Shree Pundalik

Shree Pundalik, which was released on 18 May 1912 at the Coronation Cinematograph, Girgaum, Mumbai, is one of the candidates for the first Indian film (silent film). Shree Pundalik was produced and directed by Dadasaheb Torne.

All we know that the 1913 Film Raja Harishchandra is known as India’s first full length feature film. Shree Pundalik, released a year early in 1912, does not get credit for being India’s first film as it was processed abroad, and was only 22 minutes long.
