Subject : Mushtaq Changezi, the Dilip Kumar of Sindhi cinema, dies at 70
Just like Sindhi cinema that is no longer in existence, the star who took it to its pinnacle in the 1960s and 70s, breathed his last on Thursday. Mushtaq Malano, known by his stage name Mushtaq Changezi, died of a cardiac arrest. The star acted in the lead role of about 60 Sindhi movies in his career spanning more than 30 years. He was at one point married to the Punjabi and Sindhi movie superstar, the late Chakori. “He entered the industry at a time when the newly introduced cinema screens posed a dispiriting challenge to Sindhi films,” recalls Naseer Mirza, an expert on art and music and the regional director of Radio Pakistan, Hyderabad. According to Muhammad Hussain Qadri, another renowned face of the regional cinema, theatre and dramas, Changezi was for Sindhi movies what Dilip Kumar was for Hindi films. “Just as Pashto films have not produced a second Badar Munir, the same is true for him,” he said.His mortal remains were laid to rest in Tando Jahanian graveyard.
