Comic, skeptical, to remove Personal Computer from movies (7)

I believe the answer is:

talkies

'movies' is the definition.
(talkie is a kind of movie)

'comic skeptical to remove personal computer' is the wordplay.
'comic' indicates an anagram.
'to remove' is a deletion indicator.
'personal computer' becomes 'PC' (abbreviation).
'skeptical' with 'pc' removed is 'sketial'.
'sketial' with letters rearranged gives 'TALKIES'.

'from' is the link.

(Another definition for talkies that I've seen is " The early movies, just after the silent era".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
