Chandulal Shah entered the film industry in 1924 after the director of Laxmi Films fell ill and Shah was called upon to direct Vimla! He worked a while at Kohinoor Film Company and Miss Gohar starred in all five films. Two of them are:

1926 - Typist Girl.
1927 - Gun Sundari: The film broke away from the stereotypical submissive woman as the ideal. The wife (in this film) was a strong-charactered woman who retained her individuality and won her husband to her point of view.

However, most of Shah`s films questioned the accepted image of women as weak and long-suffering. Later, Shah and Miss Gohar joined Jagdish Films.

1928 - Vishwa Mohini & Griha Lakshmi
1929 - Chandramukhi.
1930 - Raj Laxmi.

Together, Shah and Miss Gohar formed Ranjit Film Company, and the partnership lasted 3 decades. They produced more than 30 silent films before the talkies arrived. Ranjit Film Company was renamed Ranjit Movietone and then continued the run of success. `Film mill` was the adjective often used to describe their company - a systematic and streamlined production system that created one hit after another. Some films:

1929 - Rajputani.
1930 - Castles in the Air, Desh Dipak, Outlaw of Sorath & Rasili Radha.
1932 - Toofan Mail.
1934 - Gun Sundari (talkie version).
