No. Not only that Shama/Sushma Publications has been out of business
and closed for a while.

I remember reading several issues of this film Magazine in 40's. The
editor had fallen out with the film director Mahboob and always gave a
poor review of his films. But the readers knew better. The
publication may have ended in 1960 !

My cousin was a collector of these magazines and film posters till
1947. Where are they now ! There must be the collectors and
collections in India; so do not lose hope.

I have been wondering about this for a long time. I know they went out of business some years ago but surely the old copies must be archived somewhere? In some library? It was a very good risala with some good journalism. I would love to know where to read old copies as I read this regularly in the old days.

I have good memories of this magazine as well further its publication of "Khilona" Delhi which had its caption: Aath(8) sal se Assi(80) sal k bachon ka risala. No doubt the Dehlvi Brothers served Urdu language and its cause in India.Many famous writers/litterateurs of the era used to contribute their short stories in these magazines.These magazines were available in my city Gujranwala.I also subscribed to Khilona Delhi through bank draft till the supply was banned due to Indo-Pak war.Anyhow the magazines had a trend setting history in film & literature.The regular reader of Shama or Khilona can not forget late Krishan Chander's stories in both these mags like "Gaddhe ki sarghuzasht/Ulta Darkht, Chidion ki Alf-laila and Gaddhe ki wapsi etc.These memories are still in my mind to recapitulate...Any reader to share his views or memories in this regard WELCOME..Even "Bisween Saddi" Delhi by Khushtar Graami left an historic record of short stories.Thanks

بچپن میں میرا پسندیدہ رسالہ "کھلونا" ہوا کرتا تھا جو آٹھ سے اسی سال کے بچوں کا رسالہ کہلاتا تھا-اس رسالے کا سالنامہ تو بے حد حسین اور یادگار ہوتا تھا۔ نسطور جن کی کہانی (کارٹون) اور مانو بلی کے کارنامے میرے تصور میں سدا کے لئےرچ بس گئے ہیں۔
ذرا بڑی ہوئی تو "بانو" پسند آنے لگا۔ اس کی قسط وار کہانیاں "ایک بلی" اور "ایک روح" کو یاد کرکے آج بھی ڈر لگتا ہے۔
پھر "شمع" کی پروانہ بنی۔ واجدہ تبسم، جیلانی بانو، بشریٰ رحمٰن، اور بھی کئی مشہور ادبی شخصیتوں کے افسانے پڑھنا میرا پہلا شوق تھا۔
"شبستان" ڈائجسٹ بھی دہلوی گروپ سے شائع ہوتا تھا۔ اس کے کسی شمارے میں میرا اپنا تخلیق کردہ سب سے پہلا اور با تصاویر مضمون "میسور میں دسہرا" شائع ہوا تھا۔ اس وقت جو خوشی ملی تھی اسے الفاظ کا جامہ پہنانا میرے لئے آج بھی ناممکن ہے۔ لیکن افسوس، نہ وہ شمارہ میرے پاس محفوظ ہے اور نہ وہ سن ہی یاد ہے۔ صرف یادیں باقی ہیں۔

Sadia Dehlvi was born in Delhi in 1957. Her grandfather was Yusuf Dehlvi and father is Yunus Dehlvi who lived in Shama Ghar on Sardar Patel Road, in New Delhi where she was born.[citation needed] The one-time cultural hub of Delhi, today it houses Bahujan Samaj Party headquarters, (since 2002).[3][4]

In April 2009 Dehlvi published a book on Sufism entitled Sufism: The heart of Islam published by HarperCollins Publishers, India.[5] Her second book, The Sufi Courtyard: Dargahs of Delhi, detailing Delhi's Sufi history was also published by HarperCollins, India and released in February 2012.

She edited Bano an Urdu women's journal for the Shama Group, which published Shama an Urdu literary and film monthly. It eventually closed in 1987.[6]

Dehlvi was a close friend and confidante of the late author Khushwant Singh. Singh's book Not a Nice Man to Know was dedicated to her. He wrote, "To Sadia Dehlvi, who gave me more affection and notoriety than I deserve." Singh's book, Men and Women in my Life includes an entire chapter on her and the cover has her photo. In 1998, Dehlvi produced a television show, Not a Nice man to Know with Khushwant Singh interviewing women from various fields.

Dehlvi won acclaim for her television series starring the veteran actress Zohra Sehgal Amma and Family. Dehlvi co-produced and scripted the series, also playing one of the main roles.

Dehlvi died on 5 August 2020.

INote: If anyone has the ability and willingness to Collect Old Issues of 'SHAMA' magazine
it will be REKHTA. They have done great job in making available MANTO's short
stories which were written in Urdu into Devnagri script (Prior to that almost all books
featuring his stories in Hindi script were translations
