The History of Indian Cinema and Its Biggest Stars
Long before films turned into glossy blockbusters with dance sequences and extravagant sets, Indian cinema began its journey with silent frames and cultural storytelling. In 1913, Raja Harishchandra, directed by Dadasaheb Phalke, marked the start of what would become one of the most diverse and vibrant film industries in the world. This silent feature was a mythological drama that set the tone for decades of storytelling rooted in folklore, spirituality, and tradition.
