2. BIRTH OF THE INDIAN CINEMA
Bal Gangadhar Tilak admired movies and supported Dadasaheb Phalke in
his attempts in creating a swadeshi cinema.
He was the first in Marathi press to carry film reviews in his daily
newspaper Kesari.
Dadasaheb Phalke, released his epochal feature film Raja Harishchandra
on 3rd May 1913 and thus he was called as the father of Indian Cinema.
This was the first motion picture premiered on 21st April 1913.
3. THE FIRST TALKIEThe silent era came to an end when Ardeshir Irani
produced his first talkie, 'Alam Ara' in 1931.
If Phalke was the father of Indian cinema, Irani was
the father of the talkie. The talkies changed the face
of Indian cinema.
Both the movie and its music were widely successful
Including the hit song "De de khuda ke naam per",
which was also the first song of the Indian cinema.
Apart from looks, the actors not only needed a
commanding voice but also singing skills, as music
became a defining element in Indian cinema.
The year also marked the beginning of the Talkie era in
South Indian films. The first talkie films in Bengali (Jumai
Shasthi), Telugu (Bhakta Prahlad) and Tamil (Kalidas)
were also released in the same year.

4. THE 1930sThe thirties is recognized as the decade of social protest in the history of
Indian Cinema. Three big banners - Prabhat, Bombay Talkies and New
Theatres gave the lead in making serious but gripping and entertaining
films for all classes of the wide audience.
A number of films making a strong plea against social injustice were also
made in this period like V. Santharam's Duniya na Mane, Aadmi and
Padosi; Franz Osten's Achut Kanya.
Others are Damle & Fatehlal's Sant Tukaram; Mehboob's Watan, Ek hi
Raasta and Aurat.
For the first time Ardeshir Irani attempted a colour picutre in 1937with
Kisan Kanya.
The decade also witnessed the release of the first talkie films in Marathi
(Ayodhiyecha Raja- 1932); Gujarati (Narasinh Mehta - 1932); Kannada
(Dhurvkumar - 1934); Oriya (Sita Bibaha - 1934); Assamese(Joymati -
1935); Punjabi (Sheela- 1935) and Malayalam (Balan - 1938).

5. By the late 1940s, films were being made in various Indian languages with religion
being the dominant theme.

J), O.P. Nayyar, Madan Mohan, C. Ramchandra, Salil Chaudhury, Naushad, S.D.
Burman - all had their distinctive style.
Each vied with the other to produce some of the most unforgettable melodies India
has ever known.

6. THE GOLDEN AGE
50s and 60s were considered as the Golden Age of Indian cinema.
The first International Film Festival of India held in early 1952 at
Bombay had a great impact on the Indian Cinema.
The big turning point came in 1955 with the arrival of Satyajit Ray
and his classic Pather Panchali which opened up a new path
leading the Indian film to the World Film scene.
International recognition came to it with the Cannes award for
best human document followed by an unprecedented crop of
foreign and national awards.
The first Indo-Soviet co-production Pardesi by K.A.Abbas was also
made during the fifties.
The sixties began with a bang with the release of K.Asif's Mughal-
E-Azam which set a record at the box-office.

The 70s completely changed the way films were made, especially in Hindi
film industry. Changing social norms and changing economies influenced

Kabhi;Dharamveer, Amar Akbar Anthony, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, and

prominence with the success of Sholay, Zanjeer and Deewar.
