Thanks to the efforts of two of my Delhi friends who procured this film and a few more who put up the money,. I am able to present the audio songs. The quality of the original is not that good. Couple of friends of mine are experts in cleaning. I will probably post the cleaned versions at a later date. Enjoy!

Tanar Single-System Camera
Starting a new series of brief notes by me. Hoping to publish on a daily basis
One reads in various books and articles that Ardeshir Irani shot Alam Ara (1931) on a single-system Tanar camera. Single System means that the audio and video were recorded on the same film negative at the same time, solving the problem of sound synchronization. We see here Mr Irani recording the film and we see a big box.
(Photo from the book So Many Cinemas by B D Garga). That is all people knew for a long time. Thanks to modern science, we now have the Internet. Here is an ad of the Tanar System from the magazine American Cinematographer, January 1931.
In the second photo the famous Douglas Fairbanks (not Jr, but Sr) with two boxes, endorsing it as a portable talkie making system to sound-film your vacation! The first one gives more info. According to Irani, they used to take the two boxes everywhere for outdoor shooting. The foreign expert Mr Wiford Demming charged Rs 100 per month for training Mr Irani and Mr Rustam Bharucha. They learnt how to assemble it and use it.
Now you know!

You may have heard/read that Govinda's last name is Ahuja. You may have also heard/read that his dad was Aroon Kumar Ahuja, who played the role of the husband who abandoned his wife in the first version of Mother India, viz. Aurat (1940). Some of you may have also heard/read that he was actually a Sikh named Gulshan Singh Ahuja! Here is a note about him from 1942.
Now you know!
