The Father of Indian cinema is Dadasaheb Phalke who was born as Dhundiraj Govind Phalke in 1870, in the Trimbak city of Nashik, Maharashtra, where his father was a priest and his mother was a homemaker in a family of nine people.He found his film company, Phalke Films Company, in 1912 and after toiling for almost eight months, the country got its first silent moving picture – Raja Harishchandra. Thus, the foundation of Indian cinema as we now know it was laid in 1913, more than three decades before India achieved its independence from British Raj.
