FILM INDIA
May, 194i
M. M. LAL (New Delhi)
How is it that there are no cartoons in your magazine? There are caricatures in words which ought to satisfy.
K. G. S. NARAYAN (Dodballapur)
What is meant by a "willing surrender"?
It is a phrase used when coercion is used to obtain submission. It stands for the self-respect of the loser.
K. P. SHUKLA (Cawnpore)
You say that Sohrab Modi speaks his dialogue like a parrot. But what about Chandramohan and Jairaj?
To extend the bird analogy— they speak like vultures.
Whom do you like better between Ashok Kumar and Kishore Sahu in so far as acting is concerned?
Kishore is a he-man of she variety, while Ashok is she-man of he-variety. I like Ashok's acting better.
TULSIDAS SHET (Bombay)
Why has Surendra joined the films although he is a B.A.,LL.B.?
His clients did not like his music, so we have to stand it to give him a living.
B. B SAXENA (Delhi)
What is the criterion of judging one's love?
If the girl you love refuses to go to see her mother, leaving you behind, she is in love with you. That is one test.
K. L SHARMA (New Delhi)
Does gambling make a man superstitious? And also supersensitive.
SULTAN SALAHUDDIN (Bhusawal)
Is love-marriage a successful marriage?
Yes. The lovers quarrel successfully and successively.
If you were the sole authority over the entire Indian
film industry, what would you have done?
I would have folded it up and gone to Switzerland for rest.
S. M. RAHUATHULLAH (Madras)
In journalism which is better: editing a newspaper or
a viewspaper as yours?
Ask the journalists who do journalism. I merely write for a living. I have never bothered about the 'ism' of my job.
CHANDRASEKAR (Adoni)
If you had taken a role in "Draupadi", we would have welcomed you.
Instead of me, I give you Shantaram in "Dr. Kotnis". You can welcome him with both hands and laugh your lungs out. He doesn't understand the difference between ridicule and applause.
How many flowers have you crushed till now?
I am not a perfume manufacturer from Muttra.
