Kisan Kanya was a Hindi Cinecolor feature film directed by Moti Gidwani and produced by Imperial Pictures’ Ardeshir Irani in 1937. The fact that it was India’s first indigenously produced color movie has left a lasting impression on the Indian populace.
V. Shantaram had previously created the Marathi film Sairandhri (1933), which had color scenes. The movie, on the other hand, was processed and printed in Germany. As a result, Kisan Kanya is considered India’s first color movie. Kisan Kanya was based on Saadat Hasan Manto’s novel and focused on the plight of poor farmers.
Ardeshir Irani, who had previously produced noteworthy films such as Nala Damayanti (1920), India’s first foreign co-production (with Italy), and Alam Ara (1931), India’s first talkie, developed the concept of making a color film. The color movie Kisan Kanya was the fruit of his efforts, and it was shot using the Cinecolor technique, which Irani had secured from an American business. The picture had a mediocre box office performance. Kisan Kanya was based on Saadat Hasan Manto’s novel and focused on the plight of poor farmers.
The first Indian color movie shot entirely in the country. This film likewise earned better reviews than its predecessor.
