Which was the last silent (and therefore Pan-Bharatiya) movie of India?

The honour goes to 'Setu Bandhan' of Dada Saheb Phalke, which was not only the last silent movie - but also the first dubbed movie of India. Short film of 9 mins, made in 1932, and the personal favourite of Phalke.

The last silent movie that I know is Pushpak in 1988.
