In Band Baaja Baaraat fate brings two students at Delhi University together in a wedding planning business.  A big musical dance number and romance can’t be far behind.

Check out the trailer for all the fun!

This twelve minute silent film is perhaps the first college film.  A professor of drama is instructing a college student on a scene but he becomes carried away with the part and tries to make love to the lovely student.  The young woman’s father bursts into the room, witnesses the professor’s advances and tosses the professor out of the window.

The film no longer exists but a record of it appears in the American Mutoscope & Biograph Company catalog.  Unfortunately, many films from this period no longer exist.
