BOMBAY TALKIES
Follow the crowds in the city and you will reach the Roxy where "Bandhan" is monopolising all the "hows in the town. The unique success of this picture has gladdened the hearts of all as people were anxious about the future of the Bombay Talkies, after the untimely death of its pioneer founder.
But "Bandhan" has proved that this concern is no longer a oneman show but a regular well-established institution which is destined to go on inspite of individuals.
"Narayani" the Devika picture which was scheduled to go into production immediately after "Bandhan" has been shelved for the present and another social one under the direct supervision of Mrs. Devika Rani has gone into production. Its name has not yet been decided, but it will feature Snehaprabha Pradhan and Kishore Sahu in the leading roles.
