Harishchandrachi Factory Page #2

Synopsis: Dadasaheb Phalke had abandoned a well established printing business after a quarrel with his business partner. He gave his word to the worried partner that he would never enter into the printing business again as competition! Phalke got instantly unemployed and workless. The family was struggling to survive. One day he accidentally stumbled across a tent theatre that was screening a silent motion picture. He was awestruck with the film. The idea of film making struck him. Along with his hardworking wife and two enthusiastic kids by his side, he ventured into a field unknown to contemporary India. Making of India's first feature film, 'Raja Harishchandra' was an amazing adventure. The Phalke family encountered mostly funny but also a few grave situations during their journey of film making.

I'd love it

Then let's make it happen.

We'll create a screen drama

But you were talking of printing

It's all the same.

It's a kind of printing

Then it's fine

You go home.

I want to see that machine again

- But...

- There's one last show

Come down. Hurry

I am Vishwamitra.

I've heard a lot about you,

Harishchandra

Truthfulness, generosity.

Very good

Say it dramatically!

I am Vishwamitra

Taramati, Rohidas and I

are at your service

What do you command, sir?

I'm going to test you

Like at school!

Not that test, you fool!

A test of character

And don't spill the beans yet

You'll get it in the end

Donate your Empire!

It's yours

- Donate two baskets of gold

- Donated!

But we've given you everything

How can we give you gold?

The last 57 rupees

It won't even be enough

for the basics

Wait

It's 59 now

Aren't we also short of rice?

- Do you want my jewellery?

- Not yet

Don't you think our house

is stuffed with things?

Saraswati, you have to be strong

Don't be sad. It's part of life

What happened?

We heard about the cupboard

Cupboard? You're behaving

as if someone had died

Idiots! Granny, nothing serious

has happened. Go!

Why are you crying?

I'm not crying

They were grieving so much,

so I also felt like crying

Go away!

All of Taramati for 4 annas!

I heard about the cupboard

I'll invite you for the last rites

I don't understand what's going on.

Poor Mrs. Phalke!

What can we do?

Why are you shouting?

We're selling one another

Please. Carry on

Finish it.

My friend is waiting for you

Yes

What is this? These are our friends

- Let go of me!

- Stop him! He's running away

Phalke, listen. Wait!

They drugged me

and took me to a mental hospital

- Don't be angry

- Am I angry?

We did what any

good friend would do

Did you expect us to do nothing

about this craziness?

Craziness?

Why are you doing this?

Especially when you can't afford it

- Remember Godhara?

- What?

- You told me yourself

- What?

About your photography business.

Remember?

It closed down in two days

Now you want to start

a moving photographs business

I closed it because of rumours

They said a camera sucks

the very life out of a person

- Rumours! Spread by people like you

- Like us?

Never mind.

Your business went bankrupt

And now it's moving pictures

What can we say?

He's gone mad

I am not mad

You're scaring the children.

Don't shout!

Babaray! Mahadev!

- Let's get something special

- What?

Let's do something special

before that - What?

Professor Kelpha's amazing trick

At least tell me

what you're about to sell

- A bird.

- Bravo!

Giant eye!

Great! It's a miracle

Open the door

- Granny is scared
