F I LM I N D I A From: Mohamed Husain (Amalner) Baburao Pendharker is always being cast with Meenakshi. By the way what is at the back of all this? Have you not yet seen "Brahmachari" and "Bottle of Brandy"? From: K. S. Sudham (Bangalore) I think that the chief impediment in the progress of our Film Industry is the lack of co-operation and organisation. Why should not our prosperous producers join together and devise ways and means to further our Film Industry, which has a bright future? All the producers should forget petty differences and work on a common platform. This will prove to be a high tariff wall and our people will be encouraged to see more and more Indian Pictures. What is your view? All dreams come true some day. If you are young you may live to see the miracle of producers co-operating with each other for the good of the industry and the country. I don't think I will live to see the happy day. Do our artistes receive fair treatment at the hands of the Producer? Yes. The fair artistes receive fair treatment.
