Ardeshir Irani’s studio now a wedding hall where the first Indian Talkie “Alam Ara” was shot..Nothing remains of the film...I often come by and think how they shot in the nights when the trains fell silent ...the only living witness is the Rain tree that still stands.

People are asking me what films of Dilip Kumar are you screening .. Gunga Jamuna we can’t ..very few films of his early career survive or are in a condition that can be projected they may be on YouTube,Tapes,Pen drives but not good enough to be projected…it pains me deeply.
