"Bandhan" Becomes B Beautiful Picture
Sweet Music Makes Sweeter Entertainment
Producer Mukherjee's Brilliant Tribute To The Memory Of
His Great Master
"Beautiful Bandhan" is the final verdict of fans and critics alike. "Beautiful Bandhan" — in those two words is symbolised the brilliant tribute of Producer S. Mukherjee to the memory of the late Mr. Himansu Rai. A son could not have done more for a father than this disciple has done for his guru.
He has carried on the splendid traditions of his late Master and in doing so kept the Bombay Talkies at the top where it belongs.
Here is a glorious example of what discipline and training combined with honesty of purpose can do in the field of film production.
In "Bandhan'* Himansu Rai is not forgotten. He is remembered more to-day than ever before. His "boys" have carried further the good work he once began and how proud must be the spirit of the
father who gave his life for the institution he gave birth to.

What is good and outstanding in "Bandhan"? I would answer that
S. Mukherjee, the producer of "Bandhan"
by asking another. What is not good about it?
"Bandhan" is a picture with an indefinable charm. It hypnotizes you with happiness and when you wake up, a pleasant memory of a short and beautiful dream lingers in your mind and you feel like going through that experience again and perhaps again.
That is why "Bandhan" is beautiful and Us undefinable beauty can not be framed as beautifully in words as it has been done with art in celluloid.
SIMPLE VILLAGE ROMANCE
The story is simple and simply told. Beautiful Beena-Leela Chitnis— the daughter of a village Zamindar does not like the new youthful village headmaster, because her brother Ram talks such a lot about him.
Then one day she meets him and falls in love with him. The headmaster— Ashok Kumar — reciprocates that love with equal sincerity. The story now takes a too familiar turn and introduces a scheming father and his son Suresh — Shah Nawaz — an England-returned product peculiar by his superficial sheen of civilization. Suresh is marked for marrying Beena to inherit the wealth of her father.
