FILM INDIA
December, 1946
Ka-Sultan' — both historical pictures. Till yesterday he had got the monopoly of historical pictures and it was a pride to see his 'Sikandar' but 'Ek-Din-Ka-Sultan' made me sick. If any one had told me that a year ago, I should have laughed at him but today it's a fact. There is nothing in it of Sohrab's historical standard. It's only a waste of time and money and the celluloid too. I don't understand how a constructive and expert critic like Mr. Baburao Patel dared to call it a 'worthy contribution to the quality output for our film industry.' Here you deserve to be blamed in common with the rest Don't you brother?"
Miss Kamla Kumari. SR1NAGAR.
LET'S HOPE!
"In contrast to the Paradise Theatre, which is really a Paradise, we have one other theatre which can be very well called a heH. The name of this theatre is 'Picture House', managed bv «he
proprietors of the Paradise Theatre and is meant for first run pictures only.
"The distance between the screen and the first row of the chairs is hardly 10 feet. On the top of this there is no stage to this theatre. The screen is fixed on the front wall. One can easily imagine how troublesome it would be for those unfortunate fellows who happen to get the front seats.
"May I look forward to see this theatre improved?" KARACHI. R. V. Bachwani.
WELL, It. A I BAHADUR!
"I had high hopes that 'Filmistan' would become the future 'Bombay Talkies' of our Industry. My hopes were further raised when Kishore Sahu. that talented artiste, joined 'Filmistan' to produce and direct "Sindoor." But after seeing 'Safar', which contains neither story, entertainment nor technique, I have come to the conclusion that they are no better fhan most of our third-rate pro
ducers who turn out motion picture sausages rather than serve art,"
V. K. Fazlur Rahman. BANGALORE.
THINK SO?
"It has become a crying shame that in Bombay, Tamil Pictures still continue to be shown only in the mornings at 10 a.m. a most inconvenient hour, and that too on a Sunday. Many protests have been made, but so far no substantial results have accrued.
"Something must be done so that Tamil pictures may be released exclusively in some theatre in the evenings, preferably in a theatre like "The Aurora", Matunga, which is probably the best place for Tamil releases, as the majority of South Indians iive there. And if handled in a proper manner, not only will hundreds be benefited, but it can also be turned into a tremendous source of profitable business." MADRAS. K. S. Bnhin.
