does it run well if you run it manually? and have you read this?

consult cron's log /var/log/cron and check if you could find something

yes it running mannulay but not running as per my requirement.
can you please provide me the cron job statement which could run every 35 min .?

You already have one. Take a look at the FAQ link provided by Yogesh Sawant.

I think that it's difficult to schedule a job to run every 35 minutes, unless your cron supports the step ("/") operator.

The ">" in the cron will not capture error output.
If the script outputs an error you should see it in the unix mail for the owner of the cron.
