Joydeb
(1926) happened to be the first film of
KANAN. Little did the
little girl know then that she |
|
would
create history in Indian cinema one day………….. Director Jyotish Bandyopadhyay |
| handled the child well and
KANAN
as a child became his admirer and depended upon him for |
| guidance-their
association continued till 1935………Kanan's
fee for Joydeb was Rupees |
| Twenty Five, a handsome
amount those days, but she received Rupees Five only, the rest |
| went to middlemen……. Joydeb was also the first film of Renubala,
a popular stage heroine |
| and character actress in
films …..Jahar Ganguly did a bit role in
Joydeb. It is not known |
| generally that
this was his first film. The name of Gita (1931-silent) produced by Radha
Films is |
| wrongly credited as his
first film…. |
