Yes, if you get yourself wrapped up in celluloid and some one sets fire to it. Or if you get wrapped up with a sweet looking heroine. Then it is more dangerous.
Is Mr. Jagannath Patel your brother?
More than that! He is a god father "filmindia".

From: G. R. Bagalkote (Bezwada).
I want a short biography of Vishnupant Pagnis.
Vishnupant Pagnis, born in "Tukaram", now on oxygen, Rest after "Tulsidas".
From: Murtiza Ali (Patna).
Don't you think that "Gopal Krishna" is a propaganda picture — propaganda against cow-killing which is intelligently and glaringly stressed throughout the film.
What, if it is? Don't you think that the cow which is the only animal which replaces the missing mother of an orphan should live to give life to millions of unfortunate babies. With her milk the cow gives life to human beings. Don't you worry, the bulls are left alone in the picture and the cows will not be missed even if people stop killing them.
Who is going to direct Ranjit's "Sant Tulsidas"?
One Mr. Jayant Desai. I dare say, you have heard of him. Recently he directed "Prithvi Putra" another Ranjit picture.
From: M. C. Menon (Aruppukottai).
Director Shantaram wants 3000 theatres. How is it possible for an exhibitor to live after paying the South Indian Distributor 60/65 per cent, with to and fro travelling expenses for two representatives and Rs. 1-8-0 per day as "bhatta". We are losing every day.
Don't pay the distributor more than 50%. Agitate and form an exhibitors' union. Unite and strike. Teach the exhibitor to respect your wishes. Don't pay the representative who is sent to spy on you. Don't give him any board and lodging. Starve him. The producer needs you as much as you need his picture. The distributor, unless he is the gentlemanly type, is merely a creation of circumstances and an Instrument of the financiers.
TO THE READERS:
I receive a very large number of letters every month and it is not possible for me to reply to all of them. So I select those which are interesting for replies. Some readers are kind enough to enclose return postage for personal replies. For a busy Editor it is impossible to give individual replies and I have to request my readers not to waste postal stamps. Some of the readers have sent me lawyer's notices, demanding an explanation for my silence over their queries. To those I advise, leaving "filmindia" alone, in this state of frenzy.
