 In 1934, "Sati Sulochana", the first Kannada talking picture to be released, was shot in Kolhapur, Maharashtra; "Srinivasa Kalyanam" became the first Tamil talkie actually shot in Tamil Nadu.Once the first talkie features appeared, the conversion to full sound production happened as rapidly in India as it did in the United States.Already by 1932, the majority of feature productions were in sound; two years later, 164 of the 172 Indian feature films were talking pictures.
