Ramchandra Gopal or Dadasaheb Torney
A young man of 22 made a feature film in 1912 and had it released on the 18th of May, 1912, at the Coronation Cinema
Pundalik was the name of the film.
Pundalik is who brought Vithal to Pandharpur
there was a day in the future when the race over the first was more forgotten, and Phalke s Tukaram and Gopal s Pundalik were part of a busy afternoon screening at the Film Appreciation in Pune. The smell of the rain had seeped into air and seedpods were everywhere on the roads around NFAI. Satish Bahadur was lifting the rims at the bottom of his white pajaamaas. Mr. Nair in dark grey s was already waiting by the main screening room gate. Students were moving in, talking, opining, not sure of what they thought or felt, the corners of their young eyes tinged with romance that they could not speak about. The wet air and the fragrance off the trees was tossing them all around. The older ones were easier as that feeling was an old acquaintance that did not shake them quite as much..the younger ones had so much talk trying to not talk of feeling like leaves carried along.Ramachandra Gopal felt content- this was the correct programme to show their films together. He looked around hoping some locals would also come, braving the rains. He did not want to make the preliminary speech setting things in order or talking of those who had put them in order. He looked around for Phalke, he might not come at all. Probably would not. He saw a white pajaamaaed man walking towards him through what were now sheets of rain. His eyes widened for a second
