Colour movie

[edit]

>> Incidentally, it was also the first Malayalam movie in colour.

It is not the first Malayalam colour movie. Kandam bacha kottu in 1961 was the first M movie to have sequences in colour (like Mughal-e-Azam). Chemmeen may be the first full length colour movie, but we need a more solid reference to confirm that. Tintin Talk 19:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. Though "Chemmeen" and "Colour" in Google give lot of links saying that Chemmeen is the first Malayalam Color movie, this article in The Hindu suggests that it was one of the earliest colour films made in cinemascope in Malayalam. OK then, give me another fact asap for listing it on DYK ;-) --Gurubrahma 20:29, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Have to pass the buck to Pournami. I have no books with me to refer or confirm. Tintin Talk 21:06, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you search for "kandam bacha" in google, it comes up with three or four links like [1] and [2] which says that it was the first full length colour movie. I am more confused now ! Tintin Talk 22:23, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Chemmeen was not first colour movie in malayalam; it was kandam bacha coat-1961; 4 years before it. "one of the first" seems ok; whether it was first cinemascope in M i don't really know. -Pournami 17:02, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late note, everyone! I recall reading on another Wikipedia article that the first Malayalam color movie was called Balan. Then again, I don't know whether that was a full-length color movie, either! In any case, the fact that this movie was one of the first full-length color movies seems to have been a major selling point for Chemmeen. Of course, the fact that the original novel was already somewhat popular didn't hurt! --Kuaichik 02:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Balan was the first talkie. It was in B&W (and made in 1938). The other page is wrong. Tintin 05:31, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Separation of Article

[edit]

The article need to be separated. The novel and film need to have different pages. I think the contents of this page can stay, while the film page can have produation, cast, crew and reception details, adding of which here may be unsuitable--Anoopkn (talk) 07:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
