Who received the first prestigious "Dada Saheb Phalke Award" for Indian Cinema ?
Answer: D
The first Dadasaheb Phalke Award went to Devika Rani.
The award, India's highest honour in cinema, was instituted by the Government of India in 1969, the birth centenary year of Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, who made Raja Harishchandra (1913). Devika Rani, star of Bombay Talkies films such as Achhut Kanya (1936) and often called the first lady of Indian cinema, was the first recipient.
The other three received it later. The composer and singer Pankaj Mullick was honoured in 1972, the silent-era actress Sulochana (Ruby Myers) in 1973, and the music director Naushad in 1981.
