- Explore the Remarkable Journey of India's Last 'Touring Talkies,' Bringing Cinema to Remote Villages! 🎥🚚
In India, travelling cinemas, aka «Touring Talkies», have been a cultural and popular tradition, for almost a century now. If there were still a thousand of them around the country in the 1970’s, today, at times of digital technology, there are no more than ten tirelessly carrying their old scratched reels to remote villages. Their arrival is still a major event, a sort of enchanted interlude for the inhabitants, who often live isolated. Anup Jagdale has inherited the touring cinema from his father. Onboard his old rattling and colorful truck, he takes his «talkies» across the state of Maharashtra, one of the largest and most populated in India, with valleys and high plateaus stretching to the Arabian Sea. Ancient equipment and unchanging gestures create every night the same small miracle, thanks to worn-out reels, an old white canvas, a projector from the early 1930’s and a big tent. Anup has brought Promot along on this trip, a boy from his village who wants to learn the business. Driving at around 40km per hour, days on the road are long. But they must keep up tradition. Day after day, road after road, they reach out to new audiences so that their dream of cinema can continue...

That's Cinema Paradisio in India🎉🎉❤❤
Amazing and Nostalgic. ❤ Great window to understand spiritual philosophy so deeply ingrained in Indian culture at the same time modernization and reach of English as second language penetrating even in Rural India
All those who are asking when this was recorded- its 2011.
Very interesting. I had no idea this service carried on. Very interesting indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it
Long back , in many a remote villages there were no theatre. To entertain them touring talkies came in existance. With passage of time these theatre vanished.
Kaha Gaye Wo Din ? Very sad ! ☹️😩😟😧😢

@@mennorombouts8479you're cruel my man...
These must be remote areas in Maharashtra but everyone is near a town with multiple cinema theatres. There is a bit of fiction here, like one guy saying he has never seen a movie.
Its hard to believe they arent just showing pirated movies, who would notice?
The flag on the truck looks red and white. Indonesian flag?
Guy seems to be hard core salman khan fan .
Aayein? Do you want to prove that India is too backwards or something?
Which village doesn't have cinema theatre in India?
