What are talkis?
Talkies is what the people of the early 1930s called the sound films, as opposed to silent films."Talkies" is a now-obsolete term for moving pictures that have a sound track. Originally, moving pictures (movies) were silent. When sound was added, they were called "talkies." Since sound is now an essentially universal characteristic of motion pictures, there is no longer a need to distinguish films with sound from other films, so the word has fallen out of use.
