The correct answer is: D. ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’, Sohrab Modi
India’s first Technicolor film was ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’, which was produced by Sohrab Modi in the early 1950s. The film was a historical drama about the life of Rani Lakshmibai, the queen of the Indian state of Jhansi who fought against the British East India Company in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The film was a critical and commercial success, and it is considered to be one of the most important films in Indian cinema.
The other options are incorrect. ‘Mirza Ghalib’ was a biographical film about the life of the 19th-century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib. It was produced by Sohrab Modi in 1954, but it was not India’s first Technicolor film. ‘Mirza Ghalib’ was also not produced by Munshi Premchand, who was a 20th-century Hindi writer. ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ was not produced by Sir Syed Ahmed, who was a 19th-century Muslim reformer and educationist.
