In This Art Temple, We Come To Know, Only Social Relevant Themes Are Dramatised. In The Course Of The Film We Will Bombarded By Lots Of Criticism Of The Society And The Political System.

What Will Happen To The Kala Mandir? What Is To Become Of The New Malini Devi Theatre Company? Will Friends Bank Bubble Burst? R. K. Narayan Is Credited For The Story, But Has Hardly Any Resemblance To His Famous Novel Mr. Sampath. The Only Thing Common To Both Is The Main Character Mr. Sampath. It I Most Probably A Remake Of The Tamil Film Miss Malini (1949), In Which Mr.Sampath Makes An Appearance As Well. In The Novel As Well As In The Film He Is A Dazzler.
