1913: "Raja Harishchandra", first Hindi movie by Dadasaheb Phalke.

1931: "Alam Ara" first Hindi TALKING movie

The first hindi movie was "Raja Harishchandra"

but first TALKING... movie in hindi was "Alam Ara"

Alam Ara was the first talking movie. It was directed by Ardeshir M. Irani and the theme of this film was based on a Parsi playl. He got the idea to make this movie when he saw the talking Hollywood movie 'Showboat'. This movie was a big hit. Vithal was the leading hero and Zubeida was the leading heroine. It was released in the Majestic Cinema Of Bombay.
