something of someone else and don't pinch your own conscience.
SLRRINDER SINGH SARNA (Rawalpindi)
Would you please dissect a woman's soul for me? Willingly. Bring one along if you can find.
In what respect is the woman superior to man ? She is glazed while he is rugged.
B. MEGHESWARA DEV (Vizianagram)
A critic should dwell upon the good points rather than emphasize the defects of a picture ?
That won't be criticism. It will be an advertisement of the picture which our producers write without the help of the critics. Criticism is an evaluation of both and in an industry which has more imperfections than good points, the critic cannot help but leave behind an impression that the defects have been enlarged and elaborated upon in a critique. In our film industry good points have to be located with the help of the microscope.
M E. DINKAR RAO (Madras)
What is the contribution of our film industry to the War Fund ?
The film industry has given more than its blood to the recent war. It constantly contributes 40% of all its earnings to the different taxes of the Government and has lost nearly a crore of mpees in producing stupid propaganda pictures.
What is Yakub doing in this strange dress ? But there he is at one of the mythological heroes in "Subhadra" directed by K. Winayak.
Shobha — one of the many new ones in Filmistan — brings to the screen a new face in "Safar", a social story.
RAM DAYAL KHANNA (Benares)
What is your opinion about the aim: "Eat, drink and be merry ?"
That is the universal aim towards which humanity is struggling through labour, flattery, hatred and bloodshed. It is not an easy goal to reach.
R. G. DAMANI (Bikaner)
Who is the better music-director between Naushad and Anil Biswas ?
With their recent work in mind, I am inclined to like Naushad.
K. R. RANG I AH (Secunderabad) ..
Did you ever visit hell in your dreams ?
A dream is an opportunity for the glimpse of heaven. It is an escape from the hell which life ordinarily is. Why should I take hell to my dreamland ?
PANNA LAL GUPTA (Sidhpura)
Is variety as much the spice of wife among Indian actors as among the Hollywood ones ?
Indian actors haven't even that much versatile talent to find a new expression in their domestic life.
R. R. AGARWAL (Moradabad) Can a widow be called a 'Miss'?
Why not, seeing that she misses something and is still young enough to become a 'Mrs.' once again ?
