'Rani Saheba' (My Queen) also called 'Bazarbattu' is a 1930 Indian silent film. It is cited as the first children's film made in India. The film was co-directed by V. Shantaram and Keshavrao Dhaiber. The cinematographers were S. Fattelal and Vishnupant Govind Damle and the cast included Keshavrao Dhaiber, Baburao Pendharkar, V. Shantaram and Anant Apte.
Vishnupant Damle, Dhaiber, S. Fattelal and Shantaram had left the Maharashtra Film Company in 1929 to form their own company called Prabhat Film Company. With the success of their first silent film, 'Gopal Krishna' (1929), the company produced five silent films in "quick succession", 'Khooni Khanjar' (1930), 'Rani Saheba' (1930), 'Udaykal' (1930), Chandrasena (1931), and 'Zulum' (1931). Out of these 'Rani Saheba' and 'Khooni Khanjar' are cited as some of the "lighter" films produced by Prabhat Films. Master Anant Apte was "nicknamed" 'Bazarbattu' following the success of his role in the film.
