6. INTRODUCTION
The film and industry consists of the technological and commercial
institutions of filmmaking: i.e. film production companies, film
studios, cinematography, film production, screenwriting, pre-
production, post-production, film Festivals, distribution; and actors, film
directors and other film crew personnel.
Though the expense involved in making movies almost immediately led
film production to concentrate under the auspices of standing
production companies, advances in affordable film making equipment,
and expansion of opportunities to acquire investment capital from
outside the film industry itself, have allowed independent
film production to evolve.
With more than 600 television channels, 100 million pay-tv households,
70,000 newspapers and 1,000 films produced annually, India’s vibrant
media and entertainment (M&E) industry provides attractive growth
opportunities for global corporations. Enticed by economic liberalization
and high volumes of consumption, many of the world’s media giants have
been present in the Indian market for more than two decades. However, in
recent years, with near double-digit annual growth and a fast-growing
middle class, there has been a renewed surge in investments into the
country by global companies.

7. Abstract
A human being starts communicating as soon as he starts
producing his first noise in the act of drawing his parents’
attention. Every emotion that we portray on our faces, the
movement of our hands, the way we look at someone and our
speech instantly communicates our ideas to others. Communication
is highly necessary for our society, as it is only through exchange of
ideas and co-operation that a society can grow and develop. This
study is, therefore, timely as the society needs to be made aware of
the influence of Cinema on the social and moral turnout of the
viewers. Via this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the
social implications of “Impact of Cinema on Indian Youth” “A
Sociological Study” Therefore the current study proves that for
adolescent Viewing Cinema as a powerful medium of information,
education and entertainment results in the process of opinion
building in various social groups. And cinema is the medium of
cinema reciprocates in bringing a social change. And at-last it can
be concluded that Youths are very much influenced by the cinema
and they inhale psychological, cultural, sociological changes along
with the drastic changes in lifestyle, behavior, and so on.

14. Cinema in Varanasi
Way back in the 1950s, Satyajit Ray shot APARAJITO in Banaras,
capturing its ghats and the majestic Ganga in an unforgettable
panorama. In the 90s, Sunny Deol's GHATAK showed the ghats and the
city's famous AKHADA wrestlers. Goldie Behl's BAS ITNA SA KHWAAB
HAI was also shot here, since the hero of the film, Abhishek Bachchan,
was a Banarasi.
Bollywood's fascination with the prostitution in Banaras is also evident
from the many films that have depicted it. In RAM TERI GANGA MAILI,
Mandakini's character was forced into flesh trade at a Banarasi brothel.
Two decades later, LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG told the story of
Badki (Rani Mukerji), a girl from Banaras, who is forced to make a living
from prostitution.
The city's history has also attracted many. The Aishwarya Rai-starrer,
CHOKHER BALI, was shot at a fort in Banaras. Urmila Matondkar's
BANARAS — A MYSTIC LOVE STORY is a love story set in the city.
Deepa Mehta's WATER, the story of widows in Banaras, was based here,
even though she couldn't shoot a single scene in the city. There's also the
upcoming film MOHALLA ASSI, where Sunny Deol plays a pandit from
Banaras. Prateik' Babbar’s film ISSAQ is also a love story set and shot in
Banaras.
Though the list is not exhaustive, it's evident how well-entrenched
Bollywood's fascination for the city is. Perhaps it wouldn't be incorrect to
say that no other city has held Bollywood's fancy for as long and as
strongly as Banaras.

15. Movies based in Banaras

India.

Films and youth-
 Officially recognized by the government of the India , is all those in
the age group 15-35 are considered to be youth.
 Hindi films in particular-seem to play a large role in the lives of
teenager’s today.

ideas- be it in terms of dress codes, behavior or attitude. These are
often used by youths in their daily interaction with friends and
acquaintances.
 Films have created a yearning for romance.
 To be tagged “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” implies popularity, coolness
and modernity.

18. PROS of Bollywood

which they are unfamiliar.

 They stimulate people's emotions, imaginations and conversations.

creativity.
Cons of Bollywood
 Vulgarity
 Smoking and alcohol
 Most movies have sex content, terrorism which leads youth's mind
to dangerous way.
 Youngsters see movies & expect a very rich lifestyle & excess money
without hard work.
 Modern cinemas are violent, consisting crime scenes & , no moral
code
 Abusive language, intimate scenes and vulgarity is corrupting youth
and mind-set.

19. Imitating Bollywood
 Emulating the hero- herogiri
This is a concept which has come from the movies, to be or act like a
hero – this implies style, fashion and in associated with the so called
“Cool” behavior.
 Establishing linkage with glamour symbols
Bikes, Cars, Discos, Smoking, Dance, Boozing, Fashion-
Clothes/accessories/hairstyle and body building are the symbols that are
considered most glamorous
 Projecting the right image-
Projecting the right image is an important aspect. For instance, girls,
aspire ti project the “Uptown Girl” image- it’s one who is provocative,
presents a challenge- not just to other girls or boys as well.

20. PROSPECTS OF INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY
 Emergence of new sources of revenue: In the last few years, the
window available to monetize a film’s revenues at the box office
has shortened considerably. This is driving film studios to exploit
ancillary streams of revenue such as pay-per-view, mobile, online
gaming, and licensing and merchandising. The revenue from these
ancillary streams and cable and satellite (C&S) rights are projected
to grow at a CAGR of 16% from 2009 to 2014.79 The pre-sale of
satellite and home video rights has also gained momentum.
 Growth is expected to come from the expansion of multiplexes in
smaller cities, investments by foreign studios in domestic &
Regional Productions, the growing popularity of niche movies and
the emergence of digital and ancillary revenue streams.
 Rise of multiplexes: Multiplexes continue to gain prominences
across major Indian cities and companies have lined up
investments to accelerate multiplex penetration in smaller towns.
The number of multiplex screens is expected to double in the next
five years, from 900 to 1,775 screens.
 Digitization is providing scale and reducing piracy: Digital prints
cost 80% less than conventional film prints, allowing producers to
reach five times the number of screens at the same cost. This has
significantly improved realization, as 60% of box-office collections
are now earned within the first week of a movie’s release. Digital

21. cinema allows companies to control exactly where movies are
showing and how many times they are shown. It also expands the
reach of releases, from large cities to remote towns and villages
across India.
 Regional-language cinema forms an integral part of India’s
filmindustry: 60% of all movies produced in India are in the four
South Indian languages of Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and
Malayalam.80 This market is witnessing rising investments from
Indian and foreign studios, with a gradual shift in favor of regional
films as compared to Hindi films. Studios are also releasing dubbed
versions of popular Hollywood films, while multiplexes are
increasing their Screenings of regional movies.
 Outsourcing of film services: Services such as postproduction,
animation, visual effects, and 2D to 3D conversion are being
increasingly outsourced to India, driven by the availability of a
skilled workforce and the low cost of services.
 Small-budget films go mainstream: Small-budget niche films with
high-quality scripts have recently gained acceptability among
mainstream audiences. Strong content and word-of-mouth
marketing have helped studios to generate high returns from these
films, thereby diversifying their risk from big-budget movies.

22.  Globalization of the Indian film industry: Indian producers are
improving the international marketability of large budget Indian
movies by building partnerships with international screenwriters,
composers and technicians. International fi lm studios are also
producing and distributing Hindi and regional movies. Of the top
six international movie studios, four are involved in distributing or
producing Indian movies. A number of Indian film studios and
M&E companies are also expanding their international footprint by
acquiring international theater chains and production studios.
 Increased fragmentation in viewership: Viewership, especially in
the Hindi general entertainment genre, is increasingly getting
fragmented as a result of a large number of such channels being
broadcast in India. However, a few players continue to dominate
the market, commanding a significant share of the industry
segment revenues.
 Increased competition amongst broadcasters: With new channels
being introduced at regular intervals, there is increased
competition amongst broadcasters, for viewership and advertising
revenue. This coupled with high content and marketing costs is
expected to impact the profitability of broadcasters in the medium
and long term.
 Increasing penetration of DTH (Direct-to-Home): There has been
rapid growth of DTH subscribers in the last few years. This trend is

23. expected to continue over the next few years. However, operating
profits are still negative for the industry, due to high customer
acquisition costs, and is expected to remain this way untill a
critical mass of subscribers is reached. Major DTH service
provider in India are : Dish TV, Airtel Digital, Reliance Digital,
Videocon, Sun TV, Tata Sky.

24. Research Methodology
The Problem of study is “Impact of Cinema on Youth- A Sociological
Study (Varanasi). Basically this study is conducted nearby B.H.U.,

40. Q.20 what are the impact of cinema on youth?

41. TOP ANSWERS
 I don’t think films have that much impact on youth
They are one of the many factors in an ocean of factors
Peer pressure, parenting, schooling, etc. would have a much
stronger impact than films.
 They will only impact only if u want them to
 Films do affect the mind set of youth but I consider Television
having much more negative impacts on youth.
 Movies are meant for entertainment
You should laugh out the moment and leave negative stuffs
inside the cinema theatre itself
 It completely depends upon your perception.

46. CHALLENGED FACED BY INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY
 Content Regulation - A long-standing debate continues amongst the
Industry members on regulation of content. Some of the issues that
need to be addressed in this sphere include: Should there be a content
regulator or should the industry be allowed self-regulation under a
broad framework?
 Content - One of the problems is that younger generations sometimes
find the stories a bit predictable, and get bored of similar tales.

47.  Entertainment tax - A crisis plaguing the industry is the distortionary
rate of entertainment tax within states in India. For instance, in
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the tax rate is low. However, this
has not been the case with the rest of the states in India.
 Piracy - The Indian film industry is significantly impacted by online
piracy. A study undertaken by Motion Picture Distributors Association
(MPDAI) has put India among the top ten countries in the world,
where online piracy is at its peakIn India, counterfeiting and piracy
costs the entertainment industry US$4billion and losses of
approximately 800,000 jobs annually.

48. WHAT’S IN STORE FOR BOLLYWOOD ???
 Bollywood company tie-ups/collaborations (Corporatization)-
Reliance Big Entertainment signed a deal worth US$ 1.2 billion with
Steven Spielberg’s ‘Dream Works SKG’ to produce 36 films for the
next 6 yearsReliance also acquired around 200 theatres in 28
locations in North America to screen Bollywood and other regional
movies from India, Walt Disney has invested around US$ 324 million
in a deal with Yash Raj Films.Ramesh Sippy Entertainment has
collaborated with Warner Bros.
 Focus on niche movies - The recent success of small budget niche
movies such as No One Killed Jessica, Peepli Live, Well Done Abba and
Dhobi Ghat has re-emphasized the importance of content-driven
films.While these movies are produced on tight budgets, strong
content and word-of-mouth marketing can bring high returns to
studios. The success of such movies has at best been patchy over
recent years, but a few failures should not deter industry players
from backing good scripts with requisite funding. In addition,
refined audience tastes and the advent of miniplexes to cater to the
tastes of targeted audiences is likely to drive the production of more
such movies, which is in sync with the portfolio approach adopted of
late by studios.

49.  The Hollywood Connect
 Bollywood to Hollywood - Anil Kapoor in ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’ and
later in ’24’. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in ’Pink Panther 2’ with Steve
Martin and ‘The Last Legion’ with Colin Firth
 Hollywood to Bollywood- Ben Kingsley in Teen Patti (Three Cards)
Sylvester Stallone in ‘Kambakht Ishq’. Jennifer Chambers directed
‘Hiss’
 VFX TECNOLOGY- The visual effects (VFX) industry is a rapidly
evolvingsegment in India. It involves the creation of live action
imagery by using computer-generated effects. It is being increasingly
used by the visual media in India and can be broadly classified into the
following verticals- movies, TV shows and advertisements. The
segment is still at its nascent stage with mainly low-end work being
done in India. Domestic consumption is fairly small, and therefore, the

50. bulk of the work includes outsourced projects from the US and the
UK. However, the domestic market is seeing bigger budget movies and
ad campaigns, which are now open to spending more on VFX to
provide an enhanced visual experience to viewers.
 3D TECNOLOGY- In 2009, when Avatar and a spate of Hollywood
action, adventure and fantasy films released in India in three-
dimensional technology (3D) format, the audience was fascinated.
Now the bug seems to have bitten Bollywood. Several films,
including Dangerous Ishhq, Raaz 3, ABCD and Suparn Verma’s
untitled project for Kumar Mangat, were shot in 3D.

51.  ANIMATION TECNOLOGY- October 2008 saw the release
of ROADSIDE ROMEO—the first 3D animation movie out of
India—produced jointly by Yash Raj Films and Walt Disney
Pictures.ROADSIDE ROMEO is the tale of a pampered puppy
whose owners move, leaving him behind to fend for himself on
the streets of Mumbai, following by many other
Flicks.Animation movies in India are made on less than one-
tenth of the budget of a similar Hollywood flick. That's because
even a mainstream Bollywood film does not gross collections of
more than US$20.6 million (or 1 billion rupees). While

52. Hollywood produces animation movies with a budget of US$60
million to US$80 million, these investments are justified
because the receipts are to the tune of US$200 million.

53. Conclusion
The direction, in which Film Industry and Cinema are moving today, has
generated enormous social tension to which we have not been able to
find appropriate solutions. The situation as on date is that via these
commercials, power has been transferred to business houses that have
consistently ignored the social implications of their actions. The problem
is fundamental, as on the basis of the review of literature, it has been
established that the content of Films and Movies is damaging for not only
society, but morality too. Complaints and concerns about Cinemas have
been extensive since their advent17,18
. Although some substantial
research has been done on the positive and negatives both consequences
of cinema across the world, the behavioral consequences and sociological
impact of cinema on adolescents and its values caused by exposure to
them is yet an unexplored area. The researchers have not come across
much research on this issue in India. This study is, therefore, timely as
the society needs to be made aware of the influence of Cinema on the
social and moral turnout of the viewers. Via this study, an attempt has
been made to evaluate the social implications of Impact of Cinema on
Indian Youth “A Sociological Study” Therefore the current study proves
that for Youths Viewing Cinema as a powerful medium of information,
education and entertainment results in the process of opinion building in
various social groups. And cinema is the medium of cinema reciprocates
in bringing a social change. And at-last it can be concluded that Youth
are very much influenced by the cinema and they inhale psychological,
cultural, sociological changes along with the drastic changes in lifestyle,
behavior, and so on.
