Screen Play: (By Devaki Bose).
A beautiful scenario is responsible for the harmonious and almost poetic presentation of this story. Devaki Bose as a writer has surpassed himself in giving to us an almost perfect picture this time. It is easily the best he has produced so far.
Language: (Hindi) (By Kedar Sharma) :
Beautiful dialogues which fit in with the situations spread all over the picture, lend to it a distinction which very few of our present day pictures possess.
Music: (By R. C. Boral) :
Boral has once again done the trick by providing a splendid fare to music lovers. Popular and classic tunes vie with each other for applause. The background music, being subtle and soothing, is uncannily appropriate in certain situations.
Photography: (By Yusuf Mulji):
Enterprising and soothing to the eye.
Recording: (By Loken Bose) :
Quite distinct and praiseworthy.
Laboratory: (By Subodh Ganguly) :
Almost perfect.
Editing: (By Subodh Mitter) :
Good throughout, but admirable in the last reel.

set himself, was dissipated to a great extent owing to the limitations of Pahari Sanyal. Not that Pahari Sanyal had not given his honest best, but it is simplv not in him to become Devaki Babu's "Vidyapati". Devaki Babu has begun where several directors would like to end. And after "Vidyapati" even I, cynic, critic and what not that I am called, will admit Devaki Bose as truly a great director.
"Vidyapati" is a poem of art written on the canvas of life with a blazing philosophy of eternal love. In bringing "Vidyapati" to the screen Devaki Babu has given to it a new soul.
Here's a beautiful still from "Gopal Krishna" a Prabhat Picture.
