FILMINDIA As "Emperor Akbar" in "Tansen", a Ranjit picture, Mubarak makes history repeat itself. If actors like Zahur Raja, Nazir and Kishore Sahu have become directors why don't Motilal, Prithviraj and Chandramohan take up direction? They will in good time. Don't worry. When people stop seeing their faces, they will teach others to make faces for them. Miss Dipti Roy (Hazaribagh) A dear friend of mine who returned from Bombay has fallen head-over-heels in love with Protima Das Gupta. She worships Protima. I am afraid one day she might, be disappointed. Has Protima a heart? Anatomically she should have one. emotionally ■ — well. I shall examine her and let you know. Protima is also a very dear old friend of mine but I meet her once in a blue moon and then, too, it is a very rowdy meeting. M. S. Gouda (Uchchangidurgam) What about Debaki Bose? What about him? Is he gone mad or anything like that? He must be somewhere in Bengal. These are war times and I can't give you the exact address. You are not reviewing Minerva Pictures? Are they not worth seeing? Excepting "Sikandar", which was an excellent picture, I have reviewed all Minerva pictures. Where does Sohrab Modi produce any pictures for me to review them? He has been on "Prithvi Vallabh" for over a year now. When it is released, I shall tell you how it is. Who is the best dance instructor in films? Mr. V. Shantaram. He told me so himself and I believe him because once upon a time he used to dance on the Marathi stage. Omar Ayob (Mafeking) Which is the biggest box-office hit of 1942? "Basant" produced by the Bombay Talkies Ltd. K. T. Mirchandani (Jhikagali) The kissing part of "Pahili Manglagour" will definitely harm our women-folk and I disagree with your praises showered on this picture. More harm is being done to our women-folk because they are not being kissed enough. The kisses which are given so freely in the pre-marital stage are forgotten in the subsequent married life and our women, therefore, lose all the shine on their face. We smell a flower oftener after picking it off the tree. That is what we should do with women if their fragrance is to pervade human life. You are a Sindhi, why are you on the wrong track? If you start talking like this the Sindhis in our city clubs will faint. There is nothing immoral about kissing. It is a natural expression of one's In 'Adab Arz', an Amar picture, Director Virendra Dcsai has put little Nalini Jaywant in this costume, probably to get a tom-boyish delight out of her. 21
