Early landmarks include Sri Lokanath (1960) , the first Odia film to receive a National Award, and Nua Bou (1961) , which brought the industry national attention.
In the mid-2010s, a strange thing happened. A young software engineer in Bangalore typed "Odia old song" into YouTube. He found a grainy, 240p upload of a song from Danda Balunga (1975).
