November, 1946 FlLMlNDIA That Indian film producers can never be convinced that the leaves of their cheque books are not so many currency notes. They tear out the cheques even though the banks don't want to collect them these days. Film bankers have taken up stamp collecting as a hobby these days. That Producer Shantaram, Film-actress Jayashree and "international" writer Dewan Sharar are reported to have been lost in America as Dada "Shaukat" of Rajkamal doesn't find any news of Anna in "Navyug" Marathi weekly. That "Shaukat" Dada of Rajkamal will now start on a search expedition and will land himself in New York to ask Anna about the overdue payment of interest at home. That had it not been for "Master" Winayak (aged 42), Rajkamal would have been closed long before. That is a special news from the womanvoiced Master of Ceremonies in Profulla Pictures. That little Alka Achrekar also supports the stories of "Master" Winayak's genius in financial affairs and their management. She taught him a few tricks herself. That Mumtaz Shanti considers husband Walli not only as the greatest director of India but the greatest actor of all times. Said like Jayashree. That of all the critics in the world Pandit Indra is easily the greatest. He likes Ranjit pictures even without seeing them. That is a case of Xray sight. That Producer W. Z. Ahmed, our champion producer in publicity, threatens to fly to Mexico with his star-wife Neena to produce "Krishna Bhagwan" in Technicolor. That may at least bring the green currency notes in. Colour always attracts colour. That with Shantaram as the Indian "Buddha" (not budhdha) , Dewan Sharar as the chief Bhikku and Jayashree as Betty Grable, Producer Ahmed will have to christen Neena as Greta Garbo and himself as Charles Boyer. They do need different descriptions in America with the dull-witted Yankees about. That Mrs. Najanh (Mehtab) Modi has not yet recovered from the strain of her honeymoon in Kashmir. They say that Sohrab insists on a complete rest prior to their long-planned Hollywood trip. After all people must rest some time. That with so many threatening to go to America, Baburao Pai has revised his plans of the raid overseas, though Charlie Julian, the R. K. 0. Cowboy, keeps sending his Mickey Mouse Disney's greetings every week. Cowboy Charlie wants some Indian to fly home with the dollars. They are safer that way with the Indian errand boy. That Cowboy Charlie presents a new scheme every day to Editor Baburao Patel to pool together the interests of the Yankees and the local "Injuns" to promote more brotherhood between the two races. The wily editor, however, wants them poles apart. SARLA ART PRODUCTIONS presents §UBHA§HIM The Queen of action of the silver screen IN "MARYADA" WITH Rakesh * P.
