Early life

edit

Qadri was born Bashir Ahmad in a small village 'Raja Tamoli' near Gujranwala, British India on 9 April 1926. He could not complete his education beyond the elementary or primary school due to poverty. As a young man, he was eager to get an opportunity to try his luck in the then newly established Pakistani film industry after 1947. After two years of struggle, he was given a chance to write his first film song by the veteran film producer and director Anwar Kamal Pasha for his upcoming film Do Ansoo (1950). The film turned out to be a 'hit film'.[1][2][3]

Career

edit

Qadri's second film was Nath (1952) in which he wrote all the film songs, film script, story and dialogue. This film did not have any commercial success.

Then his second hit breakthrough film song came in Pattan (1955 film):

In the same year, Qadri had two more big hit films namely Heer (1955) and Pattay Khan (1955). After that, he had many commercially successful films such as Nooran (1957), Daachi (1964), Hath Jori (1964) and many more hit films followed them. He wrote a total of 291 scripts for films during his career.[1]
