First talkie??
Please see Talk:Devika Rani. That article mentions that Karma, made in 1929 is the first Indian movie with sound. --Gurubrahma 16:39, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- This one, Bhakta Prahlada (1931 film), says it is the first in Telugu.
- Maybe there needs to be an article on First in every Indian language, including English.

Devanagari/Nastaliq
Could somebody please put up the movie title in Devanagari and Nastaaliq? I can't tell for sure how to pronounce it because of the vague (though popular) romanization, though I suspect it's "Aalam Aaraa." I'd like to know how this is really pronounced, so putting up these two transcriptions would really help. Thanks! --Kuaichik 00:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Alam Ara (Template:Translation) is a 1931 Indian[1][2] film directed by Ardeshir Irani. It was the first Indian sound film.[3][4]
Irani recognised the importance that sound would have on the cinema, and raced to complete Alam Ara before several contemporary sound films. Alam Ara debuted at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai (then Bombay) on 14 March 1931.[5] The first Indian talkie was so popular that "police aid had to be summoned to control the crowds."[6] The film was houseful for the next 8 weeks of its release. It was advertised with the tagline "All living, breathing, 100 percent talking".[7]
The film has long been lost and was not available as far back as 1967 according to the National Film Archive of India, Pune.[8]Template:Reflist-talk
