To keep the romance of the world going. It is only under such maladjustments that good-looking neighbours acquire a premium.
K. PARASURAMAN (Cochin)
Can you get for me an Atom Bomb from any of your [friends in America? Our South Indian fi'm industry requires one very badly.
Don't waste an expensive Atom Bomb on those rice-eaters. Use some native poison. N. R. RADHAKRISHNAN (Palghat)
If a popular film actress offers a kiss to the highest [contributor to a national fund, will there be a very keen [competition for that kiss?
We don't believe in building a nation on kisses. Like Americans, Indian women don't sell their kisses even for their country. One of our patriotic ideals is to guard and protect the kisses of out women. In India you won't find even men buying kisses. A kiss is not a negotiable instrument in the East.
MRS JWALA PRASAD (Cawnpore)
What has made the Prakash people deteriorate to so [low a standard as to produce a rot like "Hamara Sansar"?
They have started living their themes themselves. Art has given place to reality.
VENKATA RAMAN K. N. (Madras)
Why do you make yourself odious to certain persons in the film industry witb your frank writings, if it is in your power to leave them alone?
I am not out to please individuals. I am out to serve an industry I love so dearly. I don't care whether I am loved or hated as long as I please myself and do my duty. ATIB USMANI (Bombay)
Will you kindly publish for the benefit of the numerous screen aspirants as to what are the essentials of a screen test and whether such a test is applied to the new comers who wish to join the films?
Our film producers never take a really serious screen test. It is only when a girl applies for a post that screen tests are made an excuse to see her a little longer before the contract is signed. P. K. MAMMOO (Bombay)
Will you please advise David to retire from films to save film-goers from some annoyance. With his bald head, how can David approach a girl?
But he does that not only in films but also on the race course. Girls like his height. The low shoulder becomes a good arm-rest
PREM CHANDRA MITHAL (Lahore)
Why are our stars so reluctant to send their photographs?
i A copy costs five rupees and five rupees are not thrown into the streets every day. When is Sardar Chandulal Shah going to stop hib rubbish: "Caravan", "Dhanna Bhagat". "Mumtaz" etc?
He is reported to have made a beginning with "Rajputani".
