A great tribute to Mr. DadaSaheb Phalake

"HarishaChandrachi Factory" - a simple and wonderful movie....

Movie shows the struggle of a great and passionate man in very simple way.

Its about the first Indian film maker Mr. Dadasaheb Phalake.He happens to see the a cinema in a theater and wonders "what it is?", they all call it as "PaddyaVarach Natak". Till 1911 in india only stage plays were performed. He is amazed buy the idea of showing the moving pictures on the screen so he thinks of making one and thats how the then the journey begins of a very passionate person. He continuously watches movies and try to learn how it is happening.

He sells every single thing in the home to study "how to make movies" and head to london to learn the skill of Movie making. His family plays a big roll in his success. His wife Saraswati, very understanding and supportive to his work.

The first movie made by him was "Raja harishchandra" which is the first movie of Indian cinema. And then he went on making movies. Incidences shown in the movie are very organized and simple. Its a great Movie to watch.......

Some great moments:
