We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

R. E. Mamujee (Mombasa^
Who scores more in film music : Bombay Talkies or National Studios?
Bombay Talkies have been consistently giving popular film music. Some of their song records have gone into six-figure sales. National Studios haven't been able to achieve that. How is your Rita?
Fine, thanks. She is not mine. So don't repeat it next time.
S. S. Raman (Kadiri)
Who is this Veena appearing in your magazine so often?
i>he is a favourite artiste of National Studios. Her own name is Nur Jehan and she first came from Lucknow to work under Director Nanda about six years back. After working in a couple of pictures, she toured the country for some time and is back again for screen work. She distinguishes herself in vampish roles, like the one she played in "Kasauti".
Nowadays we don't have any information about New Theatres pictures. What has become of them?
I really do not know. I once tried to get some
information but I couldn't gather anything reliable.
I want Miss Rose's photo for my album. How am I to get it?
Write to her: Rose Musleah. Keval Mahal, Marine Drive, Bombay. And if she has one handy, she is not the one to refuse. She has given them by hundreds to her fans. Has Mr. Motilai left Ranjit?
tie can not afford to at present and you will oe seeing him in Ranjit pictures for a long time to come.
Amirali A. Dhala (Kuria)
I find that you appreciate Ranjit pictures which are usuaily foolish. How is that?
i try to keep pace with the millions who see them. That is one way of selling a film magazine
M. L. Narayanrao (Bangalore)
So far I thought that "filmindia" was meant only for films. Was that thesis on marriage in the Septemoer issue necessary in "filmindia"?
li was. Don't we snow these social problems in our films? Marriage is such a vital problem that the different facets of this institution must oe discussed not only in films but also in different media. Do you think that a film magazine is not. the right medium for discussing some social problems of our present day life? I think, with the vast nation-wide circulation of "filmindia", a social problem gets a better platform in this magazine than in otner sectional and class magazines with tiny circulations.
Miss Singh (Lahore)
i am anxious to get a big autographed photo of r-iaseem. How can I get itt
•■Write to Naseem Banu at Worli Sea Face, Bombay and as your reauest will go to her home, I am sure she will not turn it down. If you want special recommendation, mention "filmindia".
Rama Shukul has something attractive to tease in Shamim in "The Guest" a Ranjit picture.
