FAULTY TECHNICAL WORK
Several scenes in the picture are realistically directed and disp'ay the art and experience of Jayant Desai Aware of the flimsy phantastic background behind the coincidental resemblance between Chandni and Devi, Jayant Desai has succeeded in helping the audience to forget this artificial aspect cf the story during several pathetic sequences through which Devi goes. Had Jayant Desai got a story, more true-to-life, perhaps he would have given us an unforgettab'e picture.
Khurshid is exceiient throughout hi her performance, though the music does not help her much this time. I am afra d Khemchand Prakash has reached the bottom of his stock, the tunes in this picture being too ordinary.
Ishwarlal as "Vasant" lives up 10 his old record and so does Dix t in the role of Nathu Patel.
Baby Kamla's dance is too jerky to be appreciated. Her jerky neck rolls make one burst out into a derisive laughter. And her dance was put in there because some one told Jayant Desai that Baby Kamla could dance "marvellously' , not because the story required ;t.
[ was a lot disappointed with the technical work of the picture I found the photography definitely indifferent and was she eked to see a e'ever and experienced cameraman 1 ke Krishna Gopal not being able to shoot double-exposure shots with care and precision.
The sound recording is also not satisfactcry — the words of Khurshid's songs not being clearly heard.
The technical work in recent p ctures of Ran jit has degenerated considerably and I commend this observation to the urgent attention of Sardar Chandulal Shah. The Ranjit technical staff needs an overhaul.
