Raja Harishchandra (1913)

Drama History

The first feature-length Indian film is based on the legend of Raja Harishchandra, recounted in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. It revolves around the noble and righteous king, Harishchandra, who first sacrifices his kingdom, followed by his wife and eventually his children to honour his promise to the sage Vishwamitra. Though, in the end, pleased by his high morals, the Gods restore his former glory, and further bestow him with divine blessings.
