Hello everyone,

Films are the most popular media that impact our society. The prime role of film is obviously to give entertainment.

While watching movie we imagine ourself into some other world. For 2 & half hours it takes us to a completely different world. We laugh, cry, sometimes scared also, after all it entertains. But this entertainment need to be progressive. As films have impact on society & youth it should provide some messenge.

There are movies like Baghban which shows our responsibility towards parents.

There are films like pride & prejudice, pink which tell about woman socio-cultural situation & lie stress on woman empowerment.

Films like tare zameen par shows is how we can think differently, & that is not also something not acceptable in society. Yes different people-different mind-different thoughts. & we all are justified.

Biopics like bhag milkha bhag, ms dhoni, mary kom are truely inspirational. We see how common people with iron determination, positive action, hard work can win in any field of life. Yes, we people can also achieve something if we truely beleive in ourselves.

Films like bordar, chak de India, airlift, jai ho, neerja make us patriotic. We the youth feel the responsibility towards our motherland. We feel the courage, bravery. We get inspired.

Films like 3-idiots is such an amaging storyline. Yes I feel that film is a huge success, not only in box office, but in the hearts of thousands of people. So true the concept that we all are running for marks. We people don't understand things, & our education system does not lie stress on learning. We all are becoming machines, but in real life scenery we should feel the humger for knowledge, success will autometically come.

The film Dangal, sultan is also very motivative, & won our hearts.

The film nayak show the political condition. It gives a strong message to our society.

Some historical things are often shown by films. We get introduced to ourselves by these films.

But eberything has its pros & cons. Films have also.

There are films which are crime based. Our human nature always cathes the evil thimgs. Some get crimimal minded.

Films showing vulgar scenes, sex provoking etc should be banned.

We people try to copy western dresses, their lifestyle forgetting our culture.

Moreover the teenagers use slang language fluently copying from movies.

The revenge process in films are often shown in destructive & psychotic way. We should avoid this type of revengeful attitude as it is harmful for oir society & most importantly for us.

The vulgar scenes, item songs are cheap thrills which distract us from moral path.

Children try to copy scenes from spiderman or superman, & it often end their life. Not only these films, copying stunts often causes accidents.

Horror films have no social values. Moreover these increase superstitions.

Criminal mindset, robbery techniques, rape tendency are gift of some films.

But actually, more than blaming films, we should blame our thought process. We have to take the good from films, not bad or vulgarities. Its our duty to extract goodness of everything. & filmmakers should show some social responsibility rather than making films for just only collecting crores in box office which practically have no good messenge or value, just a cheap thrill.

According to my point of view, Indian cinema are not corrupting the youth because it totally depends on us that what learned from the cinema.

1. There are many good things we can take from cinema like dancing, acting etc.

2. We can learn a English language by watching English movies.

3. We learn about the better lifestyle, education, behavior etc. By the cinema.

Cinema can motivate the people & give a new hope to them.

Cinema does have a strong impact on the brain, it improves the decision-making capability of a person.

Hello, friends.

I am Palak, I want to say that movies are used to get entertained but when we saw the anti-social things in movies like robbery, sex provoking seen, violence, etc. Our mood will spoil or bad feelings are generated for some time. The message which a filmmaker want to convey by using film should be clear. The films like 3 Idiots, Neerja, Airlift, Kahani, etc, purely gives their message. But when we come to the films like Veerappan, Love game, etc, they does not convey a perticular message. The effective n visual medium of presenting thoughts must be use properly not to making money it is used. BECAUSE the thing we saw effects in small % to our mind. The senseble people does not taking wrong things but those who are not taking wrong steps.

Movies leave a strong impact on the youth. There are some films which have actually come up with a social message.

-> Movies like Jodha Akbar, Bajirao Mastani introduces the youth to our culture and the historical events about which they are unfamiliar.

-> 3 Idiots gives a message on education. Education is not just about attaining the degrees, it has a much broader definition than that.

-> Taare Zameen Par brings about the awareness of the disease Dyslexia. It states that every child is special and has his own talent which is not necessarily to be in the field of education but in any direction.

-> Matrubhumi - A Nation Without Woman: It predicts the future of a country where a social evil like female infanticide exists.

-> My Name Is Khan provides a deep message that every Muslim is not a terrorist.

-> Swades which brings forward the problem of brain drain in our country.

-> Queen which explores that independence can help women to grow.

-> Aarakshan which reveals the issue of reservation.

And much more. The number is countless, need is to see it in a positive direction.

In a film, there will be a hero and a heroine. Every youth watching the film will surely assume themselves as a hero or a heroine as the case may be. All good things in society will not be copied and practiced by them soon, but bad things which affect badly in society will be absorbed soon and they try to put it in practice. The reason is the present films will be 95% are on commercial view only, then they will drag the film with useless characters, unwanted sceneries, sexy dressing of heroin only, kissing, rapes, violence, fights, sex provoking scenes, robbery description, worst politics, rowdyism and goondaism etc which are not useful only shown very clearly and with step by step to learn on cheaper cost at 100 or so. There was a news that a young boy has seen a robbery oriented film and just robbed the bank similarly. Is it really required for society? Innocent fellows also tend to learn such anti-social behaviour, since such character has been done by their favorite hero or heroine. Youth are so aggressive and becomes mad about their hero, even to murder the opponent in an argument. Recently near Hyderabad city, a boy has been killed similarly.

The present girl's behaviour has become intolerable especially in dressing, is just because of present films. Clothes are for covering the body and to be decent. But half naked or 3quarters naked dressing which provoke anti-social elements to do mischievous things is the reason developed just because of recent film dressing habits. Many parents are worried about their children. There must be a control on all anti-social scenes and physical exposing by females in films.

Most of people of this page discuss about movies. The main common message is that.

Movies have two parts one is advantage another is disadvantage.

Advantage is that from movie we learn about better lifestyle, education, any respected person autobiography, climate ecosystem, behaviour, etc.

And the common disadvantages are from movie which we learn is corruption, sexual harassment, Robbery, drugs, such adult content, violence, murder etc.

Lastly, I want to say that.

Every movie we get different type of message. Its our responsibility which message we accept in their life it may good message or bad message.

Hello Friends,

Most of you guys have made a lot of good statements on the movies. Basically, if you want to convey a message to the people especially in a large number you need a certain kind of medium. It should be very effective, powerful and there should be no difficulty in it during the process of connecting with the people. There are various kinds of mediums are there like newspaper, television shows and radio programs and all. But when you compare all the other things with movies the movies are technically more advanced and the audience will directly get the visual experience so within the short period of time we can share whatever we want to tell with them. I think that's the best part of the movies.

In most of the countries especially like in India majority of the people in olden days are illiterates. First of all, they don't know how to read and write, so they can't respond the great Indian epics like Ramayanam, Mahabharatam. Like that. But when the movies are filmed based on these mythological topics people easily get to know about the great characters of such kind of stories. That's the best advantage from the movies.

Movies in 70s, 80s, 90s and early 21st century are buckled with the social and family elements. They discuss about the joint families and relationships and all. But nowadays movies are dealing with over violence. Nowadays some movie makers are thinking in business mood. Lack of morals, money-mindedness resulting some bad movies. It's like a coin that has two faces. The important thing is we have to take what is useful from the movies.

According to me, everything has its own positive and negative aspect. Similarly in this topic, It has also positive and negative aspect, I mean impact on society.

Firstly, let's have a look of positive aspect: In today's era, where everyone is busy in their own job so some kind of entertainment is must. And Films are serving the same as per the requirement/needs of society. There are lots of films which works as refreshment/motivational therapy for our youth.

Usually, films are mirror of our culture and society as well. We can gain lots of Creative ideas, we can know various hidden facts about our country, we can know more about various hidden heroes of our country who have sacrificed for us, we can know more about our different culture. And positive aspects are endless.

Now have a look of negative aspect: Our country is known for our precious cultural values which is destructing day by day only because of some adult/useless movies. As we all know, youth are that stage of one's life in which possessiveness, adaptability, intolerance, sensitiveness always exist. So now a days, adult movies and their vulgarity are destructing our precious values, even we are not able to watch before our respected one.

Now it's time to conclusion: I would like to request from our censor board that they should ensure positive effect of movies on society. And our youth should take the positive of films and must try to implement it for make India the best country all over the world and make our culture the precious culture all over the world.

I strongly disagree that films are corrupting the youth as films is a hideaway for a few people from the real world. If you have seen the film Drishyam, you would have noticed how watching films can spontaneously give us ideas to tackle problems that are being faced by the youth nowadays. This begs the question, what about the blue films that corrupt innocent teenagers? My answer to this question is that films of such content must be blocked in a way that is accessible to only adults and not youth. Teenagers nowadays must also have a basic knowledge of the types of films present and must avoid as much as possible, the films that can corrupt the people. This said, I also feel the need to mention that I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings or offend anyone.

Thank You.

No, I don't agree with the given statement as:

1) Films can motivate the people, energised them or give a new hope to them.

2) Films do have a strong impact on the brain it improves the decision-making capability of a person, it improves the logical thinking.

3) Films not only provide with entertainment but provides knowledge, a sense of relief and may work as anxiety killer.

It totally depends on one's thinking how they use it.
