Essay- Role of Indian Cinema

Role of Indian Cinema

 Introduction India has one of the oldest and largest film industries in the world . It was in early 1913 that an Indian film received a public screening . The film was Raja Harishchandra . 

Cinema of Different Languages The social films of v Shantaram , more than anything else , paved the way for an entire set of directors who took it upon themselves to interrogate not only the institutions of marriage , dowry and widowhood , but the grave inequities created by caste and class distinctions .

 Some of the social problems received their most unequivocal expression in ' Achhut Kanya ' (Untouchable Girl , 1936 ) , a film directed by Himanshu Rai of Bombay Talkies . The film portrays the travails of a Harijan girl , and a Brahmin boy .

 Role of Indian Cinema Films play a vital role in shaping the society and influencing its people . A film is an art , formed by recording pictures from across the world or by creating images , animation and presenting in the  form of a motion picture . It is a popular source of entertainment and education . Since , the time of its inception , the film industry has gone through various stages of development . Starting from pure visual art , silent movie , to become a narrative structure by stringing scenes together , the film industry has improved manifold . It has evolved with the psyche of the society and evolved the psyche of the society . It is true that all films do not carry a message . Many are made for mere entertainment purpose , but every story has a moral and we should try to grab that . India is known across the world for its Bollywood Industry .

 Conclusion Role of films in shaping a society is something which is very difficult to judge . Although , films have very wide reach and some people do try to follow some beliefs presented in the films , the overall impact of films is still far from being a reality . Now - a - days , people do not get influenced in masses blindly by ideas presented in films or other media around . This process is good as films now don't have themes which society must follow and the time this media becomes sensible enough , nobody will ever bother to imitate the ideas .
