It is official movie first made in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. The Director died couple of years back, I forgot his name. In early twentieth century Nowabs of Bangla made some Home Videos [silent] they don't qualify for 'Movie'. I am sorry I can't quote the source, I learned from different TV Show/Magazines.

I know there were videos/documentary made before Mukh O Mukhosh. "Short Film" concept was not developed in those days. There is a term in Bangla, "Purno Doirgho Chhayachhobi", in that category, Mukh O Mukhosh is the pioneer. No one else is talking about it.

Bangla movie history goes back as far as back in 1898. First when Hiralal Sen had established the Royal Bioscope Company and organized shows in renowened theatre halls in calcutta. Later in early 1919's first Bangla Movie was made! The name of the movie was Billwamangal. Not Bilwamangal. No exact was found but that was the first bangla Movie. In 1931 first Bangla takie movie Jamai Sasthi was produced. Some also claim it to be Dena Paona. But the first recognized feature film in Bangladesh was ‘Mukh O Mukhosh’. It was released in 1956. I guess mehdianis didn't realize that the question was about Bangla Movie. not Bangladeshi. after all its a Bangla torrent site not Bangladeshi, isn't it? anyway make sure next time someone asks you, you can feel proud and say all these. After all you are a Bangali!

After all you are a Bangali! I am so disappointed on you guys :( ready for another one?? let me know. | I think you are right. Here is a link which you guys can visit. I didn't check this place hence I didn't know you guys are asking for first bengali movie ever made. Please have a look at the following website and you people will have the answer. http://www.calcuttaweb.com/cinema/ It's probably 1901 rather than 1889 when Hiralal Sen tried to complete a bengali movie from a popular bengali natok.Pricewatch is right about the first complete bengali movie, i.e Billwamangal...Before 1955, there were lots of movies were made in present Bengal, India. Infact famous bengali actor Uttamkumar made his debut in bengali movies in 1948 and that of Suchitra Sen was on 1953. Chobi Biswas (another legendary bengali actor) started his work on 1936 and kanadevi made her debut on 1926. I believe that Pahari Sanyal, Pramathesh Barua also started during same time like 1930s'. First movie of Satyajit Ray was on 1955. First movie of Mrinal Sen 1956. First movie by Rithwik Ghatak was on 1953 and that of Tapan Sinha was on 1954. |  02-02-2007, 01:56 AM | | Luminous | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 126 Thanks: 13 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Rep Power: 22 UL: 66.17 gb DL: 17.83 gb Ratio: 3.71 | | | Re: QuizTime: What is the first Bangla Movie ever?

Quote: | Originally Posted by analyze One easy question from my side Q. Which movie inspired Satyajit Ray to enter film making ? (based on his interviews/books) | I think he mentioned the itlaian movie "The Bicycle THief" quite often as his inspiration. I don't have his writings in front of me and last time I read them was about 5 ears ago, but if my memory serves me properly.... I netflixed this movie and saw it. It was a good movie but nothing special. Or maybe that's why I am only an audiencemember and not a acclaimed director. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT +6.
