NEW DELHI: Today's Google doodle commemorates Dadasaheb Phalke, who's called the 'father of Indian cinema', on the instance of his 148th delivery anniversary.
Phalke gave Indian cinema its first silent movie, 'Raja Harishchandra', in 1913. He made 95 motion pictures and 27 brief films in his occupation spanning 19 years.
Today's doodle by artist Aleesha Nandhra portrays a tender Phalke directing actors, wielding the camera and modifying movie.
Phalke used to be born in Trimbak, in present-day Maharashtra, and his father used to be a famous student. The younger Phalke advanced a keen passion in the arts and went on to study, at quite a lot of points, an array of disciplines, together with photography, lithography, structure, engineering, and even magic, says Google's write-up on the filmmaker.
While Phalke used to be operating as a painter and theatre set designer he chanced upon Alice Guy's silent movie, 'The Life of Christ' (1910). That's when he resolved to convey Indian tradition to the silver display screen. He traveled to London to be informed filmmaking from Cecil Hepworth, a British director, manufacturer and screenwriter who is regarded as one of the most founders of the British movie business
In 1969, the government paid homage to Phalke by setting up the Dadasaheb Phalke awards recognizing lifetime contributions to Indian cinema.
