“W ill the sons of India ever see Indian Scenes on the screen”. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Dadasaheb Phalke himself wrote,” I Happened to watch the “Life of Christ” in the picture place called America India in Mumbai in 1910. I must have seen movies a number of times earlier, must have often gone their for recreation with friends or family. It marks a watershed in my life!
What it was, is difficult to describe, but it is certain that while the life of Christ was moving fast before my eyes, I was seeing in those places Bhagwan ShriKrishna in his Gokul, Bhagwan Shri Ram in his Ayodhya
The next two month.” it was axiomatic that no matter how powerful my enthusiasm, how strong my conviction about success, no financier would take a risk to go ahead unless he was actually shown something concrete.
I started showing movies at night by forcing candle light
on a lens and projecting the picture on a wall.
Determination to make Swadeshi pictures, Phalke imports equipments from England and, acting like a one-man unit, produces his first Indian Picture.
His film unfolded a world of gods, Demons and legendary beings,
miraculous and fantastic, but very real to the popular Hindu religious imagination.
