" Entertaining, Edifying, Remarkable, Powerful"
The "TIMES OF INDIA" Editorially Reviews Circo's Splendid Film " Geeta " Fine Acting By Chandramohan & Durga Khote # Director Altekar's Brilliant Achievement.
"... .Circo Productions' powerful Society drama 'Geeta' promises to be the BIGGEST BOX-OFFICE proposition The RT. HON. M. R JAYAKAR, presiding at the premiere, remarked that he had found the picture both entertaining and edifying — an opinion that is being ENDORSED in the only way that matters, with PACKED HOUSES. Mr Altekar who directed the picture, which deserves to be described as remarkable, has made a brilliant job of it. Not only has he handled with FINE INSPIRATION AND CONSUMMATE art, a STORY TENSE WITH DRAMATIC power but he has INJECTED the PHILOSOPHY of THE GEETA into the delineation thereof with an UNDERSTANDING that betokens deep study of that work and with an UNOBTRUSIVENESS that ENHANCES THE EFFECT. With BRILLIANT
use of MONTAGE, Mr. Altekar has condensed terrific power into the sequences. The PRODUCTION VALUES are ADMIRABLE— scenes settings, costumes, mounting music, songs, dialogues— all COMBINING IN HARMONY and proportion. PHOTOGRAPHY AND SOUND are of a standard that LEAVE NOTHING TO BE DESIRED. The message of the Geeta or rather ITS APPLICATION TO LIFE TO-DAY IS INGENIOUSLY brought in the story which is built around the LIVES
OF A WOMAN, her husband and her two sons
Chandramohan, playing the DOUBLE role, puts over a MAGNIFICENT performance VIRILE and IMPRESSIVE
Durga Khote gives one of the MOST MOVING and
finest performances of the Indian Screen...."
