The first Bollywood movie was Raja Harishchandra, which was presented to the audience way back in 1913. The man behind the making of the film was Dadasaheb Phalke. The idea came into Phalke’s mind after he saw Christ’s life 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 was produced to declare Pundalek as the first Indian film; however, the authorities consider Raja Harishchandra as the first Indian film with Pundalek 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.

Later in the year, 1937 finally, the Indian audience witnessed their first color film, Kisan Kanya- using the color quality from the Cinecolor feature film directed by Moti B Gidwani and produced by Ardeshir Irani.

The movie could not succeed at the box-office but has been given the credit of being the first Bollywood movie in color or the first Indian film in color- Wikipedia report.

Later in the year 1998, the film was re-released with some add-on footage, which again proved to be a hit and had Urmila Matondkar. It was a children’s fantasy movie. The movie was a disaster at its first week, but later after one week, it became the highest grosser.
