The first Indian film, "Raja Harishchandra," was released in 1913, marking the beginning of the Indian film industry. Over the years, Indian cinema has undergone significant transformations, from silent films to talkies, and from black and white to color. The 1950s and 1960s are often referred to as the "Golden Age" of Indian cinema, with films like "Mother India" (1957) and "Mughal-e-Azam" (1960) becoming iconic.
