PILMlNDlA January, t^t, the last twenty years. Sardar Patel's voice is the Nation's Voice and those foreigners who are at present hatching plans to invade the Indian film industry may well stop, look and listen in their own interest. Foreigners have no place in Free India as competitors and exploiters. Sardar Patel's warning seems to have come in good time seeing that only recently when the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association pointing out to the Government the competitive activities of some British and Russian producers in dubbing their productions in Hindustani prayed for protection, the Government, by their letter dared the 9th November, replied as follows: "The Government have given careful consideration to the matter but regret that in the existing circumstances they are unable to interfere in the matter." On the other hand, the Bureau of Public Information in the Department of Information and Broadcasting of the Government of India has been acting as a publicity exchange for British fi'm interests, seeing that all newspapers and periodicals in the country are regularly posted with weekly publicity dope about British films with a wellworded request to print this stuff. Very soon we shall be rid of this nuisance, for, poor Indians won't have enough postage money to circulate British films. All the money we have we shall need to feed our 400 millions who have been wanting a good meal for the last 200 years. Let us all pray and fight for FREE INDIA, just as the British people did for their little island. Sushila Rani and Baburao Patel usually do not attend premieres, but they could not escape "Veer Kunal" premiere with Sardar Vallabhbhai inaugurating the picture. 4 RAJ RANI Jluclcy ^fdm5 ' THREE MEMORABLE SENSATIONAL THRILLERS NISHAN A 19 WITH NAVIN CHANDRA ft SADIQ ft MANNAN & RAZI KHOON I WITH NAVIN CHANDRA ft NAWAZ ft MANNAN SABTAN & ARVIND KUMAR PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY:— K.
