in 1937 ardeshir irani, of "alam ara" fame, made the first colour film in hindi, "kisan kanya". the next year, he made another colour film, a version of "mother india". however, colour did not become a popular feature until the late 1950s. at this time, lavish romantic musicals and melodramas were the staple fare at the cinema.
