About Us
It would be cherished more than just for the sake of nostalgia. It’s
history would be food for thought for the connoisseurs of cinema for
more reasons than just the fact that it was the first ever made cinema in
Oriya.
“Sita Bibaha” was the saga of relentless struggle for a manifestation of
Oriya identity in celluloid form. It is a trenchant reminder that Oriya film
industry culminated from a undying determination of dreamers on their
path to materialise, facing odds, at home and from outside.
It was the year of Oriya resurgence. 1936 was marked by a formation
of a new entity of a nation in its political outlook. Culture could only
follow suit. And even six days before the historic April 1, the first prints
for the 12-reeled “Saita Bibaha” was already produced.
Puri’s ‘Lakshmi Talkies’ first released the cinema which would
subsequently be screened as a ‘touring picture’ (one whose reels
travel places to be screened from inside tents at places having no
cinema halls). Entire charges for the production of the cinema (and the
screening charge of Rs 175 per week) was borne by Mohan Sundar.
Mohan Sundar as the producer then had to seek loan to pay all the
artistes. According to the vouchers signed by the artists, Makhanlal
(Ram) had received Rs 120 on October 30, 1935. Adaita Ballabha
Mohanty (Laxman) was paid just Rs 35 as conveyance fee. And
incidentally, the actress Miss Prabhabati (Sita) received the highest
among the lot, Rs 150.
The total expenditure incurred to make the first ever commercial movie
in the history of Orissa was Rs 29,781 and 10 anna. The picture was
subjected to Bengal Board of Film Certificate and the police
commissioner of Lal Bazaar awarded it the censor certificate.
Nobody would claim the movie to be a flawless venture. But the very
fact that it was first such adventure in the last sixty-five years of Oriya
cinema suffices it to be termed commendable.
While congratulating the efforts in concretely producing a cap that
would adorn many feathers later, the cinema critic of the day, Mr Atanu
for “Utkal Deepika” (in its May 1, 1936 edition) minced no words in
coming on heavily on the flaws of the film. Pronouncing the acting
talents of Mohan Gosein (in role of Biswamitra) as “Cadaverous”, he
went a step further to criticise the choice of Miss Prava as Sita
(because his personal preference was Miss Chandraprabha who had
enacted the role of Sita’s ‘sakhi’).
However the “flawless” performance of Narasingha Nandasharma as
the boatman as well as Makhanlal Banerjee as Sri Ram were well
received. The fourteen songs encapsulated in the movie amidst
mythological interpretations were written collectively by Mohan Sundar
and Nandasharma.
What sets apart this cinema even when it is compared to this date, is
the fact that all singers for the movie were from Orissa and Mohan
Sundar knew his job well to maintain traditional music of the land in
the cinema.
The settings of the songs and dances were carefully chosen. Rishi
Biswamitra arrives at the court of King Dasaratha to seek help of Ram
and Laxman to combat the Asuras. A group song envelopes the
durbar. Both the princes follow Biswamitra to an Ashram where a
jagnya is underway. Tadaka and Subahu who then arrive to disrupt
have to face the wrath of Ram. Tadaka dies while Subahu flees. A
contented Biswamitra then welcomes the brother duo to Rishi
Goutam’s Ashram. A major welcome song is then played in the
cinema: “Ei je Ashrama Dekhuchha Sr Ram, Ei je banabaasa.”
Post welcome, another song is sung in praise of Ram, “Debanka
Tarane, Danuja Marane.” Among other songs in the film are “Apurba
Kumari Tripura Sundari” as an ode to Janaki’s beauty. Miss Prava in
role of Sita, likewise, sings “Kali dekhithili madhura chaliki” which is
jovially joined in by Sita’s Sakhis who sing “Kahniki go priya sakhi?”
It was the arrival of the first complete Oriya film. And it was a
commercial success too. If popularity is any yardstick of any film’s
success, it was a runaway hit. The two-hour long movie was released
in Lakshmi Theatre, Puri and subsequently at Cinema Palace in
Cuttack. It was drawing numerous crowd at several touring
assignments like the ones conducted by “Radhakishen Chamelia
Touring Cinema”. Not everyone could get a chance to watch the
cinema in want of space for the first few days, as quoted by veteran
Oriya filmmaker Gopal Ghosh to chronicler Sarat Chandra.
