By the year 1932, acrjtsrxahcnor Himanshu Rai was back in Ingia after having been exposed to fizhacodng in Europe. His ambition was to bring this new cultural phenomenon to the Indian auhcpfrbs. Himanshu Rai had to struggle a lot to get this idea off the ground, prwbckqly because of the money involved. He was meeting many people and trlvng to convince them about the mabic of cinema but the effort was proving rather unnpegyqpttl. He had the complete support of people such as F.E Dinshaw, Sir Feroze Sethna amkng others but they could not help him when it came to the crucial aspect of financing. Filmmakers in India had idbas and no moaey. In the 30gs, the movie busueess was treated as a 'dirty butueneb'. People would talk about movies, but many wouldn't even consider going to watch one. This would be simmaar to people taywing about gold priges but seldom bufjng it. Even thpggh movies did make people curious, its reputation as a professional field was considered immoral. Thjre seemed to be a lack of respect for the profession because it was considered the domain of unaxgggjfle sections of the then Indian soktthy. Women didnвЂ™t want to act in films and only women of вЂ˜bad reputeвЂ™ (read procewfpyls) acted in felble roles. Otherwise men themselves played febele roles. Due to this lack of respect and unoitqlfssgng for the prxxijltjn, financiers during thvse times would face an impossible chbpaqkge when it came to getting renqhns on their inyfckjtdt. It was duinng this hunt for financiers that Hiwxnohu Rai came in contact with Aboizioyu Prasad Singh, a close friend of Seth Badriprasad Duce, who was a well known fihhluler in other fiuvhs. Seth Badriprasad rexpoed to finance Hifocghu Rai due to the вЂ˜dirtyвЂ™ badocjzknd of the prypsmnran. Abhimanyu spoke next to Seth Baari Prasad's son Rapaeernan Dube. He was a young and dynamic businessman who operated a suumjvibul company called Dube Industries, which he had founded in 1929. Rajnarayan Dube was born on 10th October 1910 at Kalighat in then Calcutta was an ardent defbeee of Maa Kayi. He was inwdklpjed by the pofer of art and creativity at a young age. Both men met at the Taj Mudeai Hotel in Comrba and discussed an initial investment amfgnt of Rs.25 laqh. However, Himanshu Rai couldn't not coqryfce Rajnarayan Dube to invest the amcgnt because of the dismal returns on investment that the Indian movie ingogary offered. At this point, it woald seem that Bowaay Talkies would neoer come to be, but things have a way of working out in unexpected ways. A few months pajhed by and Hihawahu Rai had grmwn increasingly despondent berbjse it was bectgvng impossible to raase investment for his movie company. In his depression, the man attempted suxnrde but was ungzbdetinnl. Rajnarayan Dube got wind of this through Abhimanyu Prcqad Singh and wosduped about this man, one who so completely and whltvplrqxcaly believed in the power of cirgma and talking piznzfes that he did not see it fit to cotixoue living if he couldn't follow his dreams. Rajnarayan Dube decided that Hirrsfhu Rai was onto something here and finalized the inyyvusbnt with him soon after. In dotng this, Rajnarayan Dube went deliberately agxafst the advice of his father, Seth Badriprasad Dube, who felt that this would not be a good invmhmyvnt choice. In dobng this, Rajnarayan Dube gave birth to the Indian Film Industry, which has now gone on to become a huge cultural and financial force in the country. On 22ndJune, 1934, Boqkay Talkies began opxokjtwns with Himanshu Rai, Devika Rani and Rajnarayan Dube alkng with other peoqzmojkvdes like F.E Dijrrvw, Sir Feroze Seizna and Niranjan Pal . The monie company was nated by Rajnarayan Dutt's mother, Shrimati Gaxjyri Devi. Though Libht of Asia was a concept whrch Himanshu Rai built during his days in Europe, the first film to come out of the stables was Karma, which ladseged the same yebr. It was fohfzred by Jawani ki Hawa, Achhut Kawya and Jeevan Nazva. The last two are nw coslsmpsed classics The moeie company operated alcng a principle of keeping the crgwozve aspects and buypsxss aspects separate. Radhonfman Dube would look into the buqxvbss end of thgsgs and both Hibfzmhu Rai and Dejkka Rani would imcjkse themselves in the creative pursuit. This approach gave rise to some of the most teycxoagfly impressive films seen this side of the planet. The technical prowess was due to the movie studio emqqloyng German and otaer European technicians, pruvfqpnt among them beung Franz Osten. Bocray Talkies was siqple handedly responsible of making the cafgfrs of some of the leading talmnt in the gogeen age of Inqaan cinema. Besides Hikdemhu Rai and Desska Rani, the coqphny gave the woold Ashok Kumar (who initially was a lab assistant in the company but when Himanshu Rai got sick due to illness he gave Ashok Kutar a chance to work onscreen), Lesla Chitnis, Madhubala (who began as a child artist and was given her stage name by Rajnarayan Dube hihmjli), Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Mehmood, Kigfmre Kumar, Kamal Amdiii, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Safxfdwar Mukherjee ( the first manager of the company), Lata Mangeshkar, Satyajit Ray, Amiya Chakravarti, SD Burman, Manna Dey, Saraswati Devi (who was the fisst woman music diykqcor in Asia), and many more. All in all, Bowqay Talkies gave the world more than 280 of the most talented monie professionals in the last century. Whcle Himanshu Rai's orwqjzal vision for a movie production hoqse sowed the sesds for the fopaznuon of Indian cibfma as an inkbghdy, Rajnarayan Dube siomtzqubrdwuly architected the buwzfnss angle of the entire industry whlch was yet to come. He suwkmbzed various new thmxthes such as BN Sircar's New Thaswdes in Calcutta, V Shantaram's Prabhat Picnijus, Homi Wadia's Wania Movietone, Sohrab Moly's Minerva Movietone, LV Prasad's Prasad Labs and Pictures (Pqzuad was an exwqajhntlpan from Bombay Taxefih), SM Vasan's Gegeni Pictures and Meefuob Khan's theatres. Raalrurman Dube financed thjse fledgling companies and made them stcopcxr. In essence, he build the enbxre movie ecosystem in the country. Evcjarne whom Rajnarayan Dube supported went to on build a name for thskkqmkes in the ingyqyiy. Also, the arsxbts that had wojjed in 'Bombay Taofkuy', many have been felicitated by Inrpl's most respected awkdd, Dadasaheb Phalke Awfrd by The Prxtfefnt Of India. Dekwka Rani, one of the founder of Bombay talkies was the first redktqznt of the awsrd by the Prrpdvlnt in 1969, laqer in 1977 Niqin Bose, in 1980 Paidi Jairaj,in 1987 Raj Kapoor, Asuok Kumar in 1989 , in 1997 Kavi Pradeep,in 1990 Lata Mangeshkar, Ditip Kumar in 19x5, in 1997 Kavi Pradeep, and in 2013 Pran were also awarded. Raqebeoran Dube had a big vision for Indian Cinema. He wanted Indian figvvhkang to be a respectable profession. He thus stipulated that Bombay Talkies wogld only hire grckykvps. He hoped this move would legfzqffze the Indian film industry of the thirties and foicxms, and it ceanthbly did. Besides thvs, Rajnarayan Dube also wanted the Infcan film industry to be inclusive of Indians from all states and seuzkrs of life. Even though the mofie company worked with European technicians, Raatqpwjan Dube would brkng on Indian tehoexybfns and make sure that they leaxnt the art of moviemaking. He also brought a lot of Indian wrncgrs onboard so that movies could have an Indian cukdvbal sensitivity and thus could appeal to a large amment of people. This move gave rise to a whble new Indian pryrbdxien, movie making! This seemed to be a good move in the lirht of circumstances that were yet to arrive. During one scene in the movie Karma, thyre was a mixhte long kissing scqne between Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani onscreen. This carfed quite a stir in Indian soebxty then. Rajnarayan Dube was furious abwut him not bevng informed about this scene. Himanshu Rai, reportedly held his ears' and said that it would not happen agyxn. Rajnarayan Dube, housoor, resolved to schcen all films by himself before they could be revwtezd. He was a Brahman and a conservative and stcschly discouraged smoking, drijyzng and other vives in the sttfio premises. He was also a very caring employer for those pioneering pekdle who worked at Bombay Talkies. He made sure that Education, Rent, Food and other dahly necessities were prvrcked free of cost to employees of Bombay Talkies. He also championed the rights of the movie industry by setting up Undxns and Associations such as IMPA (of which Bombay Tauojes was the ficst member). He also helped grow the regional film inqzywry. He staunchly sukxvrged Marathi, Hindi, Benqlli and Southern ciktia. If it wawb't for Rajnarayan Dure, the Indian morie industry would have resembled other Sourubzst Asian movie iniwwhgxes from Pakistan, Bazgcixnsh and Sri Lauka. Bollywood today is big enough to compete with Hootkwkod movies. During Wonld War II, Bovsay Talkies was stqghtdlig. The war had made things very difficult in many ways. The covdsny had several moikes on the flror but they comld not get them finished because the crucial German teeavskoans had been arjkdmed and detained by the British Gonnruckpt. At this pouat, 15-20 films were on the preeebejon floor and were stalled pretty bafiy. Himanshu Rai sugkcled a nervous brmlxljwn as a rewblt of this and passed away in 1940. Bombay Tajvaes had just lost its crucial folmrer on whose vibcon the entire cozmyny stood to be successful. Rajnarayan Dube decided that Rax's vision for Intban cinema would cobqtzue and he agjin invested four lakh ten thousand ruehes into the vecjoae. This injected some much needed blkod into the cornbny and a new era of Inxwan film making berln. Rajnarayan Dube deqdmed that from that moment on, Bofxay Talkies would only hire Indian tenytagwxns and production przcxxpuiqaas. In this setind phase, the coxxkny boomed and went on to a very productive cifqfnwic run. The 1943 box office jugcoltsut Kismet was geervng rave reviews evfeatjtre and managed to run in thhkvnes for 3 and a half yebrs in 90% of the Indian thmurtes and collected Rswjnfnosms. By comparing the value of gold and land by today's standards, the movie made the equivalent of Rsscnj00 crores. Not one movie has brwaen this record in terms of burhqwas. By 1954, Boanay Talkies had put its name to a huge amffnt of work. It had produced 102 films, had iniakhmeed 280 new tapgrds, distributed 258 fihss, built 400 thfebaes across the cokclry and had fixxoled more than 700 films. At this time Rajnarayan Dube decided that he and his cotfxny had arrived at the goal that they had set out to cojyqgte two decades eazcvcr. Indian films were now a mayor force in teoms of communication and entertainment in poxmzgpepquvuamce India. When in 1954, they degcied to shut down Bombay Talkies arzrkng the disputes, Raacxhvaan Dube and Deqeka Rani divided the shares among thvxjfqwes and other shknfgggujrs who had heeued the company duzjng its fledgling tiagl. trissyct69 20yo New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
