SAPRU— A NEW HOPE From the players, Sapru gives a good performance as Seth Jwala Prasad. He speaks beautifully and if he will slow down his gait a bit, his personality will secure more poise. Sapru is a good actor and should be given more chances. Sitara does her inconsequential best in the role of Menaka and gives a couple of funny dances which though they had no school, were not completely lacking in grace. In emotional situations, she fails utterly. After the guard's role in "Station Master," Prem Adib had a good role as a musician in this picture. He looked one though he could not sing like one.

In the role of Ghungru, he overacts continuously and ends by making funny faces, The technical work in the picture is pretty good, especially in the photographic section. Surendra Pai has captured some beautiful angles at places. The direction of the picture is amateurish and poor. A couple of tunes did attract attention to describe the music of the picture. On the whole, the picture is a light entertainment and as such does not claim any quality or any intellectual contents, 18
