PILMINDIA
March, 194:
Director M. Sadiq having completed his first production "Kajal" under the banner of Ratan Pictures is soon starting his second production to be called "Char Din".
"The Censor Board too has now become a bit cautious only due to the continuous sincere efforts of Editor Patel.
"During such days aimless and vulgar pictures should not be given to us, but only those which may help us in our all round progress. ;.
"It apperrs that these producers want to take the public with their own speed to deterioration. Such pictures, either should be entirely banned or cleaned of the filthy stuff therein.
GHAZIABAD. K. G. Mathur. "BURMARANI" BANNED!
"It is really gratifying news that the film "Calcutta" has been banned in the Madras Presidency also. Another Tamil film named "Burmarani" (which your magazine branded as 'rotten') has also been banned in this province. Thus here alro our film censors are opening their eyes a little. When will they open their eyes full and ban all other anti-social films which are in circulation in plenty?"
CALICUT. K. P. D. Nayar. BUT WHEN WAS IT BETTER?
"When I came out of the pic
ture house after seeing "Manjdhar", I wondered whether this picture had actually been directed by Sohrab Modi. Its very beginning is flimsy, its end is weak and unconvincing and its direction is erratic. In the past Sohrab Modi has directed good pictures, but his latest picture "Manjdhar" proves very boring, the only good thing being the beautiful acting of Babv Tabasum." KANPUR. Madanlcl Bedi.
A JOB FOR JAWAHAR
"I have read with interest tha Metro Goldwyn Mayer's "Th Postman Always Rings Twice and Paramount's "Calcutta" hav been banned in pursuance of th vigorous campaign carried out b 'filmindia', whose fearless review and incorrigible candidness hav oft and on saved our film indus try from being driven into th< quagmire of communalism an obscenity.
