The author has been writing reviews on about 800 films that he saw over the years. During the 40s and the early 50s, many films of the 30s were shown as Morning shows in theatres at reduced rates. He tried hard not to miss them. He saw many films in Nepal and Dhaka. He saw "New Theatre Film Festival" in Calcutta twice. In Bombay there were "Prabhat Film Festival" and "Minerva Film Festival". He attended them and saw films many of which are no longer easily available.
These reviews are based on his notes, writings and many references.
