Recruit Naraindas G. Bndhrani c|o Rangoon Stores, 248, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Poona 1, is 20, 5'-9" loves acting and singing, has played major roles in school dramatics and can speak Sindhi and Hindi.
things in our pictures, never think of preventing this hideous perversion of those ethereal superhumans whom hundreds of millions of Hindus imagine to be so divine, so glamorous and so venerable?
The picture is a hopeless conglomeration of bad acting, bad direction and too much of the Bhagwan in it. Its only relieving feature is a few good photographic shots. It has not even one good song to lighten its boredom.
Mumtaz Shanti and Pahari Sanyal, both good artistes who have to thsir credit fine performances in several pictures, appear throughout this mess to be out of their element and their work is utterly unconvincing and unworthy of their reputation. Even the veteran Chandramohan fails to impress in the role of Dasharath as a result of Ram Daryanfs bad direction. The comic pair Gope and Gulab give a performance intended to make the audience laugh but it makes one only swear at them.
The dialogue by Walli Sahib is tame and insipid, and so are the songs. There is nothing to mention about the music either.
With a very good singer like K. C. Dey playing the blind old man, one would expect some songs from him. The only song that comes from him. however, is at a time
when no human being with anything like a heart in him would be in a mood to sing. K. C. Dey bursts into a song immediately on hearing the news of the tragic death of Shravan"s wife and Shravan, like an idiot, with a blank face void of any human emotion, just stands listening to his father's fine musical performance !
It is time now the Indian produ
cers learnt to spare poor Br wan from their pictures. He no er impresses anyone except the ij terate and the superstitious folk, way he is presented. The seve miracles that have been shown in picture only add to its worthlessnj and help to make it a losing propc tion for the distributor and the ex| bitor and a headache to the intei gent spectator.
