The first Bollywood actr and his first film

The first hero in Bollywood is considered to be Dadasaheb Phalke's "Raja Harishchandra" (1913). The film was directed and produced by Phalke, who is often referred to as the "father of Indian cinema."

"Raja Harishchandra" is a silent film that tells the story of a king named Harishchandra who is known for his truthfulness and generosity. When a sage tests his devotion, Harishchandra loses everything he has, including his wife and child, but remains true to his principles.

The film was a significant milestone in Indian cinema as it was the first Indian feature film and set the foundation for the industry. It was well-received by audiences and marked the beginning of a new era in Indian entertainment.

While there were actors in the film, the lead role of Raja Harishchandra was played by an actor named Dattatraya Damodar Dabke, who was not credited as the hero. The concept of the hero as the lead character of a film was not fully developed at the time, and it was the story and the director's vision that were the main focus.

In conclusion, while "Raja Harishchandra" does not have a credited hero in the modern sense, it is considered to be the first Indian feature film and a significant milestone in the history of Bollywood.
