Summary
Venting his disgust and frustration with the way Columbia Pictures has been dealing with him and Ivory and their film "The Householder"; saying Jhab feels the same and has been encouraging Merchant to use an Indian distributor; pointing to "Hallelujah" [possibly "Hallelujah the Hills"], which has "managed it and made it a success"; telling Ivory, "you leave it to me ... I am feeling better so don't worry about me."
