Hijazi On Screen
Three of Hijazi's novels have been dramatized. Akhri Chataan and Shaheen were dramatized in 1980s and were televised on Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) as independent drama serials. Akhri Chataan is considered to be the greatest historical fiction attempt ever made by PTV. The theme songs composed for the serial and the character play of Sultan Jalal ud-Din by Salim Nasir earned high acclaim.
The Novel Khaak aur Khoon was dramatized into a movie with the same name and is one of few blockbuster movies that Lollywood or Lahore film industry has ever produced.
