A cinematographer films, as other members of the crew watch, during the shooting of Bollywood film “Black Home” at a beach on the outskirts of Mumbai April 26, 2013. Indian cinema marks 100 years since Dhundiraj Govind Phalke's black-and-white silent film “Raja Harishchandra” (King Harishchandra) held audiences spellbound at its first public screening on May 3, 1913, in Mumbai. Indian cinema, with its subset of Bollywood for Hindi-language films, is now a billion-dollar industry that makes more than a thousand films a year in several languages. It is worth 112.4 billion rupees (over $2 billion) and leads the world in terms of films produced and tickets sold. (Photo by Danish Siddiqui/Reuters)
