included V. Shantaram, Jai Shri, Keshav Rao Date, Babu Rao Pendharkar, Diwan Sharer, Master Vinayak, and Ulhas. The songs of Diwan Sharar were composed into musical melodies by the music director Vasant Desai. He used Russian folk to bring realistic effect. The song “ Chal Aa Gulami Nahi” was based on Chinese war music. V. Shantaram added a few parts of documentaries also including a speech by Nehru to make the film look real. John Dayal described this film as representing the long cherished unity of Asian powers. He wrote:

His China visit had inspired him to write about an Indian who was with Mao in the Long March. Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahaniwas directed by V. Shantaram, who also played Dr. Kotnis in the film. Shantaram’s distinctive brandof acting and the theatrical roots of his direction may make Dr. Kotnis a stilted film in retrospect, but Khwaja’s script for the first time reflected the Indian political aspirations with rare strength and integrity an Asian solidarity in the struggle for freedom and emancipation, and secularism.

This was the time when Abbas wrote stories and screenplays for a number of films for other producers. They include Nai Duniya (1942), Nai Kahani (1943), Naya Tarana (1944), Panna (1945),Actress(1946), Aadhi Raat(1949), Naaz (1951) etc. He wrote these scripts and stories because some of the films that he commented on in his columns were attacked due to lose stories and screenplays. He was criticized by the producers saying that it was easy to criticize but not so easy to write
