1. Introduction
Cinema is an interesting topic but Indian cinema
popularly known as Bollywood is more so because
of the unusual persona of the people who watch it.
Mass media especially cinema shaped our society
and peoples’ attitudes. They control all aspects of
life which is related to the people, as how people
think, what style of clothes are the most
fashionable and how people should behave. The
views enter a trance, a state of absorption,
concentration, attention and engrossed by the story
and the plight of character. According to Ray Hom:
“Movies, which made its birth in the late 1980’s,
are a major influence in the way most of humanity
view the world. People usually go to movies to
escape the real world but when they leaked the
theater they leave with a permanent impression of
images of people and situation they lack the
expertise and knowledge of.”
Film, generally, has huge impact on the world. It
presents fresh style, ideas and customs etc. Films
not only create the attitude but also redesign the
attitudes. Films reshape old styles, customs and
ideas. If one thought succeeds sturdily in public
then it can be broadcast from one society to
another.
Jyotika Virdi “ Hindi cinema has its own agenda –
imagining a unifi ed a unified nation.” Hindi
cinema is the main educational organization of
India. While Hindi is a northern area language its
spectators exceed regional and lingual borders.
Popular Hindi cinema is the nationalized cinema
not just because it is produced and inspired mainly
within national boundaries but since it moves
national identity, consults variances experienced by
the nation, constructs latest accounts of the nation
and constructs awareness of nation- hood. Stephen
Nathanson (1993, 34–35) defines
patriotism:
1. “Special affection for one's own country
2. A sense of personal identification with the
country
3. Special concern for the well-being of the country
4. Willingness to sacrifice to promote the country's
good”

2. Ph ton 131
Patriotism describes the optimistic approach and
support of one country by an individual as well as
the inhabitants. The country can be a region or a
capital. Patriotism includes of thoughts such as
feeling the pleasure in success, and the wish to
continue the natures and the establishment of
culture, as well as to identify ourselves from further
countries.
Patriotism permits a country to take vanity of the
country’s past, present and future triumphs and, it
also permits the community to forever struggle for
progress, encourages inhabitants to take part in the
nation’s assessment making and assists in keep
peace inside the country as well as struggling the
various problems. According to Charles Darwin
(1871):
“A tribe including many members who, from
possessing in a high degree the spirit of patriotism,
fidelity, obedience, courage, and sympathy, were
always ready to aid one another, and to sacrifice
themselves for the common good, would be
victorious over most other tribes; and this would be
natural selection...”
2. Review of Literature:
Abdul Javeed, Indian Parallel Cinema (2012),).
Indian parallel cinema represents a change of
direction or a break with the traditional Indian
cinema, as well as the commercial success, created
a way for Indian neo realism called as Indian
Parallel Cinema.
Manisha Sethi, Cine-Patriotism (2010), in this
paper Bollywood reinventing India’s history in a
more glorifying way; much more implications
when these movies/messages are being shared
worldwide to a very diverse set of audiences.
This paper, therefore, seeks to understand the
different processes by which the movie
accomplishes this goal.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Cinema of India,
in this the cinema of India has had a profound
effect on cinema across the world since the early
20th century. It consists of movies produced across
India, the cinema as a medium gained popularity in
the country as many as 1,000 movies in various
languages of India were produced annually.
Shoma A. Chatterji, The Culture specific Use of
Sound in Indian Cinema,(1999),Indian cinema,
takes the sound design of an average movie for
granted, since songs and music form a major part
of the narrative and cinematic space, and are almost
automatic ingredients of Indian cinema.
Sam Mendes, Ellipsis, The Accents of Cinema
(2012), skyfall is perhaps the Bond movie many of
us have been anticipating since it’s the closest that
a director has come to elevating formulaic
conventions into the realms of capable mainstream
cinema. Both Casino Royale and The Quantum of
Solace were recognisably bombastic in their over
eager attempts to reinvent the Bond
formula.Shakuntala Banaji, Reading ‘Bollywood’ :
The Young Audience and Hindi Movie (2006), The
Hindi cinema is a global industry that is continuing
to expand and is more and more looking outwards
to increase its viewers, while continuing to cater for
the urban middle classes at home. And yet within
this development, the rural Indian audiences,
previously a significant part of the Hindi cinema
audiences, are being ignored.
