The first Bollywood movie was Raja Harishchandra, which was presented to the audiences way back in the year 1913. The man behind the making of the film was Dadasaheb Phalke. The idea came into the mind of Phalke after he saw The life of Christ in 1906 in Mumbai.
There has been a conspiracy and debate about which film to be called the first Indian film. As per Indian Motion Picture Producers Association, there was another film which was released before Raja Harishchandra named Pundalek, but experts are not ready to accept it as a film, they say it was a play rather than a movie.
Evidence were produced to declare Pundalek as the first Indian film; however the authorities consider Raja Harishchandra as the first Indian film with Pundalek to be called a theatre play. Raja Harishchandra was released on 3rd May 1913 at a hall called Coronation Cinematograph and Variety Hall, in Mumbai.
The movie had no audio, explanations about the scenes of the film were done through intertitles. The movie gave Dadasaheb Phalke the recognition of being called as the father of Indian Cinema.
