Yunus Parvez passes away
Chandra
Read yesterday that Yunus Parvez passed away. Seems like none of the
major online newpapers carried the news. He was a great character
actor and will be greatly missed.

Yes. RIP.
He was 75 and had been a chronic patient of Diabetes.
He acted in more than 200 films, often enacting hilarious
cameos. Always overweight, he had become positively
obese in later life and this must have aggravated his
diabetes.
I particularly remember his cameo as Inspector Khan in a
Rakesh Roshan/Leena Chandavarkar film "Ek Kunwari Ek
Kunwara", released in the early seventies. Making an
entrance towards the end, when a marriage is about to be
solemnized, he intones in a serious voice : "DaKHal dar
m'aqoolaat ki m'uafee chaahta hooN". In that role, he
spouts his dialogue in exaggeratedly chaste Urdu.
RIP.

Speaking of chaste Urdu..
I'll always remember the late Sanjeev Kumar saying to Yunus Parvez;
"Jo aadmi ghutne ko zanu kehta hai, vo Ashok Kumar ko Kishore Kumar
bhi keh sakta hai". For me, apart from Deewar (Rahim chacha), Yunus
Parvez's most memorable role was definitely as the goldsmith's
assistant in Angoor.

May his soul rest in peace (Amen).
I will always remember him in Golmaal (1979), where he welcomed Amol
Palekar on his first day at work with these hilarious lines: "Aaj ka
kaam kal karo, kal ka kaam parson; Itni jaldi kya hai beta, jab jeena
hai barson."
I also loved his cameo in Deewaar (1975).

His role in Barsaat Ki Raat should also be remembered.
But the most I remember him is for the exquisite Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
qawwaali of Naakhudaa, "alii alii maulaa alii alii...", filmed on him and
another actor. RMIMers should note that this was the first qawwaalii of
UNFAK included in a Hindi film, the credit for which goes to Yash Chopra.

Wasn't it in Golmaal that he (played a character who) had that
disgusting nasal hair habit? It's probably not a nice thing to
say about one who has recently passed away (and one whose
acting I sincerely did enjoy immensely), but I could never
disassociate that image from his face.

was that from angoor?
However I agree with UVR the role that springs to mind is the golmaal
one and for some strange reason the corrupt employee that he played in
trishul.
may his soul rest in peace.

Yes, I remember this movie with Raj Kiran and Swarup Sampat. It has
some good songs. IIRC the MD was Khaiyyam. As far as credit for
introducing UNFAK goes, I saw an interview of Pooja Bhatt some time
ago, when she elaborated on how the Bhatts introduced all of these
popular voices..To her credit, they did introduce somebody by the name
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and a few others.

It was truly shocking to heard about Yunusbhai's demise. I recently happened
to see Trishul, where Yunus plays Bhandari. In recent times his cameos that
comes to mind is the truck driver in QSQT when he tries to fleece Amir Khan
in order to kidnap Juhi Chawla. He was also seen in Dariya Dil as the
caretaker of ashram and a rich businessman who strikes a deal with Kader
Khan in Baap Numbri, Beta Dus Numbri. There was also a song picturised on
him where he is a boatsman. IIRC, it was Maanjhi Naiyya Dhoonde Kinaara. In
recent times he had stopped acting in plays altogether although films were
ok. He was associated with IPTA, I think.

As you most likely already know, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is a nephew of UNFAK.
He is now continuing the legacy of UNFAK, albeit with almost entirely new
crew of musicians.
The Bhatt camp can take the credit for introducing his voice into Hindi
films, alright, with "laagii tumse man kii lagan..." in Paap. He does have
a good voice, but comes nowhere close to his uncle.

Happy Listenings.
