POONA. H. Barter jee. THE RIGHT THING "Permit me to congratulate you for your challenging leader in "filmindia" of April 1948 You have touched the right thing at the right moment. It is no wonder if our money-crazy film producers arc recklessly planning to produce pictures on the life of Mahatmaji. We have had the bitterest experience from these money-hungry producers from their past productions of mythological pictures. Let the same sorry chapter be not repeated at least this time Let our producers, be free from the lust of money at least once." BOMBAY N. .S. Sawant. TASTE SPOILT "The filthy film producers have brought the public to such a high level of vulgarity, that first class pictures, like "Hamrahi" and the latest "Kalpana", (including thousand others) prove utter failures. One is surprised to see pictures like, "Kismet", "Mun-kiJeet", 'Panihari' and "Sona Chandi" doing good business at the cinema halls. 68 "Is it ours or the country's misfortune that such qualitative pictures, given by the top-most producers are not liked by the public. "Kalpana", the hit given by the greatest dancer 'Uday Shanker' was bound to vacate the halls of the Capital city after a few weeks run. "All this is due to those producers who have spoiled our tastes and degraded the morale so badly. "Either such producers should May, 1948 be severely dealt with or must be debarred from producing any further picture.
