India's First Movie
Movie: Raja Harishchandra (1913)
Director: Dadasaheb Phalke | Actors: D. D. Dabke, Anna Salunke, Bhalchandra D. Phalke, G. V. Sane
Scoop: Raja Harishchandra is a monumental milestone—the very first full-length Indian feature film. Directed by Dadasaheb Phalke, widely regarded as the "Father of Indian Cinema," this mythological classic laid the foundation for the entire industry. Because acting was considered an unsuitable profession for women at the time, the female lead, Queen Taramati, was played by a male actor, Anna Salunke. As the ultimate pioneer of the Evergreen Golden Era of black-and-white films, this masterpiece began a cinematic storytelling tradition that would shape Indian culture for over a century.

Movie: A Throw of Dice (Prapancha Pash) (1929)
Director: Franz Osten | Actors: Charu Roy, Seeta Devi
Scoop: A Throw of Dice is a remarkable artifact of early Indian cinema—a silent film co-produced by India and Germany. Based on an episode from the Mahabharata, the film was shot entirely on location in India with a local cast but directed by German filmmaker Franz Osten. It's particularly notable for featuring what is widely considered the first on-screen kiss in Indian cinema between actors Charu Roy and Seeta Devi, a scene that pushed boundaries and set a precedent decades before censorship norms changed the landscape of Bollywood romances.
