Phalke was born in 1870 in Trymbakeshwar in Nasik.
Phalke moved operations to Nasik and within three months produced his second feature Mohini Bhasmasur (1913) which was 3245 feet long and gave Phalke ample scope for trick photography.
Phalke's establishment in Nasik grew into a model studio with a large retinue of technicians and artists on its payroll, most of whom lived on the premises.
Phalke later started his own printing press, made his first trip abroad to Germany, to learn about the latest technology and machinery.
Phalke formed a film company, Hindustan Films in partnership with five businessmen from Bombay, in the hope that by having the financial aspect of his profession handled by experts in the field, he would be free to pursue the creative aspect.
The DadasahebPhalkeAward was instituted in his honour.
