The first Indian talkie, Alam Ara, was released in 1931, produced by the Imperial Film Company, and directed by Ardeshir Irani in Bombay. 'All Living, Breathing 100% Talking Peak Drama, Essence of Romance, Brains and Talents unheard of under one banner,' screamed the advertisements. With ten songs, the film proved a sensation. The young pioneers in Kolhapur, refusing to lag behind, released three sound films in Marathi by 1932. One of them was Ayodhyecha Raja, directed by Shantaram, based on the story of Harishchandra, the tale that had launched Dadasaheb Phalke's career in 1913. The role of Taramati, played by a male actor in Phalke's version, was this time played by a young Brahmin girl from Kolhapur, Durga Khote, whose phenomenal success attracted others to the profession and lent it respectability. Today she is one of the most celebrated actresses in the country.
