(00:00) why can't we see Cinema as Cinema why are we wasting so much time and energy debating over a piece of entertainment what's wrong if a hero cheats on his wife and pretends to kill her when she questions him why can't it just be how that particular character is written why do we need to generalize it why can't Cinema be a mere piece of entertainment and why do they even give social messages and movies that we watch for the sake of entertainment because Cinema has the power to make a society also has the power to break a
(00:37) society welcome to the captivating world of Cinema where the stories we watch on screen have the power to shape the world we live in from the smallest to Village to the grandest to Metropolitan City the impact of Cinema and Society is undeniable now think about it how many times have you laughed until your cheeks hurt cried until your heart felt heavy and felt a sudden inspiration after watching a movie whether it's a love story overcoming all the obstacles thrilling Adventures that take us to far off lands or a thought-provoking drama
(01:08) the challenges our perspectives movies have a unique way of touching Our Lives the Indian film industry is one of the largest and the most vibrant in the world with almost 1,500 to 2,000 movies made every year which is more than double the number of movies Hollywood makes in a year approximately one in every five film in the world is made in India and it's not just mov movies that people get attached to but also the actors we don't see actors just as actors hero worshipping is very common in India if you come to my Village
(01:40) almost every other house will have a picture of MGR who literally died some 40 years back even our house is a picture of him and I just noticed it while working on this content right from Fashion to politics everything is inspired from the kind of Cinema we watch we want to talk like them we want to act like them we want to buy what they recommend we want to eat what recommend even all the big Brands want the actors to represent them think of one Big Brand you'll automatically think about the actor who represents them

(04:16) Godlike figure died in 1987 as many as 31 people committed suicide in 2006 when the Canada star Rajkumar died a huge Riot broke out several people died and the entire Bank bangaluru went on an Undeclared bun Bollywood icon amitab bachan has a temple in Kolkata which is built by his fans Superstar rajik Khan has a Temple dedicated to him in Kaa Karnataka way back in 1997 a DI hard fan of nagarjuna laid Foundation to build a temple for the actor after watching his film anamaya and he finished the construction recently after 25 long
(04:54) years in Tachi District Tamil Nadu fans have constructed a temple for popular actress kushu and later they demolished it because apparently she made a controversial statement on premarital sex recently in 2011 a temple was built for M who literally died in 1987 which is 25 years preor to the temple construction date and on the very first day of the Puja more than 3,000 people showed up a few years back in my hometown more than 100 peoples including some of my relatives shave their head for the actor vij's birthday an entire
(05:28) Village in Karnataka worship actor kitcha sud every house and Shop here has kept his picture like God's picture children there have sud's picture or named tattooed on their hands every Tuesday the people of the village perform a Puja for their de at the same time sud's picture is also place next to their Davi and he too gets the Puja now we have OT platform so we are sitting at home watching movies all night but if you want to watch a Tamil or Telugu Star movie first day first show at the theater it's going to going to be one
(06:00) hell of a crazy experience the first show will be arranged mostly around 1 or 2:00 in the midnight and the ticket cost would be anywhere around 2,000 to 10,000 rupees and I personally know people who are from poor or lower middle class families who bought the ticket for that absurd price you can see fans pouring milk and flowers over the huge cutouts of the Stars doing abishekam just like how we do for gods and temples crackers will be burst throughout the night and people will be dancing in huge crowds and all you can see will be men the
(06:32) first day of the big star movies will be unofficially reserved for men and if it's two big star movies clashing with each other the theater and that area will be done for good fans of both Stars will be fighting with each other and will break whatever they lay their eyes on and the even deaths reported on the day of the release and when the people are ready to die for a cinema star we are discussing here whether Cinema has an impact on the society or not the impact of Cinema has always been huge on the people and it directly affects the
(07:02) politics of the land and as a girl from Tamil Nadu we are literally being ruled by the cinema industry for the past 50 years the dravidian movement reached its Glory because of Cinema MGR Jita and karanti all three were from Cinema industry in the current generation Udi Stalin is from Cinema Sean is from Cinema Kamal Hassan is from Cinema and Vijay has recently announced his political entry as one of the big stars of Tamil Cinema N ramaro made a revolution in Andra Pradesh politics and all of them one way or the other used
(07:33) Cinema as a way to reach the masses in 1939 A Tamil film got released which was then banned by the British thiagi a movie which propagates nationalism and women empowerment you know in that film the husband kicks out a wife and then the wife becomes successful and later comes forward to offer alimony to him in the courtroom and this film got released in 1939 can you believe but here in 2024 we have movies that glorify sexist humor and the objectification of women in Arjun ready movie The Hero literally threatens a woman with a knife and she
(08:06) refused to have sex with them rape scenes have always been a part of Cinema but villains used to do it and it has always been portrayed as a negative thing but when did Heroes started doing it when did we start glorifying it and when did it become a cool Sigma attitude the kind of movies that glorify violence drug use and toxic relationship can make the young people believe that these are the cool things to do in 2016 a man from Delhi kidnapped a 24-year-old girl who was working at snapd when he got questioned by the police he confers that
(08:38) he got inspired from the Shan's character from the movie D in which the hero stalks a girl and eventually kidnaps her Akay Kumar's movie special 26 was already inspired from the real life event where the criminals POS themselves as income tax officials and rights rich people and walks away with all the money because it's all black money and they won't be reported to the police Apparently after watching that movie a group of criminals posed themselves as CB officials and rided at mut Finance Hyderabad branch and took 40
(09:09) kg of gold in Kolkata a school girl murdered her classmate with a plastic bag when asked why she said she learned this from a crime series she had been watching so far there has been 23 cases registered which is inspired from the movie buy or bubbly and 15 cases registered which are said to be inspired from the movie Doom one famous Cas is from the malapuram District of of carala where four people made a hole on the floor of the bank and managed to Rob 80 kg of gold and 50 lakh rupees they later confessed that they were inspired from
(09:40) the movie Doom a few years back an Aros was killed after she refused to marry a guy and the police found out later that the guy was inspired from the movie Kabir Singh in 2020 a young girl named Nikita TOA was shot dead in the broad daylight in harana because she refused to accept the proposal of a guy it was late reveal that he got inspired from the character MAA from the web series Mur which is known for its violence so let's done away with the debate whether Cinema has any social impact or not because it clearly has right from a
(10:12) person's character to politics Cinema plays a major role in it you know we have a saying with great influence comes great responsibility so it's high time the filmmaker should be held responsible to send good message to the society so that their movies do not justify or glorify the shitty behaviors
