I've been reading about Dada Saheb Phalke and learned that he directed India's first full-length feature film, Raja Harishchandra. I'm curious about how his work transformed Indian cinema and why the Dadasaheb Phalke Award is considered the country's highest film honor. Which of his achievements do you think had the greatest impact on the Indian film industry? I'd also like recommendations for books or documentaries about his life and contributions. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
