I appreciate your comment and the info/feedback. Undoubtedly, Alam Ara (1931) is the first Indian talkie. However, the publicity poster or advertisement for Karma published in the Times of India dated 10 February 1934 describes the film as the "first Indian talkie with English dialogue which set all London talking," which is why I have placed that description within quotation marks. Obviously Karma is NOT the first Indian talkie-- rather it is the first Indian talkie WITH ENGLISH DIALOGUE.

How can 'Karma' be called an 'Indian talkie'? And, it is certainly NOT the first! 'Karma' (1933), scripted by Niranjan Pal was essentially a Himanshu Rai initiative with Himanshu Rai & Devika Rani playing the lead roles. With an all Indian cast it was shot at the UFA Studios of Germany and was directed by Franz Osten. Himanshu Rai's first film initiative 'The Light of Asia' (1925) also had English speaking all Indian cast and the same technical team. The film was shot at Berlin's Emelka studio.

The entire film, except for the songs, was in English. This movie also featured an on-screen kiss of real-life husband and wife Himansu Rai & Devika Rani. India during colonial times was actually much more accepting of these sorts of things. Today, "romance" is basically overpaid actors and actresses half-naked, offending everyone in India and abroad. Society is too conservative, and the film and media industries are too liberal, neither of which are healthy or positive.
