''Paokhum Ama'', released in 1983, was the first Manipuri colour film (short feature). '' Langlen Thadoi'' (1984) was the first Manipuri full-length colour feature film. ''Lammei'' (2002) was the first Manipuri video film to have a commercial screening at a theatre. As the production of video films gained momentum, the Manipuri film ...
