FILMINDIA December 1938 the Super Talkies. With Bimla Kumari, Nayampally and others cast in an interesting story this picture of Mr. Bhavnani is likely to win the appreciation of the cine going public. JAYA BHARAT MOVIETONE: "Shareef Dakoo" a stunt picture directed by G. R. Setty is now ready for the screen. With Padmadevi and Navinchandra in the lead, the producers expect a good reception for it on release. POONA SARAS WATI CINETONE: Under the direction of Mr. Chowdhary, beautiful outdoor scenes have been shot at Benares of their present social picture under production called "It's True". As the picture is expected to be completed by the middle of December advance bookings have been effected all over the country and the producers are expected to release several copies simultaneously to satisfy this demand. As a social theme, giving side lights on untouchability, "It's True" is going to be one of those rare social pictures which are always remembered by the people for a long time. With Motilal and Rose in the lead, the picture has the requisite pulling power for the boxoffice. Director Nanasaheb Sarpotdar is shooting "Bhagwa Zenda" a historical subject of the times when the Marathas fought for their freedom. PRABHAT FILM CO.: By the time this is in press Director Narayan Kale's second effort "My Son" should be on the screen at the Central Talkies. Director Shantaram has at last completed the scenario of his new picture, the story of which has been written very intelligently by Mr. A. Bhasker Rao, who is the head of their Story Department. Shanta Apte is expected to star in the picture and the shooting will probably begin sometime in the month of January after a month of rehearsals. Particular congratulations are due to Mr. Bhasker Rao for getting his screen story Ok'd by a famous director whose discriminating taste in such matters is already wellknown. KOLHAPUR HUNS PICTURES: "Devata", a story written by Mr. Khandekar should have arrived in Bombay ere long. But things do go wrong and terribly so in picture production with the result that "Devata" will be seen on the screen in the month of January. In a wonderfully original plot, Mr. Baburao Pendharkar, has for the first time worked as the hero. There seems to be no limit to the versatile talents of this superb artiste who takes up any role that comes his way and gives a psychologically perfect portrayal every time. Director Vinayak who is directing this picture is reported to have gone one better than "Brahmachari" which picture is now breaking all records which Maharashtra could previously claim.
