Venkatrao A. Hattiholi (Kolhapur)
Is Director Winayak one of the best directors in India?
One of the second best to-day, though at one time he almost threatened to compete with the best. The value of a director fluctuates with the quality of his work mnd recently Winayak has been making more ofien a fool of himself than otherwise. When 1 say tills I have his last picture in mind — "Amrit".

I want to know the home address of Leela Chitnis?
It's no use, boy. C. R. Gvalani is always there and he is moreover, her husband.
R. K. Varma (Drug)
Have you seen any picture more than a dozen times?
Excepting "Khazanchi" I have not seen any picture twice. The first time I saw "Khazanchi" to review it. Six months later, I saw it again to find out what exactly was wrong with it seeing that it was breaking all previous box office records. I also saw a number of producers and directors noting down the mistakes of "Khazanchi" for repetition in their own pictures.

There are so many stars nowadays and some of them are not even stars. They are like "planets" — is it not, Mr. Patel? And the planets think you are a "Saturn"! H'm!
H'm. lad. Aren't you very clever? You must be surprising even your parents. Do you? Where the hell did you learn astronomy? Really, they should call you the Mangalorian Newton.
Miss Susheela Wagle (Bombay)

Why should they? There are enough chances enough money and enough boys seeing the small number of girls working in this industry.
