V. Shantaram had earlier produced a Marathi film Sairandhri (1933) which had scenes in color.[6][7] However, the film was processed and printed in Germany[6]Kisan Kanya was, therefore, India's first indigenously made color film.[6] Kisan Kanya was based on a novel by Saadat Hasan Manto[8] and focussed on the plight of poor farmers.[8]
Film pioneer Ardeshir Irani, who had produced notable films as Nala Damayanti (1920) which was India's first international co-production[9] (with Italy) and India's first talkie Alam Ara (1931) conceived the idea of producing a color film. The result of his efforts was the color film Kisan Kanya made with the Cinecolor process[8] whose process rights Irani had obtained from an American company.[8] The film performed moderately at the box-office.[8] Kisan Kanya was based on a novel by Saadat Hasan Manto[8] and focused on the plight of poor farmers.[8]

The first Indian color film to be made entirely in India (the earlier Sairandhri (1933) was processed and printed in Germany). This film was also more favorably received than its predecessor.
