Yeh Un Dinoñ Ki Baat Hai - Yasir Abbasi

Yeh Un Dinoñ Ki Baat Hai: Urdu Memoirs of Cinema Legends, selected and translated by Yasir Abbasi and published by Bloomsbury India, brings together an eclectic collection of memoirs written by renowned writers and cine artists and published in Urdu magazines of yore, many of which are now defunct.
