An increase in the number of Indian films glorifying violence is causing concern among censor board officials even. i feel unnecessary violence is contributing to the downfall of the value of Indian cinema .

I agree with you Chetan Juneja. Something has got to be done to curb such violence in the Indian cinema. Further, the youngsters these days are emulating the violence they see on Indian cinema.

Hi friends What i feel is its just not the violence but an overall degeneration of human emotion that what the recent films shows is further supporting the youngsters in taking drugs and involve in anti social things. What is the censor board doing?

like other art forms films also tend to depict the society. And we all know how crimes are getting in the nerves of todays society. A child killed another child from jealousy. a school goer stabbed his classmate over a very li l issue.. So directors are just making films on these cases.. We can t blame an art form, rather we should try to change the whole social scenario thus changing the narratives of a particular art form.

According to me, violence in Hindi movies can be shown only when the story or script demands. Unnecessary showing of violence here and there in a movie leads to bad effect on kids and teenagers. It often leads to extreme mental stress and trauma in small children. More hindi movie needs to be made providing some social message and ending on a positive note.

In any form, negative items should be down played inorder to safe one s culture and society. By sensationalising negative forms it doesn t help the society. It further helps to deterioate the minds of the young. Further, film makers have certain obligation to society and not just think of making money only.

But don t you think that we as the responsible viewers have something to do for this Violence. Its just not the media but we are equally responsible for this increasing violence. What say?

To a certain extend you could be right Ratri Basak. By patronising this kind of movies, we may in a way encourage the producers and directors to continue to produce such kind of movies. So the only way to ensure that this kind movies are not produced is to boycott them, is that correct Ratri Basak?

Guys why blame an art form for reflecting whats there already in the society. Violence is already their in our society and the films just reflect the same. We make a hue and cry when films depict such acts, but have we ever given it a thought that these very films always show that the people indulging in such acts are penalised. I completely agree with Durba that it is the real life incidents that inspire films. We cant just close our eyes and say that everything is positive. will such a take make the wrong right?

We are not disputing the fact that there are no violence in real life. But what we are saying is not to sensationalise the viloence in the movies and make the Hero look good or Macho. As it is young children who immortalise movie Movie Heroes are picking up these bad habits. In today s world, we can see the children involvement in drugs and crime which they have copied from the lifestyle of personalities that are depicted or potrayed in the movies. Further, there may be, a little bit of violence here and there in India but we do not have to show the whole world that India is full of violence through the blockbuster movies. We are neither helping the children nor the country by bringing in unnecessary violence into the movies. Some of us have the habit of justifying our negative actions but in the final analysis it is not helping our community or the world at large.
