Many predecessors have worked hard to make it successful out of whom Hiralal
Sen is known to be as the legendary of Indian Cinema. With pioneering zeal and
untiring energy, he learnt about film projection, imported different machines
and also had a few parts made indigenously and formed the Royal Bioscope Company
in 1898 for screening films supported by his brother Matilal Sen. As an
exhibitor, he struggled for two years and ultimately became successful in making
short films. Others especially Jesuit Priest, Father Lafont and Amarendra Dutta
of Classic Theatre encouraged him.
