Time and again, when watching movies i have thought to myself... Does this happen in real life... And then i'd just tell myself it doesn't and move on... Over the years, movies have become increasingly influential in our lives... Right from the kind of clothes to the kind of family functions...
I always thought Bollywood copued what happens in life... But then realised it was the other way... So does that mean our film abode has a hand in the way society functions?
So if u said yes to that... Ask yourself - do we only learn good things from movies? Or even the bad stuff? Over the years, 'bad man' in the movie world seems to have become more popular than the poor hero...
Movies, old and new, show how the hero stalks his 'dreamgirl' and wins her over... This is what stalkers do... And then when they don't get the love back they don't know what to do - cause in movies it always works!! From old movies to the most recent - Besharam - where Ranbir falls in love with a girl just by looking at her and then stalks her and she falls for him...
It's not just the movies... It is also TV soaps... Why can't soaps show that the saas and bahu are friends? Why is there always someone in the family scheming to break the family?
In most TV soaps, the minute the 'bahu' wants to have an identity of her own, why is she blamed for breaking the family?
For a country to evolve, it's important that it's people evolve... But with movies and television soaps like these, I doubt we ever will...
