Indian
Cinema & Social Irresponsibility…
-Ankit JHA
December of 2012, a girl in her early 20s met an
accident on the streets of Indore, she was found guilty of rash driving.
As her friend quoted that she said, ‘let’s try.’ This try was
to imposter the speed sequence performed by Actress Asin in her movie
Khiladi 786, but she didn’t know that it’s going to cost her life.
This is among those cases that shows that why do we say Cinema, the
mirror of society. It mirrors the episodes in such a manner that leaves
an impact on the coming generations. Cinema is an important mean for
the mass communication. Recent growth in the technology and response
of consumerism has marked Cinema the strongest medium for the social
communication. No Literature or Radio or Television Programs touches
the mark has been placed by Cinema. Cinema has the ability to combine
entertainment with communication of ideas. It has the potential appeal
for its audience. It certainly leaves other media far behind in making
such an appeal. As in literature, cinema ahs produced much which touches
the innermost layers of the man. Cinema presents an image of the society
in which it is born and the hopes, aspirations, frustration and contradictions
present in any given social order. In this manner it lacks behind in
fulfilling the social responsibility that many a times is connected
with it.
The biography of Vengeance: the Source of Crime in Country:
Barge in the library of Indian films, rummage through it and take out any random movie and it will be a revenge drama. Any genre but end is same good’s win over evil. Every big movie of any decade has been an avenge drama whether its Sholay or Zanjeer of 1970s, Karz, Karma or Meri Jung of 1980s, Darr. Anjaam, or Agneepath of 1990s. Then came Ghajini, Gadar or Dabangg in 2000s. When we entered the second decade of 21st century, new revenge saga were created, take Agneepath, Shootout At Wadala, Gangs of Wasseypur etc. Experts say Vengeance in a bollywood film is the source of all crimes in India. It provokes, inspires and teaches to kill, molest and triumph at any cost. Example of Madhuri Dixit and Shahrukh Khan starrer Anjaam, where a man in love with a girl kills her husband and sends the girl behind bars. Girl takes revenge even when boy has become stationery suffering an accident or Trimurti, where a mother orders his brother to rear her 3 sons in order to kill the demon who killed their father. There are many examples of such movies whose central idea is revenge. It delivers a wrong message in the society. 241986 voilent crimes were registered in 2010, which consisted of Murders and many a murders were for the personal reasons so were the rapes.
Dhoom, Tashan to Gangs of Wasseypur: Being inhuman:
It all began with Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen, then it elongated so significantly that today it has become a culture. Indians do have a habit to make a culture out of a habit. Bandit Queen-Satya-Vastav-Kaante-
Then as soon as Indian Cinema entered its 97th year or the second decade of 21st century; crime rate of country along with Crime thriller genre started to increase. The father of all crime movies in India Gangs of Wasseypur came on the floors in 2012 Saawan and the Bahaar of crime kicked off. Crime rate increased by a considerable rate of 2.3% from 2011, it was the same time when Delhi became the story hub and it accounted for 10.1 % of total crimes reported in 53 Mega cities.
