August 1540 FILM INDIA K. V. Hannurker (Raichur) During leisure hours what games are generally played by the actors and actresses? That depends on the environments in a studio. Cards and badminton are popular in some studios but in others there are plenty of games between a wink and a spooning. Are there any sportsmen among the film artistes? Oh yes! Motilal plays rummy and goes motoring for accidents. Surendra rides horses and finds himself in a hospital. Bibbo goes to the races and loses for fun. Shobhana Samarth plays tennis to get herself photographed. Chandramohan backs horses and makes thousands (according to him). Only we don't see them. Sohrab Mody goes hiking with his caravan of stars and collects caskets end addresses. Naseem goes motoring and meets a snake. Nadia doss deep-breathing — the result is obvious. Barua goes elephant-riding to tease the elephant. Madhuri goes in for new coiffures and looks funny. Mubarak practises cross-country running and adds more weight with every run. Meenaxi goes in for the swimming costume — the swimming part being beyond her. From the rest several suffer from occasional sexual coTistipaticm and go Ivng distance travelling to Ceylon and other places. The nearest favourite resort is a certain hospital in Santa Cruz. Oh, yes! And they are all sportsmanlike the way they take my criticism. Once Shantaram had announced that he would produce a picture in English? That was once upon a time. R. N.
