On one hand we have serious issue of unemployment (and underemployment), and still we have
movies like ‘Main Tera Hero’ , Dabang etc. garnering crores. 3 hours of movie like this effectively rejects the effort of 30 hours put in by parents and teachers. No wonder we complaint about
directionless students and helpless parents.
It is said that cinema should reflect society. It is really a reflection of aspirations of the population.
The kind of movies get Hit or Flop shows what the population likes to see and aspire to be. It
plays major role in shaping the behaviour and expectations of educated youth.
An analogy with fastfood will help to understand the entertainment. Just like food we all need
entertainment. Fast food which is considered tasty for tounge but bad for health can be compared with movies like Dabang , Rowdy, Main Tera Hero etc. Entertaining but not enriching. It is a time to move towards healthy entertainment diet. See SMJ :-)
