movie in his film career, which he produced, directed and played the lead role, as well. Lastly i want to mention his high IQ here as he participated in Tariq Aziz's TV Quiz Show Neelam Ghar in 1980's and won the Car which was the biggest prize in 20 Questions :) Santosh left for the eternal journey on June 11, 1982. Today, Santosh Kumar is no longer with us, but his significant moral character, wisdom and humility ignited a fire in the countless cine-goers that never did go out and never will..

Doc. Did Santosh ever worked in any Indian movies?, If not then why did he took up a Hindu name.

[lovehumanity]

Yes he did work in few movies in Bombay before partition..all C class movies though..and disappointed from the roles there he moved to Pak.

[lovehumanity]

@moidulhassan1 thanx.. u r rite that he starred in Ahinsa but there was one more movie based on a muslim social family drama type background..forgetting its name.. Producer and writer both were muslim.. i'll let you know..but the thing is he prefered to come to Pak instead of wait or struggle in that tuf 47 era of bloodshed..and i feel in his case it was a just decision as he lived gracefully here unlike many others from the ruthless shobiz :-)
