First Indian Sound Film: Alam Ara
The first Indian movie to feature sound was released in 1931. This marked a significant turning point in Indian cinema history, introducing the era of talkies.
The film that achieved this milestone was Alam Ara.
- Film Name: Alam Ara
- Release Year: 1931
- Significance: First Indian talkie (film with sound).
- Director: Ardeshir Irani
While other films like Raja Harishchandra were pioneers (first Indian silent film), and Kisaan Kanya was notable (first Indian colour film), Alam Ara holds the specific distinction of being the first Indian film with synchronized sound.
Therefore, the correct identification of the first Indian movie with sound released in 1931 is Alam Ara.
