Cinema and youth of India

Cinema is a huge industry in itself. Indian cinema is considered more spicy and entertaining. Television shows, bollywood and tollywood are the industries of cinema. It is a long journey of success and luck. 

When cinema started in India.

In India cinema started on 7 July 1896 by the lumiere brothers at watson hotels in Mumbai. They made a showcase of six films at that time.

Cinema was a combination of motion pictures. Earlier there was no sound in movies. The whole story of movie dialogue time was dictated by a person. Dadasheb phalke was the first who was introduced in Indian cinema. He produced and directed the movie “Raja harishchandra. It was the first silent movie of our nation. All the characters were male. Dadasaheb phalke also known as the father of the Indian cinema.  

Evolution  in cinema 

Evolution of cinema in India is just as dramatic as the cinema itself. You must have read about the Darwin evolution theory. In the late 1910s we found our first mute film and in 1931 ardeshir irani introduced the first sound movie alam ara. 

The first coloured movie was kisan kahaniya in 1937.

The 1960s is known as the golden era of cinema. 1960 was the time when we got many pictures and legendary actors and actresses. Earlier the involvement of the women in cinema was absent. That was the belief of the people that women should not appear on television. They would be objectified if they showed themselves on screen.  Drugabai Kamat (marathi) was the first female actress of Indian cinema.

Fight, love, action and song are always part of the cinema. Earlier graphics were not used. So-called heroism always dominates the cinema. 

Youth of India and cinema

Cinema is always loved by every generation of India. Cinema provides the material for all generation needs. Cartoons for children, love and motivational content for youth and religious content for older. 

But the youth of India is impacted more than others. They are really influenced by the movies and TV series. Movies like Triranga, border, tango chalier and many other army based movies invoke the feeling of nationalism. They want to choose the army. Bhagwan, khani ghar ghar ki, swarg all the movies which made us realise that our elders do so much for us. How  we should treat them when they grow old.  Youth is really inspired by what they see in the cinema. They start to carry that behaviour. 

Eve teasing or following a girl is something heroic in the cinema. As a result most of the youth do the same. But they forget that the movie is just a fiction of a person’s mind. The luxurious life which shows up in the movies also is a dream of youth. We often see people say that I copy the style of karina, katrina or any other actress. Even the choices of youth, their mindset is also influenced by the cinema. Young boys and girls consider that love is greater than anything. They learn from cinema that a career oriented person is selfish. Workaholics and successful people are rude and especially that one day you met a person who fell in love, left your career, still you became rich and returned back to your family and love. I am not denying that this couldn’t be true but the journey of success took time.

Youth of India spend most of their time on streaming aur watching movies. If the content is more science based, it could be the best combination of learning. Because motion pictures work with imagination.
