Dharti Ki Aawaz (Bhojpuri for The Voice of the Earth) is a 1987 Bhojpuri social drama film directed by K. D. Singh.[1][2] The film was produced by Bhuvneshwar Jha and Jawaharlal Jha under the banner of Jawahar Picture Palace Productions. The film stars Sujit Kumar, Padma Khanna, Kunal Singh in the lead roles with Manoj Verma, Bandini Mishra and Shweta appearing in supporting roles.[3]
Dharti Ki Aawaz was produced by producers Bhuvneshwar Jha and Jawaharlal Jha shortly after the release of their film Ganga Ki Beti (1986), one of the notable box office successes of Bhojpuri cinema in the 1980s.[4] The producers brought back K. D. Singh—who had directed Ganga Ki Beti—to direct Dharti Ki Awaaz, and again hired Onkar, the earlier film's music composer, to score the soundtrack. The film's significance was further shaped by the ensemble of established actors cast in the lead roles. Sujit Kumar, one of the principal stars, is widely regarded as the first superstar of Bhojpuri cinema.[5] Kunal Singh, another lead actor, became one of the industry's most bankable stars following a run of commercially successful films such as Dharti Maiya (1981) and Ganga Kinare Mora Gaon (1983).[6] Lastly, Padma Khanna, the principal female lead, has been described as a "superstar" of Bhojpuri cinema.[7]
