Kisan Kanya is a 1937 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Moti Gidwani and produced by Ardeshir Irani under the banner of Imperial Pictures. Made using Cinecolor, the film is based on a novel by Saadat Hasan Manto that highlights the struggles of poor farmers.[1]
The film is historically significant as India’s first indigenously made colour film.[2][3][4] While V. Shantaram's Sairandhri (1933) featured scenes in colour, it was processed and printed in Germany,[5][6] distinguishing Kisan Kanya as the first colour film entirely produced within India.[2][4][7]
