Dhoop Chhaon or Bhagya Chakra (also Known as 'Sun and Shade' or 'Wheel of Fate') is a 1935 Hindi movie directed by Nitin Bose. It was a remake of the Bengali film Bhagya Chakra. Dhoop Chhaon was the first Hindi film to use playback singing.[1] It was Bose who came up with the idea of playback singing. He discussed with music director Raichand Boral and Bose's brother Mukul Bose, who was the sound recordist in New Theatres, and who implemented the idea.[2]
