First talkie film in Indian cinema, celebrates its 80th anniversary

March 14, 2011, is a very special day for Indian film industry. It marks the 80th anniversary of Alam Ara - the first Indian film with voice.

 

On this day in 1931, Alam Ara debuted at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai causing such frenzy among the audience that the police had to be called in.

Alam Ara also featured the first song of Indian film, De De Khuda Ke Naam Par, sung by an actor Wazir Mohammed Khan. The film was directed by Ardeshir Irani, is a love story between a prince and a gypsy girl and was based on a Parsi play. 

Alam Ara

A period fantasy, the film was about an ageing king of Kamarpur, and his two queens, Navbahar and Dilbahar, and their rivalry when a fakir predicts that Navbahar will bear the king's heir.

The sad part, however, is that as a result of a fire at the National Film Archive of India at Pune in 2003, the last surviving print of Alam Ara was collapsed, and the film is no longer available in its original format.

The film was shot mostly in the night to avoid capturing the noises of the day. Alam Ara was made using microphones that had to be hidden from the camera's range.

Spider Man-Musical Slapped Around, Fined by Federal Agency

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has given new meaning to the term              "offensive."

The chronically plagued Broadway production was issued three citations Friday by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Health and Safety Administration for workplace saftey violations that were joined to four injury-causing accidents that occurred during preview performances last year.

And OSHA wants more than free tickets for its troubles.

The suggested total fines amount to $12,600. It's a relative drop in the bucket compared to the production's $65 million budget, but still...

The New York State Department of Labor cited the show's producer, 8 Legged Productions LLC, for two safety violations last month after aerialist Christopher Tierney plunged roughly 20 feet into an opening next to the stage during a performance and need surgery for cracked vertebra.

OSHA said in a statement that the cast had been exposed to "the hazards of falls or being struck during flying routines because of improperly adjusted or unsecured safety harnesses."

Additionally, not enough preventative measures were in place to shield cast and crew from "moving overhead rigging components," such as the one that struck actress Natalie Mendoza during the first preview performance. She ultimately dropped out altogether.

At this time, spokesman Rick Miramontez said, Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark "remains in compliance with all government agencies and continues to adhere to all safety protocols."
