 Films were always sensational and sexy. While the celebrated 'first' Indian film, Dadasaheb Phalke's Raja Harischandra (1913) was mythological, the Indian film-going public were exposed to crime and sex in films from the same period they saw the first mythologicals. In the 1910s and 1920s, the biggest share of the Indian market was taken by American films, particularly serials, which showed daring feats and sensational scenes of the abduction of women with the looming threat of rape. Companies like Madan Theatres, the Calcutta-based giant film corporation, imported scores of such serials and B-films, which were shown mostly in tents and make-shift venues.
