Film, Theatre, and Media

Our Films Their Films is a collection of film essays by Satyajit Ray, one of India's greatest filmmakers. The book contains his critical writings on cinema, comparing Indian and international films. Dadasaheb Phalke is the father of Indian cinema, V. Shantaram was a noted filmmaker, and Hrishikesh Mukherjee was a director known for social films.

Do Bigha Zameen (1953) won the first Filmfare Award for Best Film in 1954. Directed by Bimal Roy and starring Balraj Sahni, it's a powerful story about a farmer struggling to save his land. Baiju Bawra (1952) was also nominated but didn't win. Daag won much later in 1973.

Raja Harishchandra (1913), directed by Dhundiraj Govind Phalke (Dadasaheb Phalke), is widely recognized as India's first full-length silent feature film. It tells the legendary story of the honest king Harishchandra. While Pundalik (1912) was an earlier Indian film, it was a short film, not a full feature. Maya Bazar and Damayanti came much later.

Striker (2010), directed by Chandan Arora, was the first Indian film to premiere on YouTube, releasing simultaneously in theaters and on the platform. This innovative distribution model aimed to combat piracy. MNIK (My Name Is Khan), Rajneeti, and Kites were all 2010 releases but followed traditional theatrical releases first.

Delhi 6 (2009) was the first Indian film to be released on iTunes simultaneously with its theatrical release. This marked a significant step in digital distribution for Indian cinema. Ghajini, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and Raaz 2 were all 2008-2009 releases but didn't have iTunes premieres.

The description matches the Bollywood film '3 Idiots' (2009), which was adapted from Chetan Bhagat's novel 'Five Point Someone'. The film critiques India's education system through the story of three engineering college friends.

Hrithik Roshan first appeared on screen as a child artist in the 1980 film 'Aasha', where he had a brief dance appearance. His debut as a male lead was indeed in 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' (2000), but 'Aasha' marks his actual first movie appearance.

Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000) was indeed the debut film for both Hrithik Roshan (male lead) and Amisha Patel (female lead). Both actors launched their Bollywood careers with this film, which was a major commercial success and established them as newcomers.

During the relevant period, both 'Kites' (2010) and 'Guzaarish' (2010) were Hrithik Roshan's upcoming/releases. Kites was a romantic thriller and Guzaarish was a drama where he played a paralyzed magician. The question asks which are 'upcoming' movies of Hrithik, and 'both a and b' correctly identifies these two films. 'Flying King Krishh' is not a real Hrithik movie (Krrish is a franchise, but not with this title).

Hrithik Roshan appeared as a child artist in 'Aap Ke Deewane' (1980) and 'Bhagwan Dada' (1986) before his adult debut. 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' (2000) was his debut as a lead actor, and 'Fiza' (2000) was one of his early successful films.

Jet Li's film Fearless (2006) is based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, a famous Chinese martial artist who founded the Chin Woo Athletic Association. Bruce Lee is not the subject (though he portrayed a fictional student in another film). Dong Haichuang and Song Changrong are not real historical figures associated with this story.

Jet Li and Jason Statham starred together in War (2007), where Jet Li played an assassin named Rogue. The other options are Jet Li films but don't feature Jason Statham.
