Influence of Cinema on Young Minds
Introduction
The Effect of Cinema on Youth is a significant concern in today’s society. Movies nowadays leave a great impact on the minds of people. Cinema significantly impacts youth, and its influence extends to elders in both rural and urban areas, as well as children. While not all films have a corrupting influence on young people, their effects are undeniable. There are films like “BAGHBAN” which was a family film and made us learn a lot. Unfortunately, such films are rare, and current films are more focused on action, thriller, romance, robbery, and other genres that may have a negative impact on young minds. In this article, we will discuss the effect of cinema on youth.
Influence Of Cinema on Youth
The youth tries to imitate each and everything which is in the films and this reflects in their dressing style, their driving, their way of talking etc. The people start imagining themselves in the story lines of those films. Girls and boys, especially in the age of 15-21, are the easiest preys.
Impact On Young Minds
The dialogues and the dressing style of the actor become the latest trend for the youngsters. They try to imitate what all goes in films and without understanding that some part of it might leave a negative impression on them. Cinema plays a profound role in molding the youth of today, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and its far-reaching impact on young people is unmistakable.
Rural Youth: Equally Affected
Even the youngsters in rural areas are so much affected by the movies that they place the heroes of the film in a very integrated part of their minds. They try to change their lifestyle according to the films, starting from hairstyle, clothes, dialogues, and so on.
Impact On Advertisment
Even the advertisements or ads what we call, are no less. It’s human nature that we mostly follow the one whom we appreciate the most. There are ads that bring on actresses and actors for promoting a product in such a way that may lead the youth to some bad phase. In the films today, when the daily crimes, murders, and robberies are shown, some people take it in a
wrong way, and they purposely learn how to commit such crimes. They learn the tricks and tactics used for crimes in the films.
Dark Side of Cinema
In many films, stunts are being performed, the teenagers try to copy such stunts on their bikes and cars which many a times lead to severe accidents. Also, abuses are so common in almost all the films that even a kid of 10 years is able to speak such abusive language knowingly or unknowingly. Harassment and rapes have increased because of the free and western culture shown in films today.
Positives Influences
On the other hand, there are films like “Rang De Basanti“, which is a wonderful film, and films like “NAYAK“, are ideal lessons for the politicians of this country. But this remains restricted only in films, whereas in real life, corruption is increasing day by day. Family films impart valuable morals to the youth, but people often watch them, get temporarily influenced, and then promptly forget the moral lessons once the film ends.
Hats off to filmmakers like Ashutosh Govarikar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, as they never use vulgar scenes in their films to make them work on the box office and earn a lot of business. Film regulators must take steps to restrict vulgarity and explicit content, guaranteeing that all films meet the standards for a “FAMILY FILM” or “U/A” rating.
Moreover the screening of foreign films and an increase in cinema halls will trigger the competition and encourage local producers to make better movies and hence it will lead to such exposure which will ultimately affect today’s teenagers and even the small kids.
Ultimately, it’s “WE” or the individual on whom everything depends. Everything depends on a person what he/she gains from the films. We should see films to enjoy and learn good things and not let the bad things affect us. “Effect of cinema on youth” is a notion to be thought upon and concerned. So, beware of what you see and what you gain.

Everything was going good untill I stumbled upon this stupidity “showing free wester culture led to more rapes”. Not a reliable source. Showing free western culture should have led to boader minds but alas if someone writes like this it will surely lead to rape beacuse it is not the fault of the movie it is just the rapists and blame game player like you who can’t discuss about their wrong up bringing or our country’s backwardness. I agree with youth following movies for dressing style and stuff but saying rape is because of showing free western culture then you have a long way to go to even write on this topic especially about rape. Because this mentality is not taking our country anywhere.

It is true that films are corrupting the Indian youth .There are so many directors in India which are making B grade films that are diverting the minds of our youth. We used to see character in movies and we tried to replicate them in our own life. Sometimes we choose the good one and sometime we choose the bad one. Its our choice to choose whom we want but it effect our normal life.Many time we can see in news that some guys tried to rob the bank or ATM machine and they used the same tricks as in movies.
No, its not at all like this.
If films corrupt the indian youth, then what do you think that the real indian scenario is doing?
Is it not corrupting the indian youth?
Politicians??? what will be they left to do with if films are corrupting the indian youth.
Movies are a reflection of society & somewhere intend to cast a pun on it. Those dealing with absoloute fantasies don’t have any relation with real life.
Anyone who goes to watch a movie intends to seek “ENTERTAINMENT” & that is what a movie, is all about. There is no way when people get oriented somehow, from a source which is meant for entertainment.
