The film industry has grown significantly in recent years and brought about major societal changes. Films reflect both current and past cultures. Today, movies are created by producers and directors, funded by investors, distributed by distributors, and exhibited. In the past few decades, films have increasingly addressed controversial topics like religion, terrorism, and social issues, bringing greater awareness but sometimes overgeneralizing or sensationalizing issues for profit.

2. WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND BY
FILM
Films are a reflection of culture for both
the present and the past. In today’s era of
movie-making, each of the six major
studios makes less than 20 movies per
year. The rest comes from individual
producers, investment, distributors,
exhibition, handled by different companies.
These six studios distribute most of the
independent movies.

5. Cont.
 Films in today’s generation have managed to
cover a lot of controversial topics. These topics
mainly include religion, terror attacks,
transgender, homosexuality, child labor, poverty
etc.
 For instance, Indian Cinema movies have
successfully brought awareness about these
topics to the world through their stories and
concepts, But at the same time, they tend to
idealize or generalize few things for maximizing
profit, which adds to the controversy and may
even deceive/harm the public sentiments.
