Our Review
Bravo! Kishore Sahu, Bravo!
India Artists Make A Brilliant Debut
" Bahurani " Scores In Quality
Kishore Sahu has given a brilliant picture in "Bahurani". As a maiden production it is an excellent beginning for India Artists Ltd. Many of our aged producers would like to end where India Artists have begun in their enterprising career of production. So high is the standard of quality of "Bahurani" that one almost doubts whether the producers will be able to maintain the same intellectual level in their future productions— or will also fall a prey to the indecent lure of the box-office and lose sight of the
higher purpose of picture production—for the social and cultural progress of the nation.
Kishore Sahu has fulfilled his promise and how gloriously has he done it; — not only by giving us a truly beautiful picture but by backing it with his own performance which for its restraint and dignity will take a lot to be beaten.
AN ELOQUENT THEME
In the theme of the picture is centred the main appeal to the intellectuals. Through ages the Hindu society or for that matter all human society, has condemned the

KISHORE SAHU
Man made laws established their own standards of virtue but the laws made during the day could not justify human sins committed during the night.
Through ages, the wages of sin have been unwillingly paid by the bastard child. And the sinner has always escaped. Remorse has often struck the sinning parents but no relief was ever offered to the child who inherited the legacy of social ostracism and the odium of a bastard lineage.
For the first time on the Indian screen, this burning human problem has been vividly picturised by the producers in defiance of orthodoxy and the guardian fossils
of society. To"
this extent the brave enterprise junnarkar of India Artists deserves admiration and praise.
