FILMINDIA Ah, this deepens the Neena Mystery. I do not know whether what you say is true. By the way, has the French blood a different colour? KHADER SHERIFF (Bezwada) Many say that you are a selfish man because you always praise the man who pays you money. Never mind what many say. All must admit that it is difficult to sell abuse while praises sell themselves. How much of praise do you actually find in "filmindia" every month? The producers search for it with a microscope. DEWAN ( HANI) BANSAL (Delhi) I dropped a letter to Miss Daniel (Manorama of "Khazanchi" fame) requesting her to send me an autographed photo but I regret to say that the reply was: —"At this time I have four new poses, so send me twenty rupees by registered post; then I will send you four beautiful poses with my autographs." What does it mean? It means C.O.D. (cash on delivery) and no long credit. If yon think that the goods are worth it, buy cr forget everything about them. D. L. DUDANI (Larkhana) In which studio will Jamshed Wadia now produce pictures? '<&..-■■ WmKBSSk tWm. It is not Kisiiore Sahu's usual picnic. It is a shot front "Raja" a social picture, directed by Kisiiore, in which he takps Rani Bala for a spree 22 January 1943 This is Lcela Chitnis in "Rekha" a social story of Romnik Productions. "Gentle" Jamshed will now become a paying guest at the Rajkamal Kalamandir, the new studios of Mr. Shantarcnn. R. N. MURTHY (Bangalore) What has happened to Atre pictures? Notliing in particular. They recently gave birth to 'Vasantsena' and both — the mother and the child-are reported to be needing some nutrition. Who are all the stars working in Shantaram's "Shakuntala"? In Shantaram pictures no one stars but Shantar am. Even if his wife Jayshree agrees to play Shakuntala, Shantaram will still insist on saying that he played the role. KISHAN CHANDRA JAINI (Roorkee) After seeing 'Jawab' I have come to the conclusion that Barua should now stop wasting producers' money and losing his own fans. Why don't you advise him to stop directing? No one likes free advice. Besides 'Jawab' helped the producer to multiply and it is quite likely that the thundering success of this picture may encourage Barua to produce another of its type. As long as there are people like you, ready to see such pictures, this type will keep on coming to the screen. NARENDRA SINGH (Ajmer) Who is an excellent swimmer, rider, driver and boxer from among our Indian male stars? None! Though all of them have text-books on the subjects.
