English-language Indian Films
English-language Indian films go back to the days of silent film. After the coming of sound, feature films in English almost disappeared. History Silent era In the 1920s, films directed by Franz Osten and Himansu Rai, including ''The Light of Asia'' and ''A Throw of Dice'', could be considered as English-language films because the titles were in English. With the coming of sound, directors such as Osten and Rai chose Hindi as the language, thus effectively bringing to a close this phase of English-language films made in India. Crossover films An attempt to make English talkies in India named ''Karma'' failed domestically in 1933. Indian crossover films appeared in Indian cinema with international productions with Indian themes, starting with Merchant Ivory Productions' first venture, ''The Householder'' (1963), which has an India story, setting with an Indian cast, and included Shashi Kapoor, Leela Naidu, and Durga Khote. This was followed by a number of India-themed film ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
