Vartika Goyal

Let's get straight to the point.. What I like about the movie most? It's simplicity and light humour is extraordinary. There are few scenes where Phalke sahab and his wife looked much ahead of his time and breaking typical Indian myth like : 1. He tried to convince the prostitutes to work in movie but they reject the offer by saying it will hamper their imag, then he tried to convince his wife to do the same role but she also denied because of work overload. 2. He told a male actor to shave his moustache because he was playing a woman in the movie but he was not convinced due to some ritual related to his father. He convinced actor's father by thinking about greater good. 3. It was difficult to find the actor to play the character of Raja Harish Chandra's son Rohit, as he will be died in the movie at the end. So, he decided to cast his own son for that role to break the myth and set example. It is an amazing movie, very inspiring and a must watch. Unfortunately, main stream cinema never made a movie based on Dada Saheb Phalke. It seems like they sidelined his contribution who give them their livelihood.
