D. Abdul Ghani (Bellary)
Is Vasanti a damsel?
Yes, but not yet in distress.
Watu H. Gursahaney (Hyderabad)
I have heard that Jayashree is' married and her husband is a director in Prabhat. What is the name of her husband?
I wonder whether you will recognise him. He is rather an unknown man. But I'll tell you his name. It is V. Shantaram. Have you heard of him?
B. P. Beohar (Singhpur)
When is "Raj Nartaki", in English, going to be released?
Probably in the first week of October at the Metro Cinema in Bombay.
R. Saran (Benares)
Why does Shantaram select new and inexperienced actors for his pictures?
Because it is easier to teach them. Even Chandjramohan learned with him,
Syed K. A Shah (Phulera)
Do you think Charlie loves Shamim?
Quite likely. The problem, however, is whether she feels that way about him or not.
K. Md. Ebrahim (Balehonnur)
A girl friend of mine is very fine and beautiful. She is very anxious to join the films. What shall I do for her?
Give her my address. You can not do better than that.
L. C. Mathur (Meerut)
Don't you think that in "Padosi", the only mistake of Shantaram was Anis Khatoon?
No, there was another one, and a beautiful one,
in "Shejari" — Jayshree.
B. R. Vijayanarayan (Hassan Town)
A teacher of ours says that we should not read "filmindia". Why?
Probably, he is jealous. "filmindia" teaches more than that stupid teacher of yours. The traditional stupidity of our teachers is responsible for half the evils of the present world. If Hitler had had a good teacher, he would not indulge in mass murder to-day.
Nothing is heard about Director Kardar. What has happened to him?
He, himself, does not know what has happened to him. He seems to be lost in the Circo Circle and they pay him to remain there.
No one likes to see Sheik Mukhtar this way, but we don't mind Sitara in "Roti". This picture of Mehboob is going
to make many people hungry to see Sitara.
