OUR REVIEW
Excellent Story Makes "Khan Daan" A Success Ibrahim Gives A Thrilling Performance
Dalsukh Pancholi Scores Again
This is another picture of Dalsukh Pancholi, the producer of "Khazanc'hi". And though it may not bring in a big gold mine like "Khazanchi", in many respects, it is a far better picture than "Khazanchi", except perhaps in presenting popular music.
"Khan Daan" marks an allround improvement in production values in the Pancholi pictures and we hope the future pictures will be even better than "Khan Daan".
"Khan Daan" has a story remarkably suitable for the screen, having suspense, pathos, entertainment, instruction and many other elements that contribute to a powerful drama.
After the first half hour, the picture starts moving fast to a climax through a variety of intensely dramatic situations till it reaches the grand climax, through the tears of the audience, in which Akbar, the central character of the story, dies in the arms of his son.

TELL US ANOTHER
In "Harijan" of the 3rd May 1942 an interview between Mahatma Gandhi and a press correspondent is reproduced.
_.i reply to one of the questions Mahatmaji said, "you will be surprised to hear that I have never listened in to a radio, nor have I ever been to a cinema."
The young correspondent was really amazed. "Do you think," he asked, "these things are bad?"
"I will not say so", replied Mahatmaji, "I may say that cinema films are often bad. About the radio, I do not know."
We dare not say that this votary of truth is telling a white lie, but we wonder how the old Saint of Sevagram can call a thing often bad when he has never seen it.
