Who directed the first film made in India?

The first film made in India was "Raja Harishchandra," directed by Dada Saheb Phalke in 1913. This silent film is considered the beginning of Indian cinema, earning Phalke the title "Father of Indian Cinema." Option B is correct because Phalke not only directed but also produced and wrote the film, pioneering the industry. Satyajit Ray (Option A) was a renowned filmmaker but emerged much later, in the 1950s. Prithvi Raj Kapoor (Option C) was an actor and theatre personality, not a filmmaker of the first Indian film. Ardeshar Irani (Option D) was an early producer but not the director of India's first film. Thus, Dada Saheb Phalke is the correct answer.
