== History ==
''Biharbandhu'' was launched in 1872 by Keshav Ram Bhatta, a [[Marathi people|Maharashtrian]] [[Brahman]] who had settled in [[Bihar-E-Sharif|Biharsharif]].<ref name="journalism">Ahmad Qeyamuddin, ''Patna Through the ages: Glimpses of History, Society and Economy, Commonwealth Publishers'', New Delhi, 1988</ref> Hindi journalism in Bihar, and specially [[Patna]], made little headway at the time due to lack of respect for the Hindi language. Many Hindi publications did not last, or were shelved before launching.<ref>Rajendra Abhinandan Granth, ''"Nagri Pracharini Sabha"'', Arrah, 3 March 1950, pp. 353</ref> Hindi journalism also acquired wisdom and maturity, elements that took time for journalists to master.

Hindi was introduced in the law courts in Bihar in 1880<ref name="journalism" /><ref>Kumar N., ''Journalism in Bihar'', A Supplement to Bihar State Gazette pp. 28</ref> and started to have an impact in [[Extreme points of Earth#Remoteness|remote]] areas in Bihar.

The beginning of the 20th century was marked by notable new publications, including a monthly magazine, ''Bharat Ratna'', published in Patna in 1901. It was followed by ''Kshatriya Hitaishi'', ''Aryavarta'' from Dinapure, [[Patna]], ''Udyoga'' and ''Chaitanya Chandrika''.<ref>''Bihar ki Sahityik Pragati'', Bihar Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Patna 1956, pp. 73</ref> ''Udyog'' was edited by Vijyaanand Tripathy, a famous poet of the time, while ''Chaitanya Chandrika'' was edited by Krishna Chaitanya Goswami. Literary activities reached many districts of Bihar.<ref name="journalism" /><ref>''Jayanti Smarak Granth'', pp. 583-585</ref>

Magahi Parishad, established in Patna in 1952, pioneered [[Magadhi]] journalism in Bihar, by starting the monthly journal, ''Magadhi'', later renamed ''Bihan''. As technology progressed, Bihar TV India was established in Samastipur in 2018 by Sumit Sourav.

Bihar has a film industry. Small [[Maithili language|Maithili]] and [[Angika]] language film industries also operate. The first Bhojpuri film ''[[Ganga Maiyya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo]]''. "Lagi Nahin Chute Ram" is recognized as a classic. Released at the same time as [[Mughal-e-Azam|''Mughal-E-Azam'']], the former generated significant interest in eastern and northern regions. [[Nadiya Ke Paar (1982 film)|''Nadiya Ke Paar'']] is among the most famous [[Bhojpuri]] movies. Bhojpuri film industry made history in 1962 with the well-received film ''[[Ganga Maiyya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo]]'' ("Mother Ganges, I will offer you a yellow sari"), directed by Kundan Kumar.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233774/ IMDB] {{webarchive|url=https://www.webcitation.org/6AC5gLhTx?url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233774/ |date=2012-08-26 }}</ref> Throughout the following decades, releases were infrequent. Films such as ''Bidesiya'' ("Foreigner," 1963, directed by S. N. Tripathi) and ''Ganga'' ("Ganges," 1965, directed by Kundan Kumar) were profitable and popular in Bihar, but in general Bhojpuri films were not commonly produced in the 1960s and 1970s.

In the 1980s, enough Bhojpuri films were produced to nourish an industry. Films such as ''Mai'' ("Mom," 1989, directed by Rajkumar Sharma) and ''Hamar Bhauji'' ("My Brother's Wife," 1983, directed by Kalpataru) continued to have at least sporadic success at the box office. However, this trend faded out by the end of the decade, and by 1990, the nascent industry seemed finished.<ref>Tripathy, Ratnakar (2007) 'BHOJPURI CINEMA', South Asian

The industry took off again in 2001 with the hit ''Saiyyan Hamar'' ("My Sweetheart" directed by Mohan Prasad), which shot the film's lead actor, [[Ravi Kishan]], to stardom.)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060414/asp/etc/story_6075200.asp |title=Mallika makes music |access-date=2009-10-15 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6AC5guab5?url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060414/asp/etc/story_6075200.asp |archive-date=2012-08-26 }}</ref> These successes led to dramatic increases in visibility, and the industry grew to support an awards show<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bhojpurifilmaward.com/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-10-10 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091102163552/http://www.bhojpurifilmaward.com/ |archive-date=2009-11-02 }}</ref> and a trade magazine, ''Bhojpuri City''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bhojpuricity.com/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-10-10 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090904183654/http://www.bhojpuricity.com/ |archive-date=2009-09-04 }}</ref> that chronicles the production and release of what are now over one hundred films per year. Many [[Bollywood]] stars, including [[Amitabh Bachchan]] and [[Ajay Devgn|Ajay Devgan]] have worked in Bhojpuri films.
