The document discusses the results of a questionnaire about viewership of social realism films among different age groups, genders, and themes. It finds that teenagers aged 15-18 are more likely to watch such films than young adults aged 19-22. It also finds that females are more likely to watch social realism films than males. However, in general social realism films do not have wide appeal and struggle to find an audience unless they are big hits. Themes around child labor, abuse, drugs, culture and domestic violence are most common in social realism films.

1. Questioner profiling
We distributed questioner in our school and also to random people and the result is following
From our questionnaires we noticed that age groups (15-18) they like watching movies,
teenagers have no responsibility , they do not have to earn for some body, or they do not have
to work all they have to do is study, besides studying they have other activities like watching TV,
games etc.
They have a lot of free time to watch a movie, so they watch every kind of movie when they are
free for e.g. Kidult hood is a social realism film, their target audiences were basically teenagers,
so the ratio of teenagers (15-18) is more than the ratio of (19-22) adults
Age group (19-22), when the college is finished, students go to universities, they have a very
busy schedule in universities they don’t get enough time to watch films and they might not be
interested in watching social realism films unless the movie is a bug hit or something, so their
ratio is less than the teenagers

3. It actually depends on the target audience, but over all there is not enough audience for the
social realism films unless the film is a big hit. Nowadays people do not really care about society
issues/social realist. They are more in action movies or comedy or love stories and there are
very few social films which are a hit like “Dirty Pretty Things”
