Which of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched?
- AIndia’s first Technicolour film ... Jhansi Ki Rani
- BIndia’s first 3-D film ... My Dear Kuttichat
- CIndia’s first insured film ... Taal
- DIndia’s first actress to win the Bharat Ratna ... Meena KumariCorrect
Explanation
Option D is the correctly matched pair because it is historically inaccurate. The first and only film actress to be awarded the Bharat Ratna is M.S. Subbulakshmi, who received it in 1998. While she was primarily a Carnatic vocalist, she starred in several famous films like Meera. Alternatively, if the question refers to a mainstream film personality, Satyajit Ray and Lata Mangeshkar have received it, but Meena Kumari never won the Bharat Ratna.
The other options are correct. Jhansi Ki Rani (1953) was the first technicolour film, My Dear Kuttichathan (1984) was the first 3-D film, and Subhash Ghai's Taal (1999) was the first film to be legally insured in the Indian film industry.
