November 1942 Vasanti and Sitara team together in "Dukh Sukh" a social picture of Ranjit. Raj N. Karpatre (Gaya) Why do the editors of other cine-journals envy your luck? Aren't you journalists believers in "Brotherhood"? Journalists belong to the community of hungry wolves. They live on one another. They preach 'fraternity'' to others but practise 'â– fratricide" among themselves. I am not a journalist and I don't worry about their envy. I am in business and I can't afford to lose my temper because some wild wolf raises a howl in the wilderness, goaded by his own starvation. Shewak M. Ramchandrani (Mirpurkhas) I heard the sweet voice of Sushila Rani on the 4th of September on the air and believe me I have never heard a girl so sweet. You are telling me? Don't I know It? My misfortune is that I don't get a chance to hear her music, because whenever I request for it, she gets a sore throat. Anyway, let us all hear her music, on the 8th November, the Divali Day, and she is going to usher in the Divali for the A LU. with a special Divali song. Ananda Gopal Bannerjee (Katihar) Nothing is heard about New Theatres. What has happened to them? // anything had happened to them, we would have heard. The trouble with our producers is that nothing ever happens to them or with them. FILM1NDIA B. D. Garga (Lahore) Why don't our directors pay some attention towards sex-appeal? They do and too much personal attention with the result that the girls have no sex-appeal left to be presented on the screen. They have only sex to show but no appeal. Jaswant Singh (Agra) What is your opinion about keeping moustaches? / have no opinion as I haven't the goods with me. Write to: Russi Karanjia, Editor of the "Blitz'', Fort, Bombay. He sports a Persian fur moustache and must be having ideas about it. Strangely enough, with that moustache, he Is the President of the Progressive Group in Bombay. N. B. Mohanty (Cuttack) Please give a short life-sketch of Kaushalya? She is not yet old enough for a life-sketch. You will have to wait a couple of years more. I am sure she will be able to manage interesting details by then, Chandrika Prasad Verma (Chapra) What is the deciding factor for the success of a film? tn any other country but India, I would say a Mazhar Khan gives a powerful portrayal as a horseshoesmith in "Yad'\ 35
