alam ara
the status of "raja harischandra" as the first full-length indian feature film has been argued over. some film historians consider dadasaheb torne's silent film "shree pundalik" as the maiden indian film. torne's film was released on 18 may 1912 at the same theatre as "raja harischandra". an argument has also been made in favour of "raja harischandra" that "shree pundalik" is a cinematographic recording of a play, using a single, fixed camera and it was filmed by a british cameraman with the film stock processed in london. the government of india recognises "raja harischandra" as the first indian feature film. in 1969, it introduced the dadasaheb phalke award, the country's highest award in cinema, to commemorate phalke's contribution to indian cinema.
