Role of films in Society

What sells is getting made,if  better products are made it would be sold more

Films are a reflection of the society.It reflects where the society stands and heading towards which direction.

A hit film shows the sense and sensibilities of the people who see the movie which in turn reflect that of the society. A films mirrors where and what the people think,dream and imagine.

Apart from providing an entertainment value, films also have a responsibility to the society.The filmmakers have a responsibility to bring about a change in the sensibilities of the people for the better.

In kerela at a certain point in time shakeela films were doing more business than main stream films, showing  their diversion in sensibilities clearly.Today the shakeela film industry have been destroyed completely by main stream cinema making better cinemas by better writers and directors.

Filmmakers,superstars stand a responsibilty for making better cinema.Films are a depiction of the society, its values,thinking and imagination.It should show what happens in the society more than making money, only then would a nation align itself to greater heights.

The current jonder of cinemas being made in bollywood is complete crap.Mainstream bollywood superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh khan should act in films that win critical acclaim as they have a huge fan following.

Better films like a Escape From Uganda or  Urmi (both Malayalam movie)can  only come with better people(talent),so there has to be an investment of time and effort on script writers,music directors and directors.


The role of India in the world is not to spread sexuality but spiritulism.

Amazing and effective Journalism by Sreenivasan Jain

The truth is like a lion.You don't have to defend it.Let it loose.It will defend itself.

In this era of fast and breaking news Sreenivasan Jain seems to have mastered the art of immaculate and spectacular journalism.

His recent reporting from the Gaza strip about the Israel and the Palestine confict has been simply amazing.

The interview of a 10 year old Mohammad from Al-Shifha hospital in Gaza ,appealing to the world for the right to live peacefully and with freedom like every other child in the world has been simply moving.

The element of truth has been brought out.The question of how many Israelis have been killed ,have been unanswered,whereas the Israelis seems to have targeted innocent children ,women and civilians in large nos.

The theory that Hamas having superior weapons has also been drowned,with it having home made weapons to defend itself whereas the Israelis having high end weapons to attack pointed targets.

This type of true journalism deserves all the accolades and appreciation in this age of hype and breaking news.

In this age of media sensationalism where truth has faded,hype has taken over true journalism,this seems to bring a breadth of fresh air.

Hope this sets the trend for other news channels and journalists to follow.
