Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, popularly known as Dadasaheb Phalke, is revered as the "Father of Indian Cinema." He produced and directed India's first indigenous full-length silent feature film, Raja Harishchandra, which premiered on May 3, 1913, at the Coronation Cinema in Mumbai.
- Ardeshir Irani (Option B) is credited with producing India's first sound film (talkie), Alam Ara, in 1931.
- Dwarkadas Sampat (Option D) was a film pioneer who founded the influential Kohinoor Film Company in 1918.
- N.T. Rama Rao (Option C) was a legendary actor and politician who became a prominent figure in Telugu cinema much later, in the 1950s.
Phalke's contribution laid the foundation for the Indian film industry, and the Government of India's highest award in cinema is named in his honor.
