Cinemaazi remembers Wajahat Mirza on his death anniversary

We remember the illustrious Wajahat Mirza on his death anniversary. Regarded as one of the most distinguished personalities of Hindi cinema, Wajahat Mirza Changezi began his journey in the Indian film industry as an assistant cameraman. It was a stroke of destiny that led him to work as a writer on films such as Aurat (1940), Sister (1941) and Roti (1942). He also directed films like Shahenshah Babar (1944), Jawani (1942), and Nishana (1950) among many others. With a linguistic affluence and range unlike any other, Mirza went on to contribute dialogues to some of the most successful films of his time, including Mother India (1957) and Ganga Jamuna (1961), for which he won the Filmfare award for Best Dialogue a second time in his career. His most popular contribution to the world of Hindi cinema would be his work on the highly acclaimed historical drama, Mughal-e-Azam (1960), for which he wrote dialogues along with three other writers, and which went on to gain great critical acclaim.
