About Dadasaheb Phalke Award

The Government of India established the Dada Saheb Phalke Award in 1970 to honour extraordinary contributions to the cause of cinema. The prize is named after Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, India's first feature film Raja Harischandra, which he directed in 1913. A Swarna Kamal, a cash prize of Rs.1,000,000, and a shawl are included in the prize. Devika Rani received the prize for the first time in 1969, making her the first woman to receive it. Prithviraj Kapoor was the first person to get the Dada Saheb Phalke Award posthumously.
