  • Andhare Alo (The Influence Of Love) a Bengali silent film, was directed by Sisir Bhaduri and Naresh Mitra. It was a debut production from Taj Mahal Films, Calcutta. The story was based on a love triangle written by Saratchandra Chatterjee. It's melodramatic content was appreciated by the critics. The film was claimed to be a "huge hit" at the box-office.[8]
  • Lady Teacher was a social comedy directed by Dhirendranath Ganguly, and is cited as one of the successes of 1922.[6]
  • Pati Bhakti also called Human Emotions was directed by J. J. Madan for his banner Madan Theatres Ltd. The film was based on a play by Harikrishna Jauhar. The Madras censors "demanded" the removal of an "obscene dance" scene.[9] It made actress Patience Cooper, who starred in the film, "one of the biggest star of that time".[citation needed] The film also featured some of the earliest kissing scenes.[10]
  • Sukanya Savitri directed by Kanjibhai Rathod for Kohinoor Film Company, starred Miss Moti, Sakina and Jamna. The story was by Mohanlal Dave. The film remains the only surviving work by Kohinoor and Rathod.[11]
