Prabhat Film Company was founded on June 1, 1929, in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, by five young men, V G Damle, S Fatehlal, Keshav Rao Dhaiber, S V kulkarni and V Shantaram, after they broke away from their mentor, Baburao Painter's Maharashtra Film Company. The company moved to Pune in 1933, where it established its own studio and produced a total of 45 films in both Marathi and Hindi for over 27 years. The story of Prabhat was a glorious chapter in the history of Indian Cinema, spanning both the silent era and the early days of the Indian Talkie.
Today, the Film and Television Institute of India Pune, at Law College Road, is situated in its former premises, and houses the 'Prabhat Museum' which displays artefacts, original contracts and partnership deeds of Prabhat Film Company, along with costumes, properties, equipment, posters and stills.
