Films Division of India was established in 1948 in the newly independent nation. Since then, it has maintained a record of the social, political and cultural imaginations and realities of the country on film. It has promoted a culture of film-making that rests on a particular vision of Indian society and educating the masses. It is an archive spanning more than 8,000 titles, and represents a repository worth researching and studying. This page provides links to 2 sample films from the archive. Researchers will also find a complete table of the films produced by the archive. While the source PDF data comes from Films Division itself, the workable CSV file has been created by the Bollywood and Beyond team. We have cleaned the data, and it is free to download and use in data manipulations and visualizations for your own research.
