Ardeshir Irani became the father of talkie films with the release of his sound feature film, Alam Ara on 14 March 1931.
After the 2003 fire at the National Archives of India, Pune in which prints of first Indian talkie Alam Ara (1931) were lost, it is also the earliest surviving talkie of Indian cinema.
Based on a novel by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay and produced by New Theatres, it is credited as the one of first Bengali talkies, and along with Alam Ara, was one of the first sound films produced in India.
(Prithviraj Kapoor acted in Alam Ara in 1931, which was also the first talkie film of India)
