Film making had started in India in early 1900s and many enthusiastic lovers of making images were doing a lot of work in this field. By the time the First Talkie Film came in 1931, there were quite a few film producing centres engaged in making silent films, like Bombay, Calcutta, Lahore, Poona, Kolhapur, Bangalore, Madras, Hyderabad etc. However,Bombay, Lahore and Calcutta were the three main centres ones where the bulk of movies were was made.

This article is my small tribute to Ustad Amir Khan (15/08/1912 – 13/02/1974) on the occasion of his 40th death anniversary which falls on February 13, 2014. He was the founder of the Indore Gharana though personally he did not like to be associated with any gharanas. He maintained that he belonged to the Hindustani gharana and other gharanas were like its sub-branches. But his disciples gave the name of Indore gharana for his unique style of rendition.

Writing about old films and old songs is not an easy job. Particularly,if you are writing about Debut Films and Debut songs,it is a Herculean task to find out which is the real Debut song/Film. This is because, as I always say, we are a poor nation as far as recording film history is concerned. There are conflicting claims made by Internet sites and so called experts. Even books are not reliable, as I found recently. Therefore, it is very difficult to verify any information.
