About Rangbhoomi
Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, popularly known as Dadasaheb Phalke (April 30, 1870 – February 16, 1944) was an Indian producer/ director/ screenwriter, widely regarded as the father of Indian Cinema. His debut film Raja Harishchandra was made in 1913 and is recognised as India’s first full-length feature film. In his career, spanning 19 years, he made 95 movies and 26 short films. His most noted works are Mohini Bhasmasur (1913), Satyavan Savitri (1914), Lanka Dahan (1917), Shri Krishna Janma (1918) and Kaliya Mardan (1919).
In 1920, after disputes with his partners, he resigned from his company Hindustan Films and shifted to the holy city of Benaras and renounced the world of cinema. At Benaras he wrote a semi-autobiographical play Rangbhoomi. This film is an invocation from that text.

Kamal Swaroop’s Om-Dar-Ba-Dar, an avant-garde film made in 1988, is all set to hit the theatres in India on January 17, for the first time in 25 years under PVR Director’s Rare label.
The National Film Development Corporation (Nfdc) digitally restored the film after which it was screened out of competition at Rome Film Festival last year.
Kamal Swaroop said, “I never thought it would see the light of the day. These are good times when with such new distribution channels, a film like this can also get a release alongside big budget Bollywood films. There was a lot of mystery around the film and that will now be over.”
