He was born to a Sanskrit scholar.</I><I>He joined Sir J. J. School of Arts, Bombay in 1885-1890. He came to Kalabhavan, started in May1890, in 1991 and studied three different courses  </I><I>- shilp Kam [sculpture], Engineering Drawing, Painting, Photography.</I></div> <div> <I>It is said that, impressed with dedication, interest and intelligence Prof.T.K.Gajjar, it is said, imported special Camera from Germany. This was period of 1890 to 1896. It may be recalled that Prof. T.K.Gajjar resigned from post of principal of Kalabhavan to take up assignment of Professor in Bombay University. This fact is noted by shri Kashinathrao N. Damle - Librarian of Kalabhavan - in his article on T.K.Gajjar published in Kalachandra 1954 published at annual celebration at Faculty of Technology and Engineering..</I></div> <div> <I>          From Baroda after completing studies, it is said, Falke started his professional  he moved to Godhra and begun his studio for portrait photography. Following death of his wife he, after brief  stay in Baroda, relocated to Pune. Idea of setting up Sarswati Movietone was crystallizing in his mind. </I><I>He worked in a photographic studio and at Ratlam learned three-colour block making and ceramics. He then worked as a portrait photographer, stage make-up man, assistant to a German illusionist and as a magician! He was offered backing to start an Art Printing Press and his backers to acquaint him with the latest printing process arranged for him to go to Germany provided that he remain with the company. But by the time Phalke returned he knew that a printing career would not satisfy him. He raised loan from his friend and pledging his life insurance, Phalke went to England in 1912 to purchase the necessary equipment and acquaint himself with the technical aspects of filmmaking. When he returned from London he launched Raja Harishchandra about an honest king who for the sake of his principles sacrifices his kingdom and family before the gods impressed with his honesty restore him to his former glory and this movie was released in 1913. Later he produced Mohini Bhasmasur (1913),Satyavan Savitri (1914), Lanka Dahan (1917), Shri Krishna Janam (1918) and Kaliya Madan (1919). Due to changing tastes of movies and extreme commercialised atmosphere in film world, Phalke retired. Later in 1937 he produced Gangavataram (1937), but he had lost his magic. He died in Nasik, a forgotten man. But today he is considered as a pioneer of Indian cinema and a prestigious Indian film industry award is named after him.</I></div> <div> <I>                          This is how Dhundiraj Govind Falke is described on some ot internet websitea- </I></div> <div> <I>            " ...................and in India who doesn't know or heard about Father of Indian Cinema - Dada Saheb Falke".
