May be of you search for P L Santoshi (Pyare Lal) biography or

HMV India had released audio CD of this film (terrible quality - muted
sound)
from 78 rpm records


I too would like to know as to what happened to Miss Shin Shinaki
(Rehana) and
Mr. Boobla Boo (Ranjan)

In 1952 Government had ammended the Cinematograph act, by which it got
a right to ban any film, even after Censor certificate was issued, if
the Governmentt felt that the film was worth banning.
Shin Shinaki Boobla Boo was the First film to become its victim.
Though the film had been passed by central censor Board with a U
certificate, the government banned the film stating that “The film has
a low moral tone and accords glamour and heroism to criminals,
treating sacred subject irreverently and it is against the interests
of public decency and morality.”
The producers, Santoshi Production Limited appealed against the
decision and subsequently the ban was revoked but it had killed the
commercial success of the film anyway. The film did not come up even
for a second run.
The latest victim of this act is now Kamal Hasan’s VISHWAROOPAM.
Though Kamal revised the film and released it, the effect was the same
as SSBB. The film made on a budget of 95 crores has collected only
7.56 crores in first 2 days, as on today(7th Feb).

If such was the case, then may be some release prints can be located
by
the film owners (Director and sometimes Producer: Raj Kumar
probably
can make such a claim)

I found at a web-site his production company's address as:



Raj Kumar Santoshi

Santoshi Productions
Office No. 4 B
Arshie Complex
Off Yari Road, Versova
Lokhandwala
Andheri West
Mumbai - 400 061

022 - 2633 6132, 2633 6134

Perhaps some of us can make effort to write to him. I am almost
certain that a large number of film lovers would like to watch

SHIN SHINAKI ....................... Boobla
