Sita Bibaha - the first odia movie
The first ever Oriya Film “Sita Bibaha” was made Under the Banner of “Kali
Films”, directed and produced by Mohan Sundar Dev Goswami in the year 1934.The
dialogues written by Adweta Mohanty and the Sound Arrangements by Haricharan Mohanty.
Mohan Sundar Dev Goswami, Makhanlal Banarjee, Krushnachandra Singh, Ramachandra Lal,
Narasingha Nanda, Adweta Mohanty, Prabhabati Devi, Radharani, Laxmipriya and Parbati were
the artists in lead role. This Film was first premiered on 28th April 1936 at Laxmi
Talkies of Puri.
The film was a culmination of unflinching faith of Mohan Sundar Dev Goswami who struggled with phenomenal odds to give Orissa a new identity in celluloid form. Oriya films thus did not have a tryst with silent movies. The path was set for talkie films. Produced with an investment of only Rs 30,000, the film had 14 song sequences. The 12-reeled film had in its cast line Makhanlal Banerjee (Ram) who received only Rs 120 for his performance, Aditya Ballav Mohanty (Lakhsman) who got only Rs 35 as conveyance allowance and Prabhabati Devi (Sita) who was paid the highest amount of Rs 150. Despite it being the first Oriya film with several drawbacks in every section of its making, the two-hour-long movie generated great enthusiasm among the people
