Kohinoor Film Company

Kohinoor Film Company was an Indian film studio established in 1918 by Dwarkadas Sampat (1884-1958).[1][2]

Along with Ranjit Movietone and the Imperial Film Company it was the largest movie studio when Indian talkies began in the 1930s.[3]

Kohinoor didn't just produce some of the most successful films of its era. The studio also trained such people as Nandlal Jaswantlal and Mohan Bhavnani, and produced artists such as Goharbai, Zebunissa and Rampiyari.
