It is a pity choking off an enthusiastic producer like her, seeing that Protima produced a better picture in hired premises than several producers having large studios and big resources.

Two films "Delhi Chalo" and 'Blood Bath" were shown to the members of the I.N.A. and to the civilians in Rangoon. Netaji certainly showed more constructive imagination than some of our other national leaders who condemn the film as an evil.
