Summary: By the mid-20s, satirical prose and journalism
had merged to create popular film gossip
columns in most Marathi and Gujarati papers.
KUA, an independent, employee-run group,
produced this controversial film about the daily
Hindustan thinly disguised as the fictional
Daily Mail, edited by a character constructed as
a composite portrait of Hindustan's owner
Lotwala and editor Indulal Yagnik. It also
lampooned the patron of the Ranjit Studio,
Jamsaheb of Jamnagar, and his studio boss
Chandulal Shah in a plot designed as a scabrous expose of the film industry's ethics.
