Bombay Talkies
The Bombay Talkies Limited (commonly known as Bombay Talkies), founded in 1934 in Malad, Bombay (now Mumbai), India by Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani, was a high-tech movie studio of its time, with sound and echo-proof stages, laboratories and editing rooms, and preview theatre. It was the first movie company of India, which was a public limited company and was registered as a company under the Indian Companies Act. Bombay Talkies emerged as a well organized, self-sufficient, and profitable company. It made public issues, declared dividends and bonus, and at its heyday commanded a good standing on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
