Anybody who has read even one decent book on Indian film history knows that in the talkie era, the first song-less film was Wadia Movietone's Naujavan (1937). People felt cheated by the absence of songs and dances and according to some reports, people broke the furniture in a Bombay cinema hall.

From Hindi Film Geet Kosh Volume 1

Notwithstanding this, Indian Express published an article saying that it was BR Chopra's Qanoon (1960).
