With Alam Ara's phenomenon success other 'All Talking All Singing All Dancing' productions were hurriedly put into production. Alam Ara was followed by Jamai Sashti, the first Bengali Talkie and then by Shirin Farhad featuring the most popular singing pair of the Urdu Stage - Jahan Ara Kajjan and Master Nissar. It is said that a Punjabi Tonga driver in Lahore pawned his horse to see the film 22 times! Recorded on RCA photophone sound system, the film was not only technically superior to Alam Ara but also contained three times as many songs. In fact, all early sound films produced in India had a profusion of songs - it is said that Indrasabha starring Master Nissar and Jahan Ara Kajjan had as many as 71 songs!
