FILM INDIA April, 194 Time marches on with the man and his wife on either side of the wall and the daughter Bimba grows up into a maiden, disciplined by her mother and loved by her father. Bimba loves Kumar, the son of one "Sir Saheb" (what a name!) and the usual matrimonial tangles now crop up. Bimba soon learns of Kumar's past escapade and is in turn informed of her father's affair with the kitchej maid. After the usual misunderstanc ing and heart burning, in whic that funny-looking Manohar lool; funnier as a crazy sanyasi, tl drama ends suddenly and sweei ly with the appeaj-ance of Marie har at the window. SHARAR'S GHAZALS This picture has hardly any n ; lieving feature. It is rash enoug i to expect any entertaining mus i in a picture of Rajkamal, but if; this case music gets virtUall i raped when Manohaj bursts oil » into a Nur Jehan wail of woe ovij ; the separating wall. The sound recording is errai ! and the photography is hi throughout. Keshavrao Dau direction is in short so much was of time, money and energy. Dewan Sharar has given a coil 'I pie of beautiful 'ghazals' but alai u they are tuned by a man wl: : doesn't seem to know the wi : ghazals should be tuned. It tab more than merely beautiful wori to put over a ghazal. The grea est ghazal needs music plus em. tion to be effective and we regr to observe that Dewan Shara:' 'L beautiful words just proved many pearls before — , well, we let us leave it at that. PICTURE FOR THE BLIND Leela Chitnis easily beat? t others in the role of Sushila wh Munnawar Sultana looks qui pleasant. That man Manmoh Krishna defies all description Manohar while M-ahipal loo] pretty effeminate as Kumar. Pi, fessor Hudlikar seemed to be a botanical expedition collecti ferns in the role of "Sir Saheb' The blind inmates of N. S. Home of Bombay were used so many scapegoats for putti over an idiotic yarn. There nothing about the blind and tb world in the picture for it to named "Andhon-Ki-Duniya." The picture is meant for bli filmgoers and stone-blind exhi tors. It is idiotic and boring i ! the extreme. | y,l No other watch compares with sterna for sheer beauty, for brilliant design, for lasting dependability and value!
