first balloon flight in Bombay
Phalke's family life is a happy one- he feeds the baby and waters the garden with a hose. A dog scampers around here and there.
Phalke is taking photographs of his wife and child.
While he is developing the pictures in the dark room, someone opens the door by mistake, and the pictures evarporate from the paper.
The large number of rats that are dying around them frightens Phalke's wife.
Ravi and Raja Varma closely follow the proceedings of the case against a seller of German oleographs in Bombay, who is being charged with selling obscene pictures. The two judges, one British, one Indian, rule that it is not nakedness of the classical subjects that is objectionable, because loftier ideals than just a exciting of the sensual appetite, is visible- rather, it is the tasteless insertion of modern objects like a silk umbrella that is taking away from the idealism the pictures would other wise have.
