cial classic called "Man", starring Sardar Akhtar and the six-foot-odd Sheik Mukhtar.

By the time this issue is in hand the long awaited "Padosi" is likely to be on the screen in Bombay and Poona. One can never be sure of the exact releasing date of a Prabhat picture, as the same is always being promised and put off from d?y to day. While this procedure causes a lot of disappointment, the producers think that it creates a keener interest in the picture. Anyway, a Prabhat picture is worth waiting for whenever it comes.
With the new glamour queen Jayshee, radiating her vibrant personality, tne Marathi version of "Padosi" proinises to provide a rare treat to lovers of romantic girls. On the other hand the dove-like Anis keeps the home-fires burning with her scintillating charm and melodious music in the Hindi version.
Altogether "Padosi" will not be seen because of these two irresis
tible charmers, but because it is a pic'.ure of Prab'hat, given by India's greatest director, Shantaram.
With its political stormy waters, India needs to-day a picture like "Padosi" with its unm.istakable message of reconciliation and love. It is a picture which the country can't afiord to miss.
The next picture to go on the sets is a socio-mythological story on the life of a woman saint of Maharashtra "Sant Sakhu" which will be directed by that famous pair of directors Messrs. Damle and Fatehlal.
Rumours are current in the town that Prabhat intends to postpone the production of "Omar Khayyam". Evidently these rumour-mongers presume to know more about Prabhat than the producer himself. While these rumours are baseless, the final script stage for "Omar Khayyam" has been reached already and the story is now being written in dialogues. Sometime in the month of March the picture will be rehearsed and the shooting will begin in April.

As is usual with Director Modhu Bose who seems to compete with Director Shantaram in delaying pictures, "Raj-Nartaki" did not come to the screen during the Christmas week as was previously expected. In fact all the versions, and they are three, Hindi, Bengali and English, have been held up and Modhu is busy with the editing.
The studio news says that "Sadhona has re-discovered in herself an accomplished actress as well." We cannot understand what this means but Sadhona was always considered to have had enough acting talent to be in the movies. If she has re-discovered herself, people will be anxious to see what she has found.
"Raj-Nartaki," however, will bring to the Hindi screen a new glamour girl known as Protima Das Gupta. If she will be half as charming in the picture as she is in life, she is going to give some new thrills to our screen fans.
