The Cry of “Your Honour” is Now Silent

I love M.A. He played a college student till he was 50 years old. That`s quite a feat:) And comedians particularly Umar Sharif parody him to date which is evidence of his lasting impact on the Pakistani film industry.

The man who cried out for justice and made the appeal “Your Honour” (Judge Sahib) a household word in 1970 is no more.

I thought it was Melord.

No, I wasn`t. I turned out to be more handsome than MA and Gregory except that my eyebrows look like Mr. Spock

May God rest his soul in peace.


Re: # 5
Were you successful in your antics?

I watched most of MA`s movies as re-runs on the PTV except some of early 80s. But even then my childhood ambition was either to become Mohammad Ali or Gregory Peck when I grew up. Mohammad Ali was one of the most masculine and handsome among the then Urdu movie heroes like Nadeem, Kamal and Wahid Murad etc. As a matter of fact I used to practice in front of mirror to imitate MA`s eyebrows which used to make perfect urdu number 8 (inverted letter ``V``) in the fit of passion.

Mohd Ali and Zeba were the ultimate in Pakistani film industry. I feel sad for Zeba`s big loss. May God give her strength to cope with Ali`s death, ameen

Timely article. Just been watching some old Pakistani films on a TV channel. Was surprized how most of them were pretty good. Far better in content than what we hail as great coming from Bollywood. We need more articles like these.

Mohammad Ali`s death marks the end of our own youthful hearts

---

those of us who really came of age in the 70`s. Despite his histrionics, his emotional wails of ``your Honour`` ``Judge Sahib`` and the ridiculous `` Maan, mein BA mein pass ho gia`` while in his 40`s, we absolutely loved him. For us, Ali was in the class of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, in the class that Dilip Kumar belongs to, and yet he was a class unto himself.
Mohammad Ali the jewel of the golden Pakistani cinema. His marriage to beautiful Zeba, the longevity and beauty of that marriage, his public persona, his social work are testimonies that he lived a good life. He was one of the gods in the Pantheon of sub-continent`s filmdom and he will live in our pained hearts till we, the last fans, pass on.
Hang in there, Zeba Bhabhi, Samina, Irshad Bahi, and the rest of the family. Rest in peace, sweet Prince!

He was a great man and a great actor.

Pakistan has suffered a big loss.
