"nirdosh" Fails To Be Popular
Director Virendra's Disappointing Picture
Waste Of Money And Energy
After seeing "Nirdosh" carefully. I feel that it would, indeed, be a concession to the film industry if directors like Virendra Desai ate not given future assignments for some time to come to conserve our resources in raw stock in these war times.
In normal times no one would object to a few expensive experiments indulged in by producers' sons but during the present times expensive experiments like "'Nirdosh" constitute a stupid waste of money, raw materials and energy.
The National Studios Ltd. which is a public limited company is expected to be more careful with its production programmes than a privately owned concern, for the simple reason that the directors of the National Studios are trustees of public funds invested in good faith and with complete faith in the people who manage the affairs.
"Nirdosh" hardly provides any evidence of good management in production, as. right from the be
ginning, the picture becomes a senseless mess of wrong presentation, poor direction, technical imperfection and incorrect casting.

picture. It has the usual Cindrella theme in which a poor persecuted step-daughter of a family has pleasant escapades which ultimately result in her landing the proverbial prince charming.
To provide pathos to the life-story of the Cindrella in the picture a couple of unconvincing hussies are added as step-sisters and between them and the formidable step-mother several stupid situations have been concocted to impress the audience. All the situations, however, fail miserably for one reason or other.
The direction of the picture is utterly unimaginative and disgustingly poor. Even the costume continuity is not maintained.
Nalini Jaywant as the Cindrellaheroine gives a trained dance at the very first opportunity. One would like to know where this girl had learnt that if she was leading a Cindrella life in the midst of stepsisters who made her do all the house-hold work. The director has not made even an attempt to train her. He has taken things for granted.
