Indias First silent Film....

Raja Harishchandra is a 1913 silent Indian film directed and produced by Marathi icon Dadasaheb Phalke, and is the first full-length Indian feature film and marathi feature film.The film was based on the legend of King Harishchandra, recounted in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
Some have argued that Raja Harishchandra does not deserve the honour of being called the first Indian film because Dadasaheb Torne's film Shree Pundalik was released on 18 May 1912 in Mumbai i.e. One year before Phalke's film.
Cast:
Dattatraya Damodar Dabke as Raja Harishchandra
Salunke as Taramati[3]
Bhalachandra D. Phalke
G.V. Sane as Vishwamitra
