Option 1 states that all of the names mentioned are winners of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. However, the provided answer (option 2) states that only statements 2 and 3 are correct. This means that option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2 states that Tapan Sinha is a film director and VK Murthy is known for cinematography.

Therefore, option 3 is correct.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 2, which states that statements 2 and 3 are correct.
