Colour Picture of India E, The Governor of Bombay & Lady Lumley •FFICES. writer has given a heart to the villain and the final sequences in the picture more or less glorify the 'goondas' of India. Bansari was a maid-servant in the house of the Zamindar who oppressed his tenants and robbed whenever opportunity presented. His wife Ramdai superbly acted by Zilloo resents this being religiously inclined. In the midst of several disturbing situations made interesting by suspense and pathos, the romance of Bansari and Ramu proceeds to one grand climax till Ramu is arrested on a false charge of murdering the Zamindar. Ramdai, the Zamindar's wife, knowing who had done the murder and realising that the innocent life of Ramu would be taken goes to Randhir. the villain, and pleads before him in the name of Bansari, the girl who is loved not only by Ramu but also by Randhir. The final climax is reached where Randhir with a bravado characteristic of him, confesses his guilt and Ramu is released. Subsequent scenes urge the necessity of village uplift and point out forcibly the duty of moneyed people towards the poor villagers of India. Bansari. the ideal Kisan girl of India is beautifully portrayed by Padmadevi. that Bengali artiste, who has reached the heights of stardom in several pictures before; while Gulam Mahomed as Randhir gives a superb performance of a villain with a heart. Capably directed by Mr. Moti B. Gidwani, 'Kisan Kanya" presents an enterprising picture with an elevating theme at once great and clever.
