● Early films were British and American imports.
● The first Indian film released in India was “Shree Pundalik“ a
silent film in Marathi by Dadasaheb Torne on 18 May 1912.
● But Pundalik does not deserve the honour of being called the
first Indian film because it was a photographic recording of a
popular Marathi play, and because the cameraman—a man
named Johnson—was a British national and the film was
processed in London.

 Present Day Films
Cinema became increasingly
popular in the early twenty first
century throughout the world.
Unlike theatre
performances,cinema has
historically been, and continues
to be,affordable for the
common man. 
 THE NEW ERA

Now,the Indian cinema has reached the new

millennium and a revolution of sorts has happened
in terms of defining
glamour,entertainment,commercial values etc.,

With the emerging values in the content of

the films,the new age directors like
Rajamouli,Shankar,Hirani,hansal mehta etc created
some historic and relishable films.
Some of the films created in the new era are
Bahubali,I,P.K and so on.
 !!PIRACY!!
● Film piracy is the illegal copying and distribution of
movies in print, videos, DVDs or electronic files.
New developments in digital technology make
server-based or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing on
the Internet convenient and relatively fast.
 CONCLUSION

● In India, cinema can never die. It has gone too

deep into our mind. It may undergo several
changes in future. With other mediums opening
up, there will be a smaller market for films. We
are living in a global world and we are becoming
a judicious audience. No one can fool us, only
the best will survive and this is just as well.
