Sound Revolution
This year happens to be the 75th year of the Indian talkie. On March 14, 1931, Ardeshir Irani released Alam Ara, the first full-length Indian sound film in Bombay.
In the next four years the transition from silent cinema to sound technology was complete. The coming of the talkie was not simply silent films learning to talk — it was a technological revolution that transformed film industries the world over.
