public and will ultimately tend to undermine the prestige and stability of our insurance business considering the inescapable fact that our motion pictures are seen by millions in the country.
Our film producers have no right to attack or slander other important industries or trades of the country to line their pockets with such ill-gotten gains under the pretext of providing entertainment.
Our insurance business has been very painfully and laboriously built in the teeth of severe foreign competition. In Free India, the stability of our insurance business will be one of the principal assets of our nation. Every patriot in the country wants our insurance business to spread to our villages and into every nook and corner of the country as a natural fulfilment of its national destiny.
But what chance can the insurance business have if our motion pictures are going to shout to the villagers in advance about the unreliability of our insurance people by painting them in the most villainous hues! Are our films going to prejudice the future progress of our insurance trade by such false and grotesque portrayals?
We would like the Indian Merchants' Chamber and the Insurance Association of India to take serious notice of these dirty tendencies and write to the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association and other Associations in the country insisting upon our producers to stop this slander in time.

That according to producer Kardar, Producer V. Shantaram has rendered the same services to the country by producing "Dr. Kotnis" as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru has done in the field of politics — which all means that Shantaram is not yet as good as Quaide-Azam Jinnah. Others, however, think the other way round.
That since Kardar's whole-hearted approval of "Dr. Kotnis", the Bhendi Bazaar gentry has sworn to run the picture for months. And as a gesture of mutual affection Shantaram has already made a block booking of 45 weeks. Could brotherly accommodation go further?
That the Rajkamal Studio workers have become so fond of "Dr. Kotnis" that they have been seeing the picture over and over again. Some of them have already seen it more than a dozen times.
That Shantaram can agree to become an honorary member of the Artistes' Association of India, like Sohrab Modi who is an artiste first in the Artistes' Association and vice versa in the Producers' rally, provided the Artistes' Association passes an unanimous resolution: "congratulating Shantaram on the world's best performance and thus establishing a standard impossible for any living artiste to attain." After this resolution Shantaram will walk in with Jayashree and the other artistes will collect the dust of their feet to decorate their own foreheads. (Like the 'touch' in "Dnvaneshwar")
