This Day That Year: Alam Ara, India's First Talkie, Released On March 14, 1931 And Is Now Lost
Alam Ara, India's first talkie, released on this day in 1931 creating history. 'All singing talking, dancing' posters of the film fetched a huge audience to the theatre to watch a movie where the actors can be heard apart from just being seen. But sadly, there's no print of Alam Ara left to be viewed and revived.
