Explanation

"Jamai Shasthi" (1931), directed by Amar Choudhury, was the first Bengali talkie (sound film). This landmark film introduced synchronized sound to Bengali cinema, marking the transition from silent films. While "Harishchandra" was an important early Bengali silent film, it was not a talkie. "Nishkriti" came later. The film's title refers to the Bengali festival celebrating sons-in-law.
