Under Sardar Chandulal Shah's unsparing captaincy, this studio becomes a huge bee-hive of activity. From day to day new pictures are released and launched and still new ones are being discussed and put on the anvil. It is a non-stop business of production which beats the very mathematics of the box-office.
"Dhandhora" directed by Charlie has been released at the Royal Opera House and is reported to have collected record figures during the first week. After "Dhandhora" will come "The Guest" directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi and featuring Madhuri, Shamim and Rama Shukul. But what Director ChaturbhuJ Doshi seems proud of in advance, during his accidental restaurant meetings, is his new picture called "Dhiraj" which, he says, is really going to be a unique social picture because of its theme and dynamic action. Pandit Indra, of course, confirms this opinion and he has written the songs for the picture.
"Beti" by Director Jayant Desal has been completed and is also awaiting release. With Khursheed and Vasanti as the main attraction of the picture, "Beti" is also likely to be as successful as "Shadi".
