We have digital cameras in this generation but in old generation where there was film role, how did the film captured video in motion (not photo) on the top of it how did it record audio? Were these in the same equipment or different audio video equipment?

The video system using film was called a “movie”. The first movie was done in 1878, and it was silent. For a long time, movies were made without sound, and in some theaters showing them sound, in the form of background music, was provided by a live musician.
The first movie with integrated sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. The sound was captures on separate equipment, processed through some sophisticated analog equipment, and then added to the film strip as part of the production process.
There were home movie cameras, some of which could capture sound, but professional movies shown in theaters process imagery and sound separately up to the printing process. Even in today’s professional digital movies, this mixing operation combines separate sources to make the product you see.
