On reaching England, Dadasaheb Phalke first subscribed to the Biscope film magazine and Dadasaheb returned to India after a three-month trip to England. At the same time, after that he watched all the movies in the theaters present in Bombay and for about two months he used to watch cinema every day for four to five hours in the evening and the rest of the time he used to make films. Due to this, his health was affected and he almost lost his eyesight.
