December, 1945 FILM INDIA conventional to please the masses and it is no wonder to find that marriages ring the curtain down in our motion picture stories. Besides, the story after the marriage is not so very romantic in actual life. G. V. L. N. SWAMY (Cuttack) When a beautiful girl laughs, which part of her face attracts our attention most ? The teeth which are suddenly exposed as if the zip has been torn. They should however remind the onlooker of the bite in them. Can the "filmindia" office manufacture a number of Baburao Patels for the uplift of the cinema industry ? "filmindia" did not manufacture me. It is the other way about. I am my father's job and he is now too old at 74. K. U. KAMATH (Mangalore) Why is Jayant Desai so fond of Ishwarlal and Mubarak? Mubarak is a soft-speaking man who must be telling Jayant that Jayant is greater than Shakespeare and lot ahead of Grant Anderson. Thus Mubarak gives Jayant superiority-complex. Poor Ishwar must be sitting at the feet of the master, yelping at intervals: "Jayanti Bhai", "Jayanti Bhai". Flattery is a more devastating weapon than the Atom Bomb. What does that Shanta Apte (Courtesy: "S. A. Concerns") mean ? It means that after paying Shanta Apte through the nose, the girl obliges by working as a courtesy of Shanta Apte Concerns. Doesn't it look very pedantic and incidentally a bit cheat} ? Seeing a recent advertisement of "Panihari" in the November issue of "filmindia", Surendra also seems to have come as a courtesy packet of S. A. Concerns. Wonder whether Surendra is concerned with this Concern. PRAKASH NARAYAN (Rawalpindi) "Woman is the root cause of all the change in the Universe" — Do you think so ? May be, seeing that she carries the cradle of human life in her little womb. P K. RAMASWAMY (Palghat) Why does your magazine nowadays attract more than ever before ? Since the last four years an artistic woman fusses over it every month and gives it little graces which make the magazine more readable. Nowadays it is more a woman's job than a man's. KRISHNAGOPAL KANTHAN (Agra) "Expose as much as you can" seems to be the fashion amongst the actresses and the butterflies of society. What do you think ? The only difference is that film stars expose art while society butterflies expose filthy flesh. L S. MATHUR (Calcutta) A genius like Kishore Sahu produces, directs and even It has all the Powerful Ingredients of a Successful Picture: Story packed with Action Smart Dialogues ■She * Lilting Music An Entertainment Galore.
