Dadasaheb Phalke

Dadasaheb Phalke is correct.

Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, known as Dadasaheb Phalke, made Raja Harishchandra (1913), India's first full-length feature film, and went on to make many more films, which earned him the title 'Father of Indian Cinema'.

In his honour the Government of India instituted the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1969, the country's highest award in cinema. Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar were later actors who themselves received this award.
