Indian Science Fictions- Movies

I would like to tell you about some Indian science fiction films. Our first Science fiction film Kaadu (The Jungle)  was released in 1952 science fiction film Tamil which was an Indo-American project.

Then Satyajit ray Came up The Alien which was Produced by Columbia pictures, a Hollywood studio in the year 1962, based on Bankubabur Bandhu, a Bengali short story written by him for Sandesh.  Then came our all time favorite "Mr India" by Shekher Kapur and it was listed in top 25 must watch Indian movies.

Tamil Cinema has produced a very good number of science fictions in India  notably three films, Dasavathaaram, Enthiran, 7aum Arivu and Maattrraan.
