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.
THE FIRST TALKIEThe 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.
Kalidas
Bhakt Prahlad
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).

By the late 1940s, films were being made in various Indian languages with religion
being the dominant theme.
1940s to late 1950s was also the golden era of music. The duo Shankar Jaikishan(S-
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.
O.P. Nayyar
S.D. Burman
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.
Satyajit Ray
K.A. Abbas
1970s
The 70s completely changed the way films were made, especially in Hindi
film industry. Changing social norms and changing economies influenced
movies and the companies that made them.
The popular Hindi hits of the decade include Kamal Amrohi's Pakeeza;
Rajkapoor's Bobby; Devar's Haathi Mere Saathi, Ramesh Sippy's Sholay,
Zanjeer, Deewar,Khoon Pasina, Yaadon Ki Baarat, Yash Chopra’s Kabhi
Kabhi;Dharamveer, Amar Akbar Anthony, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, and
Muquaddar Ka Sikandar.
Of these majority of the films were action oriented with revenge as the
dominating theme.
It was the age of the angry young man and Amitabh Bachchan rose to
prominence with the success of Sholay, Zanjeer and Deewar.
While Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Jitendra and Dharmendra continued to bask in
the glory of back to back hits, the actresses were not far behind. Right from the
time of Savitri, Vyjayanthi Mala, Nargis, Waheeda Rahman and Sharmila Tagore to
Sridevi, Rekha, Smita Patil, Hema Malini, several actresses became the heartthrobs
of India.
1980s and 90s
The new cinema movement continued with full spirit in
the next decade (eighties) also. Shyam Benegal
presented some good movies like Manthan, Bhumika,
Nishant, Junoon, and Trikal. Nihlani's Aaghat and Tamas
were remarkable works.
Other important films with new style of treatment
include Damul(Prakash Jha), 36 Chowringhee
Lane(Aparna Sen), Umrao Jaan (Musafir Ali), Andhi Gali
(Buddhadeb Dasgupta), Aajka Robin Hood (Tapan
Sinha), etc.
The late eighties and early nineties saw the revival of the
musical love stories in Hindi cinema.
Mr. India, Tezaab, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyar
Kiya, Chandni, Tridev, Hum, Ghayal, Saudagar, Rakhwala, Jo
Jeeta Wohi Sikander,Heena,Hum Hain Rahi Pyarke, Baazigar,
Aaina, Yeh Dillagi, Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, Krantiveer, Raja,
Rangeela were some of the popular Hindi films of the last
decade.
90s was a mixed genre of romantic, thrillers, action and comedy films.
Stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Rajnikanth, Madhuri Dixit, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan,
Chiranjeevi, Juhi Chawla,etc.,. enriched Indian cinema with their performances.
THE NEW MILLENNIUM
• Now, the Indian cinema has reached the new millennium and a
revolution of sorts has happened in terms of defining glamour,
entertainment, commercial values, budgeting, marketing and box
office reports.
• Films like Lagaan, Salaam Bombay and Monsoon Wedding making the
international market sit up and take notice definitely indicate that India
is poised for bigger things as far as Cinema goes. Monsoon Wedding
was the all-time top 10 foreign box-office hits in America
• . Today Indian Cinema ,especially, Hindi cinema is not only popular in
India but in parts of the Middle East, Pakistan, UK and virtually every
other place where Indians live.
