FILMINDI A
There is no "or". I shall hand it over at the nearest police station. But I have not yet seen a tenner lying on the road and I have lived forty years. If money coidd be found in the streets, our producers would not build studios to give us rotten stuff. S. ASHRAFUL IMAM (Patna)
I want to learn film direction. What shall I do?
Join Director Winayak's troupe of assistants and look puzzled and surprised every time Winayak takes a 'shot.' Why do girls fear darkness?
Not experienced girls. K. N. RAIZADA (Cawnpore)
What are the feelings of a pregnant woman?
Pride of prospective motherhood.
M SINGH (Nepal)
As I appreciate film beauty, I like to marry a film star. Shall I be happy that way?
Film beauties are as brittle and inflammable as the celluloid on which the pictures are taken. Besides if you are marrying for beauty, you won't be happy for long. Half the beauty in Beauty is its illusion at a distance. Marriage is a close intimacy which destroys the illusion. If Sushila Rani goes away like Devika Rani, what will you do Baburao?
I will follow her like Roerich.
J A DHANRAJ (Cochin)
When there are more women than men in this world, why have men to chase women?
Woman is passive by nature. She waits for the aggression of man and enjoys it. This chase is called romance.
MRS. SAYEEDA AKHTAR (Calcutta)
What is your conception of a "paradise on earth9"
.4 world in which human blood is used to forge ties of friendship and not traded-in for gold and greed.
How can a lady keep her husband constantly devoted to her?
By forgetting the marriage tie and its obligations and remaining a sweetheart to him always.
Are children at all necessary to ensure happiness in married life?
Good children become a happy punctuation of a happy married life. In a cat-and-dog life, they only add to the noise. But modern children are often like the lamps that set fire to the house they are supposed to lighten up.
N". S. PABBI (Simla)
Do you think that an honest criticism of a film is an open invitation to trouble, slander and abuse?
And social and commercial boycott in addition .
Suresh has grown into a man now and plays the lead in "Sona Chandi" produced and directed by R. D. Pareenja.
How is it that rape scenes are becoming so popular now-a-days with most of the film directors?
They rape their brains for new ideas and produce these morbid distortions.
Has there ever been a clash of opinion between you and Sushila Rani in the matter of honest criticism of a film?
Several times. Sushila Rani is a New Theatres' fan and fans don't make good critics. She likes Kanan, Khurshid and many others and likes their performances every time. I agree with her often, but sometimes I don't.
MISS RAMDULARI DEVI (Dumka)
What stage of love do you prefer and which stage of love is most enjoyable?
The stage where the play is enacted without an audience.
"Love is God", hence vou should help those who fall in love9
Not college-love. It is calf — not God.
