The Mumbai Film Festival has cancelled its planned screenings of A.J. Kardar’s “Day Shall Dawn” (aka “Jago Hua Savera”), reports Variety. The 1958 Pakistani film had previously been selected and announced as part of the festival’s retrospectives section. As the outlet notes, no announcement of the programming decision was posted on Mami’s festival website, and the website currently does not include any reference to “Jago Hua Savera.”
“Given the current situation, the Jio Mami 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star has decided not to programme ‘Jago Hua Savera’ as part of the Restored Classics Section,” the festival said in a brief statement that was sent to Indian media and shared with Variety.

This landmark film about Bengali fisherfolk fighting to survive in a world of hunger and loan sharks is finally getting its due
Row me away, boatman
I am but a cloud
Above a river of woes
All alone
In the dark night...
Without a homeland

Sung sweetly over the melancholic tones of an Indian flute, these alternately bleak and hopeful lines encapsulate the condition of South Asia’s long-suffering rural proletariat. Penned by revolutionary poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz and paired with the exquisite cinematography of German-born British cameraman Walter Lassally, they make for a memorable opening to Pakistan’s first serious attempt at modernist cinematic realism: Day Shall Dawn (Jago Hua Savera).
