Do Indian films enhance young minds?

                        - By an Young Indian….

Films have become a part of our lives. At present, everyone watches films not just for entertainment. But, have you ever wondered if such films enhance our life? Had you analysed, you wouldn’t have watched a film the next time because films are an obstacle to our development. Just think about…When you take into account the last 20 Tamil films that were released, there is not a single film that gives a beneficial advice to people. The so called heroes of these films have been depicted as youth who drink as soon as the day begins and as chain smokers who are unemployed. They fall in love with the heroine. As their parents don’t agree, they run away from their house. Is there a bit of good idea one can derive from such films?  As such heroes drink and smoke in films, young fickle minded brains consider such activities as inevitable ones to become a hero and they indulge in activities that might be fatal. Youngsters are traced as people who the world doesn’t require. Young minds which rose to fight for the Srilankan Tamils remain silent even after looking at these films.

Periyar, Rajaji and Gandhi  have called films as a ‘Blackmark  on Indian society’. I would like to ask the directors if they feel satisfied in giving such rubbish films. Moreover, most directors try their level best to increase the profit for the produces but don’t work with a sense of responsibility they are assigned with.

From where does gang rapes arise?. How do youth know that there are such criminal ways……No doubt, it’s root lies in films. Young people are ready to kill others for petty issues. Such murders can be seen only in films. Thus, it is only films that induce such violence in the hearts of young Indians. Usage of vulgar words by young India is also a negative impact of films.

In a year, we have around 5 film fare awards. But is there one to encourage the new inventions of developing people? If such great minds are awarded, it would be an encouragement for every other Indian to find something new. Why don’t we try that?

 So, how do we change?

Let directors produce films that have a positive impact on society. Films in which youngsters take the charge to lead forward must enter the arena. I do accept that 80% of film fanatics will be against it. But on the other hand, I have belief on film stars that they can ‘change’ this scenario.

The necessity for ‘change’ is felt. It’s time to pull Indian cinema back and put it to the top of its glory.
