Right from Raja Harishchandra, India has contributed a lot in the world cinema. The period of 1947 saw the birth of a modern Indian cinema. Earlier, the films made in India were all mythological or sometimes historical too but after 1947, a huge change appeared, more and more reformist movies were being made and this brought a change in the society too. I personally got influenced by the films made by Satyajit Ray. Film-makers like him started focusing on the lives of lower class people who were ignored by the society.
