+Est: 1918 in Nasik, Maharashtra. First purely
+indigenous film studio with corporate
+shareholding. Started by Phalke to replace the
+ailing Phalke Films with partners Waman
+Shridhar Apte, Mayashankar Bhatt (later
+financier for Sharda Studio), Gokuldas
+Damodar and Madhavji Jessing. Phalke
+resigned from the Board (1919) but returned to
+become its chief producer and technical
+adviser (1923) as well as its main film-maker,
+directing 43 of its 96 films. 35 of the films were
+directed by G.V. Sane, 11 by Shinde (including
+Tukaram, 1921); other directors include V.S.
+Nirantar (4), Kashinath Bharadi, Munshi Abbas
+and Abhaychand Lahiri who each made one
+film there. The first studio to have its own
+distribution operation (run briefly by Bhogilal
+Dave) with offices in Bombay and Madras.
+Started offshoot Bharat Film (1919). Its last
+film, Phalke’s Setu Bandhan (1932), was postsynchronised
+for sound but the studio failed in
+1933.
