February, 19
of shooting and beating we see the manager lying dead and the Cinderella triumphant in the arms of her Prince Charming with a pink dupatta (the Bohra painter's version of red thrown over her head.)
As Indian audiences love tragedies due to some mysterious masochistic
tendencies, a tragic ending to the story would not only have been more logical but also more popular. MADHU BALA'S PERSONALITY Technically, however, the picture has been beautifully photographed, artistically taken and well presented. The dialogue is sparkling and beau
tiful and Manohar Khanna deservij special praise. The lyrics are n much of a composition but quite I few of them are attractively tune I Recordist Moolgavkar has also doi a good job in giving good tone t] every word of the songs and the di. logue — a rare experience in India | pictures.
Except in those parts where tr.1 psychological inconsistencies are no ticed, K. B. Lall's direction is goo and effective. He has laboured a lc over Madhu Bala and with admirabl results.
Under Lall's competent direction Madhu Bala acquires a new screei' personality. The erstwhile child nov looks an attractive maiden with al I her curves well framed but no unduly emphasized. Madhu Bald plays Shobha beautifully and proved herself at once competent and versa tile in both light and pathetic sequi ences. Her dialogue is also enKM tionally delivered.
Rajan Haksar plays Kanwar pretty well for a maiden effort. He speaks well and seems to be sincere about his work. If he stops his face from being flabby, by keeping away from the dining table, he will present a less; flat appearance and prove a good addition to our screen talent.
MILESTONE OF MATURITY
Kesari, who rotted in Ranjit for a life-time, does very well in his slapstick role of Sawan. Making a team with the versatile Ranjit Kumari, Kesari punctuates the story with gags and laughter and becomes popular with the masses.
Sapru plays the manager in a very stagy manner and his big fat cheeks have now swallowed his light eyesl which were once his main attraction. Pandit Iqbal plays the Mukhiya and looks a sincere kisan every inch and minute.
Bhagabai gave us a bit of a pleasant surprise as the sick mother the way she gives tongue to her dialogue. If all old women of the screen spoke their dialogue as well as Bhagabai, they wouldn't become so boring.
"Lai Dupatta" is an attractive picture and the one-time little Madhu Bala is its main attraction. This picture is the first milestone of her maturity in screen acting and as such reflects all the shy glimpses of her early maidenhood.
