Explanation

The film Raja Harishchandra was made during the Indian silent era. The movie revolved around the epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Indian society in those days did not allow the women to perform the acts in the films. Thus, Phalke chose A. A.Salunke (a young man) to play the role of a woman in the film. J.F Madan, who was the owner of the Madan Theaters released the movie “Indra Sabha” in 1932. The movie had around 70 songs including a few ghazals in Urdu. By the year 1935, studios started emerging across the major cities such as Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai etc. Bombay Talkies came up in the year 1935 and it was owned by Himanshu Rai. V.Shantaram set up the Prabhat Film Co in Bombay (later on shifted to Pune).
