Abstract

Movies are considered to be one of the most popular medium of mass communication in India (Raina131- 141Gargan11-12), it is an effective tool of communication. India is a big country having more than a hundred and twenty crore population and every state has its own language and culture. Sometimes, it (the variety of different cultures and languages) seems to be dangerous for our unity. But, the promotion of multiculturalism solves this problem. Cinema can play an effective role for promoting multiculturalism in Indian society. Hindi is the mass language of northern parts of India and so Hindi films are very famous in north. Similarly, Tamil is the base language of all south Indian languages. So, Tamil films are very famous and popular in south. The study focuses on how far the people are aware of the reimbursement and negative aspects of multiculturalism in society. How much Indian films are effective for the promotion of multiculturalism?
