FILMINDIA May Beautiful Madhuri will be on the screen after a long time in "Shadi" a Ranjit picture. Amritsar circulating by thousands "Radhika" currency notes. Doesn't this procedure lower the prestige of and shake one's faith in the regular tender? If it does, what is the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India doing? He must criminally prosecute these offenders and issue a press communique warning the other would-be offenders. Will the C. I. D. investigate this matter seriously and stop this nonsense? This colourable imitation of a legal tender also points out to criminally inclined people, how very easy it is to print counterfeit notes. Does that not provide an incentive to crime? Are the authorities there only to punish crime and not to prevent it? The police will secure a more social purpose to their existence if they prevent crime. We have the original of the "Radhika" currency note with us and it is at the disposal of the authorities whenever they want it. THANKS! A. I. R. DELHI!

For, the other day, on the I April, I heard a beautiful broadcast of the film "Pi produced by the National Studios. The commentator had summzirised the story b( tifully and punctuated it with suitable songs (on cordsJ from the film. The man just gave the story not his opinion and left the listeners to judge th for themselves. I cannot think of a more sensible procedure ir controversial subject like a film or a stage dr which reacts differently on different people at the s time. 1 congratulate the Delhi Station for this enterpi It is a beautiful compromise that doesn't commit A.I.R. in any way and it helps to make our films pular. If the other stations can emulate this example give us two story summaries with songs every mo the producers will have nothing to complain about AN EXPLANATION NECESSARY It is now known to all that under the recomm( ation of the Film Advisory Board, the Customs auth Ishwarlal, smiling and gay as ever, graces the sc again in "Shadi," a Ranjit picture. 8
