The Selected Films

With the first films made around 1898 and the first feature made in 1913, Indian cinema is over a century old. In the exhibition we show excerpts from films considered timeless by Indian cinema audiences, as well as some that stand out as different from the clichéd popcorn romances with which Bollywood is associated.
