Because,the times,when Manto was writing,was very painful,and that pain hasn't subsided. The classes,the humanist ideals,the egalitarianism and human equality which Manto wanted,still couldn't prevail. And its thus very painful for sensitive people,like Manto.
Nandita Das: tumhari guftagu sunker, tumhari khayalat janker, bahot khoshi hoti hai; first a cultured cosmopolitan personality, liked & loved (& respected) both in India/Pakistan equally. Keep it up. Wish you all success & happiness in life.
First time heard a Bengali origin speaking Hindi so fluently...Nandita Das really surprised me both by her speaking skills and her depth of knowledge 😊
I have honour to see a great true writer Man to. I use to see him every day. Since I started reading his short stories at the age of Thirteen. My parents never restrict me. I use to read his books like a Religeous material. We had X-Ry clinic on Beadon Road Lahore Pakistan in sixties. He use to sit a Watchrepair shop a old typewriter in front wearing glasses a white starched Lukhnavi style Kashmiris face. Pakistan did not valued him and he suffered financial and other mental difficulties. Mohammad Aslam Greater London

Nandita really you are great, specially your Urdu pronounciation When I heard a word "KHURDBEEN"during your answer about the character of Manto wonderfull. With Respectfull Love.......
sayema is just too good at handling such a tricky show, hats off to her, its difficult to identify whether her voice quality is doing the trick or her brain but i guess its both,, god bless you sayemaji
Hats off to you nandita das Ji as I remember in my father's library I say this pile of short stories by saadat hussain mantoo but that that time I was too young to understand mantoo due to my father's guidance I did get a short description anyways listening to your preparation I salute you that surely you must have done a good job although I did see the trailer but not the whole movie as yet
Nawaz is someone who finds out talented directors and supports them. And then becomes very good friends with the directors for life. Actor director friendship is very good thing that can produce great works.
जिंदगी जैसी हो उसे हर हाल वैसा ही पेशकिया जाना चाहिए - मंटो सायमा का लाजवाब सवाल मिर्जा गालिब के बाद नसीर साहब को ही हम प्रमाणिक मानते है यह 100% सही बात है
Manto was a Punjabi Urdu Writer living in Amritsar.I ve stayed 10 years in Amritsar but nobody ever mentioned him.It was only when I came across this film and Zia Mohiuddin's reading of TOBA TEK Singh that i became aware. For starters,listen to Zia Sahib's Toba Tek Singh on youtube.....you can thank me later....
The best thing about this episode on Manto is that all three of them- Nawazuddin Bhai, Nandita Ji and the mesmerizing RJ Sayema carry a part of Manto in their lives. Loved it, keep it up.
I think Moving to Pakistan made him MANTO. It made him able to compare two places, peoples, religions, basic living and thinking of local people. However, I love ❤️ MANTO, his writing ✍️ are amazing. It will always shine forever. Love you 😍 MANTO and NAWAZ BAHI.
This is what Manto said about Bombay and this is a direct quote: "Four and a half years ago when I bade farewell to my other home, Bombay, I felt the way I feel today. I was sad at leaving a city where I had spent the hardest, the happiest and the most memorable times of my life. The strip of land, which is Bombay, had taken me, a footloose young man, rejected by his family, into its vast lap and said to me, “You can be happy here on two paise a day or on hundreds of thousands of rupees. You can also be the world’s most miserable person, regardless of what you earn. It will be entirely up to you. Here you can do what you like; no one will speak ill of you. No matter how difficult things become, you will have to deal with them yourself. You and you alone will take every important decision of your life, without interference or help. If you so choose, you may sleep on the street; or it is possible you may find yourself living in a palace…” I stayed in Bombay for 12 years. And what I am, I am because of those years. Today, I find myself living in Pakistan. It is possible that tomorrow, I may go to live elsewhere. But wherever I go, I will be what Bombay made me. Wherever I live, I will carry Bombay with me. When I left Bombay, I was sad at leaving it. That was where I had formed the most lasting friendships of my life, friendships of which I am proud. That was where I had got married, where my first child was born, where my second child began the first day of her life. There were times in Bombay when I did not have enough to eat; and there were times when I was making vast sums of money and living it up. That was the city I loved. That is the city I still love."

rupali singla Oxford University Press is publishing Poora Manto... The whole work of Manto... Clear, rectified, and confirmed.. three volumes of already published... You may get it...but that is in Urdu script....
عزم کا بھی حصہ ہے زندگی بنانے میں جبکہ میری نظر میں عزم کا ہی حصہ ہوتا ہے زندگی بنانے میں کیوں کے کسی بھی چیز کو پانے کے لئے محنت درکار ہے اور اللھ محنت کا پھل ضرور دیتا ہے
Enjoyed this presentation. I admire Nandita Das for doing her research on Manto and undertaking the difficult project. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a great actor and he will do a good job of portraying Manto. The pictures of Manto that I am familiar with do not look anything like Nawaz. Manto was quite fair, had a longish face and unruly hair. If the essence of Manto's art comes through the movie, it will be a success for me. Look forward to seeing it.
I came to know about Saadat Hasan Manto through this film. And the thing is damn true that whenever I think about Manto, the face of Nawazuddin seeks up in my mind.
Manto,was Muntu,like One Two,first. This was narrated by Munir Niazi in 1999,in Pak Tea House,Lahore in presence of Muntu's all three daughters. Secondly Muntu,or call him Manto was a dedicated humanist,and that humanism came from his very radical political upbringing. So he was not only a writer or an artist. The viewers who haven't thoroughly read Manto or the other literature writers and the politics of those times,should keep this perspective in mind,while watching the movie. Thirdly,those who know and understand Manto better,know,he was more bitter,more loud,more angry,than maybe Nawaz has depicted. I think Nandita or others will make another bold and representative movies on Manto in future. Manto,as an individual,as a writer,and as a political idealogue and activist,which he actually was,needs many many representations like this,because it was not Manto alone,it was the whole period of activism,struggle,and fearless expression. So the credit,of saying truth,goes to that period and its such movements which vied for forging human equality. The progressive writers of those days and later,Manto's comrades,his mentors,all need to be represented,for instance Krishan Chander,a short story writer and novelist as good and truthful as Manto. My last comment currently is,the era of Manto,and his alikes hasn't ended,because societies haven't changed. So Mantoiyat,which Nandita uses,is still alive,and its not only about Manto,its about all of those who somehow or another reflected the plight of the miserables,and wanted to change this very oppressive and uneven world. Salam Manto !
Kayi aese log Jo sirf e-mail se Jude hai jinse Kabhi Mili bhi Nahi Hu, unhone bahut madad ki hai.. yeh hoti hai insaniyat.. jab unhone Bola got goosebumps.. seriously..
We are lucky to be in the age where sensible directors like Nandita Das and incredible artists like Nawaz bhai are making these pieces of art. Though, I know their creation is timeless, but Still we are fortunate to breathe the same air as these artists.
A movie on Manto has already made in Pakistan... Which was great and the role of Manto was played by Sarmad Sultan and role of his wife by Sania Saeed...that movie is now dramatized and available on RU-vid...I hope Nawaz's Manto go well too.. but Sarmad's Manto is so good plzz watch on RU-vid

Wah! Nandita Ji ki Urdu ...amazing! - It is hard to find an Indian speaking good Urdu these days. Mostly we hear a crippled kind of Urdu from that side. More and more Indians must make an effort to speak good Urdu as it was originated in India anyways.
i suppose I'm not the right person to share / comment on this ... but I'm still waiting for this movie... my Pleasure to see Miss Saima .... i respect you what you did ... i heard & started reading Monto after Radio mirchi .....
