How effective is the medium of cinema? Quite effective but more in the case of persons belonging to a particular age group. This has been my experience. I am sure people of my age would definitely agree with me.

--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

elen was such a good cabaret dancer. Her dances were not at all vulgar but graceful, said my friend. But when y children see films of those times, they comment, How does uncle say Helens dance movements were not lgar? Look how skimpily dressed she is. Why Helen? Even the heroines of your times wore such tight fitting d provocative dresses. You have no right to comment on the dances of present movies.

--[if! supportEmptyParas]-->

es. When I see old movies, I do find that some of the dresses that Waheeda Rehman or Sadhana or Asha Parekh Sharmila wore were really very revealing, body fitting and provocative. Why did we not find them vulgar those ys? Just because we were younger? May be. And what about the lyrics? Some of the old Tamil film songs had autiful lyrics and were well composed to lovely tunes. But only when we sit and think of those lyrics today, do e realise that some of the lines had double meaning. What is the difference? Why do we feel or comment that ms and songs of yester years were wonderful while the quality of films and lyrics is going down today?

--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

an only think of one big difference. Romance of our times was very indirect and suggestive. Body language as not vulgar. Romance and sex were separate. The romance that Nutan or Waheeda Rehman or Jaya Bhaduri pressed seemed very holy and pure. There were couples on screens who had no physical contact all their lives t still poured romance all over and kept haunting us for years. For instance, the best character that I liked in the m Sholay was that of Jaya Bhaduri, who appeared just in a few scenes. She hardly spoke a few words but she mains in my heart till today. Then the romance that Jaya Bhaduri and Amitabh played in Abhimaan is forgettable. It was such a decent love story and so natural that it could happen in anybodys life.

--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

ut then, the people outside the reel life also led such lives. We hardly saw couples physically even holding hands kissing in public. We never saw our parents romancing in our presence. Love marriages were rare and even in ch cases the couples never went around in public. But today, the lifestyle has undergone drastic changes and ungsters have become a lot more independent, bold and confident. It is good to hear youngsters doing well in e fields that they choose and selecting their life partners after a lot of thinking and settling well in their lives. owever, there are a few youngsters who have all their priorities wrong and end up as failures in their fields and eir personal lives. But such cases were existent even in our times.

--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

e major change that we observe today is physical nearness between the opposite sexes, which is not a big issue ese days. Love is most often linked to sex. Love almost happens more out of physical attraction between enagers and such teenagers end up in trouble. Infatuation and love are mistaken as the same.

--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

days cinema too exhibits this kind of lifestyle. One who watches the commercial Bollywood movies must think at life is all about mere love between teenagers; colleges are meant only for such activities and these days even h screen parents happily encourage and support their teenage children to win their love partners, never mind if ey fail in their academics and do nothing but only work in various ways to woo their partners!! What a wrong ay of projecting something so holy! True love is never identified. Children forsake parents who brought them for years, sacrificing all their wants for their education, for some partners, who may turn out to be big zeroes erely in a matter of two to three years. Divorces are increasing. Love, which is born on account of physical raction definitely vanishes soon and then the man and the woman can see only the demerits of each other. The ord compromise is totally being edged out of the dictionary. Each individual is becoming an island.

--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

between all these, it is nice to see movies also causing positive ripples like the latest movie Lage Raho Munna hai, which has awakened the feeling of Gandhism in the minds of the youth. Such positive discussion and loud nking on good issues may really increase the positive energy in the society. The director has really been very novative in bringing out a very serious topic in a very light manner, which has attracted the whole nation. Even the ripples are short-lived, it will definitely create some permanent impression on a few minds at least. The plosion in the media is also helpful in discussing such interesting topics and keeping the zest alive for some me. Hope more and more directors make use of this medium to spread more and more positive messages rather an highlighting the violence and sorrow in the society. Maybe that will some day help the whole world to live in ace. Very unrealistic dream but let us hope for this dream to come true!

GD 2: Effect of cinema on youth

Viral Vora (1) Motivational and Positive e.g., impact that Rang De Basanti had on the youth voicing their opinion in Jesicca Lal case or re-awakening to Ganghigiri after Munnabhai MBBS (2) On the whole, very ephemeral impact. Because Bollywood churns out over 800 films a year coupled with the demanding life of toay's youth, they watch movies mostly for entertainment and do not get affected much.

Merup Kapadia (1) Censor board plays an important role

in determining correct and ethically right things to the people as the cinema we watch in some way or the other directly impacts us. (2) Not only the youth watching the cinema but also youth involved in making the cinema are impacted. eg, if path breaking films are not made, youth might never be able to do out-of-the box thinking, for eg. films like Dor, Iqbal, 3 deewarein, being cyrus (may not be commercially hit but critically acclaimed), do encuorage young filmmakers to try and do something new. (3) Adding to the point of Viral, films/cinema do actually generate positive ideas in youth, for example, we have films like Yuva where in Ajay Devgan forms his own political party for fighting against injustice, so in real life there are political parties been formed in states by youth eg.(Five IITians have formed a new political party in India, named Paritrana & organizations like Youth for Equality.)

Devanshi Vaishnav (1) 3.1 bn tickets sold everyday in India as compared to 2.9bn in the US (2) Another direct impact is by the virtue of employments. Bollywood e mploys 6 million people. (3) When we say Bollywood, it covers movies produced in all languages and the fact that only 20% of movies (of 1000 produced a year ) are Hindi.

Biren Master sarrah (1) On the flip side, movies are one of the channels/medium through which western culture has influenced today's youth from fashion to relationships. (2) The increased importance of glamour over substance in today's movies must also be discouraged. (3) Noticeably, not many films these days address the 'traditional' social issues like poverty, dowry, plight of rural women (except 'Dor'), domestic violence, casteism and others due to which youth (atleast urban youth) are more or less ignorant of these issues. (4) On the positive side, path breaking movies like 'Chak De India' have come to inspire sportsfans, 'Taare Zameen Par' allowed people to understand and address the issue of 'special' kids and the need for initiatives that need to be taken for them for us to be truly called an evolved and civilised society.

Vikas Kappe (1) Cinema is a kind of digital media which has lot of power in order to impact minds of millions of people and specially youths in a short span of time. The impact can be positive or negative. (2) Effect of cinema majorly(except some rare cases) depends on how individual youth perceives it. e.g. from adventurous film, one individual young person may go for unnecessary adventure whereas other sensible individual can use this adventurous impact on his mind in his work to bring himself to upper level in his career/life. (3) Unfortunately many bollywood films are more focused on comic part and style culture by assumption of removing daily fatiguness in routine life. They avoid to touch important social issues which can also attract a lot of crowd like done by Madhur bhandarkar's films and Amir khan's recent film "Tare zamin par" as mentioned by Biren. (4) If we expect a positive effect of cinema on youth in India then many Indian film makers have to bring orignality to the films instead of copying some parts from hollywood films and

also try to make films enjoyable as well as a learning experience for the youths.

Vikrant Bawkar I would also like to make a point here. (1) Today we can see that the youth also got into the habit of smoking like how Shahrukh or Sanjay Dutt does in their films. The youth found themselves very proud to smoke like these superstars. (2) The other example is, in films like Vaastav and Traffic Signal wherein the Red Alert Areas were shown, todays youth is also getting attracted towards Red Alert Areas and wants those ares to be visited often. This is a very dangerous thing for the country like India which is going to be the Powerful Democratic country in near future.

Posts: n/a

Saurabh P (1) Effect of cinema on youth is, according to me, wide and varied. We could have an optimistic view and say how movies like "Rang De basanti" and "yuva" have positively influenced the society. While there are several movies which have just added to the negative influence on society. (2) Considering a country like India where cricketers and movie-stars are considered to be demi-gods, movies play a crucial role in shaping the mindset of the youth of the country who are the most influenced. The success of the products endorsed by the movie-stars like Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Amitabh Bacchan,etc are classic examples to support the case. (3) In such a case, movie-makers and filmstars become a set of leaders whose ideas are followed by the young generation. It is therefore necessary for the filmmakers to be responsible towards the society and set a good precedent in front of the youth. (4) Having said this, we as the educated youth of India should also act responsibly and not blindly follow the ideas depicted by cinema.

Here, self-censorship comes into picture and plays a very important role as cinema is a feedback-oriented industry. (5) Unfortunately, in our country, the censor board is treated like a puppet and has no teeth. The state of affairs in the cine-industry could get much better if the censor board becomes more powerful. (6) Apart from this, Indian cinema, of late has been greatly influenced by the western culture. Though the positives drawn could be that the Indian mentality is slowly becoming liberal and open-minded, its very important to understand that the traditional Indian culture should not be compromised upon.

Alok Thakkar (1) Every coin has 2 sides there r also some ve impact on people & childrens Such as Krish movie which influence the childrens vely .As there were many cases eg. That kids jumped from the bulding thinking that they can fly like Krish which took place in many cities in India. In India bollywood stars r like a living God for the Youth , the bollywood stars are much involves in the ads for colas, fast foods like pizzas, chips, lays & alchohal which is not good for the youth to get addicted to it & to consume it , but they do it as their favourites star are involve in it eg. Saif ali khan involves in ad of alchohal . Movies like Nishabd & chenikum are not accepted in Indian culture & it was a big shame that the star of the millennium MR.A.B was involve in this movies. Movies like Girlfriend & Ajnabi are inspiring the youth wrongly . (2) On the other side movies like Corporate, Page3, Traffic signal & Chandni bar r showing the dark side of the life which is not known by the comman people.

Shraddha Kamat (1) Inspite of the fact that most films that are made are 'flops', the fact remains that they are still produced. Isn't there a huge risk factor involved on the investment? Is there no entrepreneurial aspect to this (2)An awaking call. Films like 'Tingya' being accepted and appreciated after the world has given various rewards to it (3) Censor board is now only remnants of what it was. Films portray what they want to portray - the good the bad and the ugly

Karishma Savla (1) The impact depends upon two things the kind of cinema we are talking about and the receptors state of mind. (2) At a very young and vulnerable age , movies which depict violence, vulgarity, horror,sex and meaningless entertainment create a negative impact. (3) The latest six pack ab makeover by Shahrukh Khan and Kareena's Extreme weightloss regime for certain character in her film, created such a negative impact, that youngsters already obsessed to achive great looks and physique resorted to means like taking weight loss pills(drugs)and extreme starvation to emulate their role models creating serious health concerns. (4) Looking at the flip side, just as music and aroma therapy there is something called as film therapy, founded in a research centre in Moscow. Film therapy uses , health films (like health foods) to cure patients suffering from mental depressions, frustration, mood-swings,fatigue, disorintation, stress etc. The health films are nothing but comedy films which use simple and accidental humor that induce laughter which helps in reducing the mental strain and stress and helps release healthy hormones in the system.

Cinema impact on society

PROJEKT iVIEW | Talking-Points | July 28, 2008 at 9:53 am

iView Author: Zia (Lakshadweep, India) EMAIL: ialak [at] gmail [dot] com Title: Cinema impact on society The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. The communist manifesto (1848) argued that capitalism will produce internal tensions which will lead to society distruction. Many agreed initially but was absolutely vanished off the picture later though still prevails in some countries. He argued for a sytemic understanding of socio economic change. The communist manifesto past all the records then. It was an inpiration. Many adapted/followed/believed to the content of the book. They praised Karl marx. Many worshipped. Now let us come to a cram of the influence made by movies. How far can a change happen based on cinema? And if happened, how long would it last? Like i said above, when a single book can make huge impact on generations why not cinema cant? Despite its advantage over any other media cinema has always failed to convince the audience in large. Admitting influential movies happened, i noticed, there always was some kind of mataphor missing out there. Having watched many credible movies, some honestly touched me. But why there is no movie which would end result as communist manifesto did? Most influential movies were replica of books. Consequently were thought provoking to some extent. For instance, story Othello was made to various languages. I have seen the othello remakes in malayalam and hindi as well. Admittedly, these movies are crafted splendid. But bottom line is that they had to copy from a book to make it! Arguably we have well known directors and script writters who had changed and have the calibre to change the whole metaphor of cinema influence. There have been several Patriotic movies. But the feeling never lasted for long. Rather onlooker would overturn to his favourite cricket in short time! Completely forgetting about the cinema he saw. Unfortunately, this is a sad phenomenon happening in the movie industry.

There has to be cinema whcich could change people lifestyle, their approach towards life. Mani ratnam is one director who like his movies become accustomed in people. We need directors like him who should come up with experimental and true story based cinema which can touch life od many. I wish to watch evident movies rather than flamboyant. May be this is the reason prompted me to write this. There always had been credible movies all over the world. Many failed to convince but some did. i always wondered why not a cinema make an impact on a society. In my society cinema is not prevalent. In socities where cinema is prominent, many just give it a watch. They dont go indepth or research the raison d'tre of a cinema. My question to you is can a cinema make ( in future atleast) a huge impact on society? Can there be a cinema which could change thoughts of people? Your suggestions are welcome.VN:F [1.8.0_1031] Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)

I would add names of Raj kumar Hirani and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to the list. In recent times, movies by both these directors brought the youth of our society to a very common ground in their vision and the way to express it (namely Gandhigiri and RDBstyled rallies in support of their common cause).UN:F [1.8.0_1031] Rating: +2 (from 2 votes) Reply

tejas, thanks for your response. i was talking about a long-term influential movie which could really help change society. Arguably, gandhigiri and RDB was phenomenal. But somewhere it failed to last in ones mind. Isnt it? A day after watching this movies one is behind another concept forgetting so called RDB or gandhigiri. Rakeysh Omprakash should be counted in this list though i dont agree fully with Raj kumar hiraniUN:F [1.8.0_1031]

Zia, the basic reason why the movies you want to see dont leave a l;asting impression is because of the fact that the communist manifesto itself is flawed and a fraud. If you look through the history of indian cinema plenty of them have been madethey just fade away. Only humanist and universal themes survive the ages and resonate through time. The communist manifesto, just like any other messianic credo is built on flimsy premise and the power of suggestion that the messiah figure has. propaganda is propaganda, in the ultimate analysis it does not have the power to linger (even if for some time it may exert a strong influence). The one exception to this may be religion but that is an indoctrination that begins at a very young age and therefore requires a slightly deeper introspection to negate in ones mind.UN:F [1.8.0_1031] Rating: +1 (from 1 vote) Reply

only handful of people read Das Capital when it was written.. then these people interpreted and misinterpreted the lofty ideals of the book to the rest of their fellow countrymen.. whereas there is no scope of this kind of propaganda in movies.. moreover a book provides you the opportunity to visualise the facts and fictions in your own ideal way whereas the cinema restricts you to the visuals thought by some another person along with Karl Marx i will add Vivekanands name. his lectures from colombo to almora moved a generation of indian youth to start revolution against the colonial rule of British.. and most of them were underground. And i dont believe Munnabhai and RDB were path breaking movies in terms of content.. i see them as good films but hypocrisies exercised by our generation to show some credibillity.. Gandhi is not just non-resistance and youth is not just about rebelling..UN:F [1.8.0_1031] Rating: 0 (from 0 votes) Reply

There is a primary difference between movie and books ,while the former has an entertainment quotient ,books are primarily meant to be a source of knowledge. not to mention the fact that movies require a medium ,projector ,dvd ,cd ,while books can be written and read anywhere ,even when in jail. moreover it is very easy to convey ideas through a book rather than through a movie ,the limitations of the medium restrict what we can convey hence the limited impact ,which is why even a 100 godfathers(the movie) cant match the impact of one single Fountainhead .UN:F [1.8.0_1031] Rating: 0 (from 0 votes) Reply

Gandhi is not just non-resistance and youth is not just about rebelling.. But can you imagine a holistic picture of Gandhi without non-resistance and youth without rebellion? Also, as Vineet said, movies have an entertainment quotient. I dont believe today, when information is abundant, any book or movie or cultural movement for that matter stays much longer on the minds of the audience.

@Zia: Thanks for bringing this discussion on this platform, at times i am also confused with the same Q ? Can cinema change the society? To be frank , my life has some serious impacts of CINEMA . Quite a few movies are indespensible for me , which at one moment or other definetly helps me. A few are quoted below 1. Anand by Hrishikesh Mukherjee 2. Thoda sa Roomani ho jaayein ( Amol Palekar) 3. Guide ( Vijay Anaand) 4. Ijaazat ( Gulzar saab) 5. Anubahv ( Basu da, i personally believe this is the most touching story on Husband wife relationship) etc above flicks have definetly left some postive impact on my psyche and i go back to them to seek support. and yes, i do agree with you , RDB was pathbreaking, inspirational but lage raho munnabhai..i hv doubts. if we go by the definition, Cinema is basically a mode of entertainment , therefore whatever story we screen through the movies it should entertain the audience and in the process if a message is conveyed .. wow !! thts icing on the cake. my 2 cents, -Ajay
